DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING LAWNS 
The seed bed should be spaded or plowed to a depth of 6 or 7 in. All lumps should be broken up. 
the surface smoothed with rake or plank and well firmed. Sow evenly on a quiet day, rake in weJl and 
roll if possible. Use seed at the rate of 1 lb. per 200 square ft. If possible water thoroughly at once. 
Good loam soil is best, for the finest lawn black dirt may be spread several inches thick but a good 
turf of the hardier varieties does not require it. 
Our Emerald Mixture should be u.sed for the best lawns where water is available. 
Red Top and ('hewings Fescue are adapted to shady spots. 
For a little harder conditions but where some watering is possible, use otir Dakota IMixture. 
For a good looking dry land lawn, farm yard or large public grounds use Buftalo Grass Stolons or 
Fairway Crested Wheat Grass. 
Do not permit the watered lawn to dry out at all until the grass 
is well up. 
Fertilize from year to year as indicated by the condition of the 
lawn.

BUFFALO GRASS 
PLANTS 
This native grass, which 
seldom produces viable seed, 
is undoubtedly the most per¬ 
fect lawn grass for dry condi¬ 
tions in existence. It spreads 
by means of runners, throws 
up no tall stalks, hut produces 
a dense mat on the ground— 
the bent grass of the plains. 
We list this gra.ss by the 100 
plants or stolons. The plants 
are set out from G to 1.5 inches 
apart each way. In one sea¬ 
son the whole area should fill 
in. Its only fault is that it 
turns brown early in the fall. 
Needs practically no mowing.

CREEPING BENT ^ 
GRASS SEED i 
This is very popular for lawn 
grass purposes and makes a 
wonderful lawn after it is once 
established. Must be plnnted 
and tended very carefully until 
it has made a small growth. 
Requires lots of water. Lb.,

This strain developed at the Saskatchewan Experi¬ 
ment Station answers very well for large lawn areas, 
public grounds, parks, football fields, etc. It is a 
fine grass, stands cutting well, keeps green late. Is a trifle bunchy. 
Also a very good hay and forage plant. Heavier yielding and leafier 
than the S'tandard Strain, yet in a dry year it may not yield q’uite as much, ^
