by Using 
PINO'S PARK MIXTURE 
qA Beautiful Lawn Is the Most Essential Feature of the Home Grounds 
Our Park Mixture will produce a rich, dark velvety carpet in a few weeks. 
We use only the highest quality, extra clean seed and as free from weed seeds as pos¬ 
sible. The seed is mixed in proper proportions so that we are able to offer in our Park 
Mixture something superior. As the cost of seed represents only a small part of the actual 
investment, by all means buy the best.

SHADY NOOK GRASS MIXTURE 
As it is quite diflicult to produce a satisfactory growth of grass in shady spots, we have made a special 
mixture for such places. In very shady places sometimes soil will be found to be sour and in this case an 
application of lime will be quite helpful, using about 10 pounds to each 200 square feet. More applications 
of fertilizer will be needed and during dry weather be quite liberal with water.

The Preparation and Care 
of the Lawn 
The ground must first be thoroughly prepared by 
draining, if necessary, and spade or plow to the depth 
of 6 to 12 inches, according to the nature of the soil, 
applying a liberal quantity of well decomposed man¬ 
ure, bonemeal or Bovung. the latter we recommend 
as being lasting in effect, not liable to burn the grass, 
and free from weeds. Clean the ground thoroughly and 
rake perfectly smooth and level, as much of the success 
depends upon this part of the preparation. The seed 
should be sown on a calm day, that it may be applied 
evenly, and at the rate of 150 pounds per acre, or one 
pound is sufficient for 200 square feet. After the seed 
is sown the ground should be rolled with a light roller 
or evenly tamped with the back of a spade. The plot 
should be mowed every ten days from May until 
September, using a sharp scythe in preference to a 
mower until a close turf is formed. Frequent mowing 
and rolling is necessary to maintain a close, even turf. 
April and September are the best months for sowing 
lawn seed. 
Plain, dried cow manure combining the chemical 
values of fertilizer with the organic and physical values 
of manure. It contains all essentials necessary for soil 
improvement and vigorous plant growth. 
For newly seeded lawns apply one 50-pound bag for 
each 200 square feet. As a top dressing, one 50-pound 
bag for 500 square feet. It can be applied at any time, 
except when wet, without interfering with mowing or 
the use of the lawn. Spread evenly over the surface 
and bmsh with a broom or bamboo rake. Spray the 
lawn lightly after applying.
