YOU CAN HAVE A BEAUTIFUL LAWN 
Beautiful Grass! It is a real thing of beauty to look upon. It has a magnetic attraction for everyone. A beautiful 
lawn gives our homes such a delightful setting that we want to be there to enjoy it. It is a pleasure to work on it 
to keep it beautiful, to improve its beauty by trimming, edging, rolling, seeding, and feeding it. Flower-beds, 
borders of flowers, bird-baths, gazing-globes, sun-dials, bird-houses, all help to beautify these “outdoor living- 
rooms”—our lawns. We have all these furnishings. 
SCHELL’S QUALITY LAWN GRASS SEED 
is the highest quality Lawn Seed obtainable, made under 
our own formulas of the very fanciest, purest, cleanest 
grades of grasses, of the highest possible germination. 
To be sure of success and have a rich velvety carpet 
of green, always sow Schell’s Quality Lawn Grass 
Seed. > 
i 
To Have a Good Lawn. —Prepare the soil well, work it up 
as fine as possible, then scatter over and rake in your fertilizer. 
Now sow the seed, beginning at one end and work back, raking 
the soil fine and even just before sowing the seed. Do not rake 
after sowing, but press the seed lightly into the soil by rolling 
or with a board or back of shovel. Sow the seed very evenly, do 
not drop it in uneven quantities and do not miss sowing seed on 
every inch of soil, for it is necessary to sow Lawn Seed thick 
to get a rich, velvety green sod. 
For new lawns sow 1 pound to each 100 square feet, 
that is, 10 feet long and 10 feet wide. (For renewing old lawns, 
sow half this quantity.) There are 43,560 square feet in an acre. 
Sow 200 pounds to the acre to produce a heavy sod at once. 
Prices of Lawn Grass Seed are subject to change with the 
market prices of the various grasses used in the mixture. Order 
at these prices; if there has been any change, we will advise 
you before filling your order.
