OSCAR H. WILL & CO., BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA 
WILL'S PIONEER BRAND GRASS SEED 
DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING LAWNS 
The seed hed should be spaded or plowed to a depth of 6 or 7 in. All lumps should be broken up, 
the surface smoothed with rake or plank and well firmed. Sow' evenly on a quiet day, rake in well and 
roll if possible. Use seed at the rate of 1 lb. per 200 square ft. If possible wa,ter thoroughly at once. 
Good loam soil is best, for the finest lawn black dirt may be spread several inches thick but a good 
turf of the hardier varieties does not require it. 
Our Emerald Mixture should be used for the best lawns where water is available. 
Red Top and Chewings Fescue are adapted to shady spots. 
For a little harder conditions but where some watering is possible, use oUr Dakota Mixture. 
For a, good looking 1 dry land lawn, farm yard or large public grounds use Buffalo Grass Stolons or 
Fairway Crested Wheat Grass. 
Do not permit the watered lawn to dry out at all until the grass 
is well up. 
Fertilize from year to year as indicated by the condition of the 
lawn.

BUFFALO GRASS 
PLANTS 
This native grass, which sel¬ 
dom produces viable seed, is 
undoubtedly the most perfect 
lawn grass for dry conditions in 
existence. It spreads by means 
of runners, throws up no tall 
stalks, but produces a dense 
mat on the ground — the bent 
grass of the plains. We list 
this grass by the 100 plants or 
stolons. The plants are set out 
from 6 to 15 inches apart each 
way. In one season the whole 
area should fill in. Its only fault 
is that it turns reddish early in 
the fall. Needs practically no 
mowing. Per 100 stolons post¬ 
paid, 65c (enough for 140 sq. 
ft.); 500, $3.00; F. O. B. here, 
100O, $5.00.

public grounds, parks, football fields, etc. It is a fine grass, stands cutting 
well, keeps green late. Is a trifle bunchy, , , _ ..

the Standard Strain, yet in a dry year it may not Yield quite as much.
