How to Make and Keep a Beautiful Lawn 
Putting the Soil In Final Shape —After 
the soil has been ploughed or spaded thoroughly 
and after the fertilizers, manure and peat moss 
have been thoroughly worked into the soil, the 
ground should be harrowed or raked lightly to 
pulverize the surface and thoroughly firm the 
soil. 
When to Sow —Lawns seeded in the Spring 
should be started as early as possible. March 
sowing is better than Ajjril, and April better 
than May. The ideal time to sow is from 
August 15th to September 30th. Lawns seeded 
at this time are well established by the following 
Spring, when Crabgrass and other weeds are 
just making a start. 
What to Sow —Burson Evergreen Lawn 
Mixture and Waynesboro Shady Lawn Mixture 
give excellent results wherever used. These 
brands are composed of carefully cleaned, tested 
seeds that produce compact grown grasses ma¬ 
turing at different times, thus insuring a green, 
velvety surface throughout the entire season 
under normal conditions. 
What to Do with Old Lawns —Where a 
lawn has a thin and sickly looking stand of 
grass which indicates starvation, it can often 
be greatly improved by consistent top dressing, 
fertilizing and watering as suggested for the 
new lawn. 
When seeds and Crabgrass have infested an 
old lawn to such an extent as to smother and 
crowd out the lawn grasses, there is only one 
practical method of renovating the lawn, and 
that is to remove the weeds and undesirable 
vegetation and plant a new lawn from start to 
finish. 
USE THE BEST LAWN SEEDS 
The average farmer knows what to use and 
how to mix his grass seed for hay or pasture, 
but has little information as to how to mix for 
a permanent, evergreen, velvety lawn. The 
doctor, the professor, the merchant, the me¬ 
chanic, etc., as a rule has had no more ex¬ 
perience with lawn grass. He goes to a general 
retail seedsman who most likely knows farm 
grasses but knows little about mixed lawn 
grasses. The result is that you guess at what to 
sow and how much to use, resulting in dis¬ 
appointment. 
BURSON EVERGREEN LAWN MIXTURE 
Burson Evergreen Lawn Mixture is a 
scientifically prepared lawn mixture, prepared 
to meet the requirements in Virginia and ad¬ 
joining states. Naturally it costs more than field 
grasses, but will afford you a beautiful evergreen 
sod in a few_ weeks’ time, actually saving you 
money and time. 
One pound will seed from 150 to 200 square 
feet. We recommend using peat moss and our 
specially prepared lawn fertilizer in preparing 
your lawn for seeding. 
WAYNESBORO SHADY LAWN MIXTURE 
While our Burson Evergreen Lawn Mixture 
meets most requirements, it is not entirely 
suited for heavy shade. In fact, no grass will 
give entire satisfaction in dense shade, but our 
Waynesboro Shady Lawn Mixture will give 
better results than any mixture we have ever 
used in dense shade. On a well prepared bed it 
will survive for several years, until starved out 
by tree roots, making reseeding necessary. 
GARDEN AND LAWN FERTILIZER 
Just as our Burson Evergreen Lawn Grass 
Seed was carefully and scientifically prepared 
to meet the requirements for producing a beauti¬ 
ful sod, our Garden Lawn Plant Food is 
prepared to furnish the grass, trees, shrubs, and 
plants suitable plant food at the proper time 
and as needed. In preparing this plant food 
we not only had in mind the requirements of 
the plants, but guarded against using a fertilizer 
which would burn and injure when used as a 
top dressing. At the same time it was important 
to produce a plant food supplying an abundance 
of plant food value which would be available 
over a long period. Our Garden and Lawn 
Plant Food insures you against damage from 
burning, saves time and costs less than many 
fertilizers of less value. 
For top dressing or when making new lawns, 
we recommend 4 lbs. Garden and Lawn 
Lawn Fertilizer for each 100 sq. ft. For trees, 
use 3 lbs. for each inch of caliper measured 1 
foot above ground. For example, a tree 4 inches 
in caliper would require approximately 12 lbs. 
Apply within a circles extending out as far as 
the branches reach.
