WOOD’S FINEST LAWN GRASS MIXTURES 
FALL SEEDING GIVES BEST RESULTS—Favorable 
Conditions—In fall the soil is warm and seed germination at 
its highest. Cool weather promotes root activity and the 
grass thrives while the annual weeds and crab grass die out. 
With nine months to grow, a dense and vigorous lawn will 
crowd out weeds next summer. 
HOW TO GROW THE BEST LAWNS—Soil Should Be 
Rich and Deep to Retain Moisture—Dig up and pulverize the 
ground thoroughly. Work fertilizer and organic matter into 
the soil and rake until smooth. Allow the soil to settle, roll¬ 
ing it and watering it thoroughly. Broadcast the seed thick¬ 
ly, half one way and half the other. Cover lightly and roll 
or pack the soil so the seedlings can take hold quickly. 
Water generously with a fine spray. Cut no closer than 1- 
inch. In the spring, reseed and top dress with fertilizer. 
WOOD’S “SHADY PARK” LAWN GRASS—For Shady 
Spots. Few grasses thrive in shade. Our mixture is com¬ 
posed of dwarf grasses especially adapted to shady places 
under trees and around the house. Under trees apply a 
double quantity of fertilizer and water. 
WOOD’S “EMERALD PARK” Lawn Grass—For a Large 
Area, Inexpensive. The best inexpensive blend of fine 
grasses for a year ’round lawn, athletic field or park. It 
will stand more adverse conditions of dry or hot weather 
than the finer lawn grasses. It is adapted to the Middle 
and South Atlantic States. Sow at the rate of 125 pounds 
per acre or 1 pound per 150 square feet. 
“RYE GRASS”—Domestic—Winter Grass Only—Sow 1 lb. 
to 100 Square Feet or 100 lbs. per acre. 
RESEEDING OLD LAWNS—1 Pound of Seed for 500 
Square Feet. Stir the soil with a sharp rake. Apply fer¬ 
tilizer and humus and broadcast the seed, sowing it thicker 
in bare spots. Roll and water generously. 
What Grass Seed to Plant i ib. to 200 sq. ft. 
WOOD’S “SUPER-GREEN” LAWN GRASS—Finest Bent 
Grass Mixture. A mixture to produce velvety sod of smooth 
texture even in shady places. It is a blend of certified bent 
grass, Chewing’s red fescue, poa trivialis, Kentucky blue and 
red top—all super-grade seed of the highest purity and germ¬ 
ination; no clover. Recommended for Eastern States and 
the Piedmont and Mountain regions of the South. 
WOOD’S “EVERGREEN” LAWN GRASS—For the Aver¬ 
age Lawn. Wood’s “Evergreen” Lawn Grass will form a 
rich, deep green, velvety lawn in a few weeks’ time. It is 
composed of various grasses and white Dutch clover, that 
flourish during different months of the year, so that a 
beautiful green lawn can be had all the year ’round. For 
many years the standard lawn grass for Eastern States and 
the Piedmont and Mountain sections of the South. 
..WOOD’S “DIXIE” LAWN GRASS—Ideal for the South 
It makes a velvety lawn that will stay green throughout 
the cold winter and under the most trying summer heat 
and drought. The best grass for steep terraces or to stand 
heavy tramping. It will thrive on light, sandy or infertile 
land where other grasses have failed. It will give splendid 
results in the South but is not recommended for Virginia. 
WOOD’S “WINTER GREEN” LAWN GRASS—Quick 
Growing Mixture. If the lawn has grown up in Bermuda 
or other summer grasses that die with cold weather, reseed
