The Formation of Velvety Lawns 
The main point in having a beautiful lawn is to start right. In the 
first place, see that the ground is thoroughly drained and well pre¬ 
pared with 6 to 12 inches of good soil for the top dressing. The best soil is a good medium texture, neither very heavy 
nor excessively light. Have all roots, loose stones and lumps of earth removed, and the surface raked down 
perfectly smooth previous to sowing. Early Spring or Fall is the best time to sow the seed. When the soil is in the proper 
condition, level, and suitable moist, sow our seeds at the rate of 3 to 4 bushels (48 to 64 lbs.) per acre, after which rake 
lightly and give a thorough rolling. One pound of seed will sow a plot of about 200 square feet. When the grass has 
become sufficiently established it should be frequently cut. The oftener this is done the finer and softer the grass will be. 
The AJivtitw in flio Msirbot We believe that our Lawn Grass Seed is one of the best mixtures 
c csi 1 lixiuit in ine IVIU j n market. It was carefully selected, has been all recleaned, and we 
therefore offer it to the public with the fullest confidence in its superior quality. We sell it by the pound instead of by 
the quart (or measure). By this method of exchange the seed costs the purchaser less than when bought by measure. 
We have taken great pains in the preparation of our Lawn Grass Seed, and believe we have succeeded in producing 
a combination which will grow and establish a fine lawn under all conditions except that of utter neglect. The different 
varieties of grass ripen at different times of the year, and in order to have a perfect lawn, it is necessary to so combine 
the kinds that, as one ripens and dies, another is ready to take its place without making any difference in the appear¬ 
ance of the lawn. OUR BEST MIXTURE is made up in exactly the correct proportion to produce the most satisfac¬ 
tory results, and we cheerfully recommend it to all who desire a first-class lawn.
