Peters^ Special Lawn 
Mixture, 65c lb. 
A wonderful mixture that is the result of 
years of experimenting. It is especially pre¬ 
pared by us from the highest quality seeds 
that can be produced. It makes a smooth, 
green, velvety lawn with a thick bottom, free 
from common grasses which are inclined to 
produce clumps or knots. Only the very finest 
varieties of the most suitable grasses for mak¬ 
ing an even, thick mass of grass are used in 
this mixture. The various grasses composing 
this well-balanced blend are fine-bladed and 
deep rooting, sure to produce the best results 
under average conditions of soil and climate. 
It is all plump, heavy seed, free from chaff or 
weed seeds. Sow one pound for a plot 10 by 
20 feet (200 square feet); 100 to 150 pounds of 
seed are required to sow one acre. 
How to Make a Lawn 
The successful keeping as well as making of 
a beautiful lawn lies most largely in the thor¬ 
ough preparation before a seed is sown. If 
there is grading to be done, the top soil to the 
depth of 6 to 8 inches should first be removed, 
to finish with after the grade is complete. 
This should be thoroughly harrowed and 
raked to reduce to as fine a condition as pos¬ 
sible, as well as to level it, as nothing detracts 
so much from the appearance of a lawn as an 
uneven surface. Sow the seed as early in the 
Spring as convenient, the earlier the better if 
the soil is in good condition, scattering it in 
both directions at right angles to each other, 
which will give a more even distribution. After 
the seed has been sown it should be raked 
lightly, then thoroughly rolled. 
No one kind of grass will make a lawn that 
will keep green all through the season, but a 
mixture of several is essential. Our Velvet 
Sod Mixture is such a scientifically arranged 
combination, giving quick, sure and satisfying 
results unsurpassed by any general lawn mix¬ 
ture on the market.
