"Safety-First" Purest Lawn GRASS SEED 
Sow “Safety-First” and avoid seeding 1 your 
lawn with noxious weeds found in cheap grass 
seeds. You get so much higher germination 
that a pound of the hest will cover as much 
as two pounds of the cheap, chaffy, low ger¬ 
minating seed. 
For the Lawn’s Sake 
Lawns may be started or old ones renewed 
any time from spring to October. 
New lawns should be thoroughly worked, 
leveled and allowed to settle, then leveled 
again. The more care before sowing the seed 
the better the results. Seed will wash to the 
low spots and make your lawn spotted. Sow 
about one part clover to four parts blue 
grass. Use not less than pound to 200 square 
feet. 
Sow part the seed one way and then some 
more crosswise, so as to avoid streaks. Rake 
well before and after sowing. Water gently so 
often that soil never dries out until lawn is 
green. Clover comes quickly. Blue grass 
comes slowly but hangs on like grim death 
after gets a foothold. Clover draws nitrogen 
from the air and enriches the ground for itself 
and the blue grass. 
Old lawns should be re-seeded and fertilized 
from time to time. Use only the purest seed. 
Never be afraid of sowing too much seed, nor 
too often. Dandelion and other weed seeds are 
blown or carried on to the lawn. Give the 
lawn a break by sowing good pure grass seed 
several times a season to compete with dande¬ 
lion seed.

with “Iris from Top of the World.” 
Colors and combinations of colors never 
dreamed of in the past are now to be had in 
NEW Iris varieties. Size of blossoms IM¬ 
MENSE. 
GOOD NEWS. We now have most of the 
best new Iris, and at favorable prices. 
Here in “Sunny Colorado” our favorable cli¬ 
mate permits increasing Iris stocks rapidly in 
order to give you the best kinds at the most 
reasonable prices, yet our winters are cold 
enough to kill off varieties not hardy. 
The best time to plant Iris is in the summer 
or fall. I offer no Iris in the spring, but con¬ 
centrate my digging and shipping between the 
5th of July and about the 15th of October. 
My new Iris price list will be ready about 
June 15th. This list will not be sent to all on 
my regular mailing list, but to those who 
bought Iris of me in 1937 and 1938, and all oth¬ 
ers who ask for it. 
I want you to have my 1939 Summer Iris 
Dist, but how am I to know who wants it 
unless you tell me? It Is up to you to help 
me out. 
Send me word any way you find most con¬ 
venient. 
Write a postcard or letter, or make a nota¬ 
tion at the bottom of your order and I’ll see 
that a copy of this list reaches you as soon 
as printed. 
Flan now to add some of the beautiful new 
Iris originations to your garden next summer! 
Healthy Iris from dry, Sunny Colorado
