Lawns 
To get the best lawns possible on the Eastern 
Shore, it is necessary to prepare the soil properly. It is 
advisable to thoroughly cultivate and loosen the sur¬ 
face several inches deep. Nearly all soils are sadly de¬ 
ficient in humus, so that it is desirable to add up to 
an inch to the whole surface of the lawn area. This 
should be well mixed in. Any good lawn fertilizer 
should be added; lime is not so necessary unless a 
Blue Grass lawn is desired. We do not recommend 
Kentucky Blue Grass for this section. Fall is the best 
time for seeding lawns. If you do not have competent 
help for preparing lawns, we do. 
We offer the grass seed mixture found by con¬ 
tinued testing to be the best for this section.

FERTILIZER

HYPER—HUMUS 
Hyper-Humus is the very finest form of organic 
matter for building up the soil in lawns and gardens. 
Added to the soil it reduces dangers of drying and 
increases the fertility by acting as a carrier for fer¬ 
tilizer. For lawns add one-third to one inch of Hyper- 
Humus and mix in the soil. For plants, add about 
one-fourth by volume of Hyper-Humus to the soil 
when planting. Use it as a mulch. 
100 lb. bag_$ 1.50
