A good lawn is the most beautiful and most essential feature of 
the home grounds; or of any landscape development. Nothing else 
can set off the architectural beauty of a building to better advan¬ 
tage than a well-made, well-kept lawn. A beautiful lawn is not 
only valuable from an aesthetic viewpoint, but, it also has intrinsic 
value, actually increasing the value of the property upon which it 
grows. 
A lawn made with WAYSIDE GARDENS OPEN PLACE LAWN 
MIXTURE is practically permanent. Cus¬ 
tomers tell us that lawns made with this 
mixture many years ago are as beautiful 
today as when they were first made. 
It should be borne in mind when con¬ 
sidering the making of a lawn that the 
cost of the seed represents only a small 
part of the actual investment. The labor 
cost is usually far in excess of the cost 
of the seed. It is therefore false economy 
to save a few cents by buying a mixture of grass seeds obtained 
from a questionable source, only to be obliged to endure the an¬ 
noyance and expense of continually repatching a weedy, irregular 
turf and perhaps being forced to do the entire work over again. 
Wayside Gardens Open Place Lawn Mixture has been thor¬ 
oughly tested by nation-wide use. It is the fruit of years of our 
personal experience and study, coupled with that of many of 
America's foremost gardeners, who stead¬ 
fastly maintain and unite with us in say¬ 
ing that it has no superior for American 
conditions and the American climate. 
The rapidity with which it will form a 
deep green velvety turf, is a delight of 
gardeners. Under ordinary conditions, the 
base soil will be clothed with an emerald 
carpet of living green in four weeks' 
time. For lawn fertilizer use Wayside 
Gardens plant food. See page 56.
