30 Our Lawn Grass Is the Best You Can Buy 
Our Extra-Fine Lawn Grass Mixture 
"Good in Shade or Sunshine" 
A well-kept lawn adds to the beauty and value of any residence, and a 
good stand of lawn grass can be secured only by using the right kind of seed 
mixed in the proper proportions. Our Grass Seed Mixture is made up of 
fresh, unadulterated seeds, natural and foreign, and fancy White Dutch 
Clover, in such proportions as to insure a beautiful and permanent lawn. 
It is carefully analyzed to determine its purity and thoroughly tested as to 
germination. We know it will grow and give the greatest satisfaction. 
MAKING THE LAWN 
While it is absolutely essential that good seed be used in the making of a lawn, there 
are other elements that enter in, such as the proper preparation of the soil and the absence 
of manure that contains weed seeds. The soil should be well dug and evenly raked, after 
which the grass seed should be sown by hand, half the quantity in one direction and half 
at right angles to it. The grass seed is more evenly distributed by sowing it in this manner. 
After seeding, rake thoroughly with a steel rake and roll the surface until packed down 
hard and smooth. Grass seed may be sown in early spring, after hard freezing is over, until 
as late as the middle of June, but not during hot, dry weather. It may again be sown from 
September 1 to the middle of October, or even later if the weather is warm and not too dry. 
For a thick, velvety sod, it is necessary to sow the seed thickly,—one quart to every 100 
square feet is not too much.
