Mr. J. W. Johnston, Horticultural Editor of the Herald Tribune, states, “If one single piece of advice were asked as to how to win a garden 
competition prize, the answer would be, ‘First get a good lawn.’ ” Here is an excellent Staigreen Lawn. 
LAWN SEED 
Best on Earth Since 1912 
STAIGREEN is a modern seed mixture that makes a good lawn. In it are fine, strong, and permanent varieties, of high purity 
and high germination; all are as free from seeds of harmful weeds as modern machinery can make them. STAIGREEN contains no 
crab-grass (guaranteed). 
The time-tested STAIGREEN formula is the result of years of experimenting and practical sowing on all types of soil. With it> 
many of the best lawns in the northern United States have been built. Under favorable conditions it will produce a deep-rooted turf, 
luxuriant, thick, and rich emerald green, from early spring to early winter. 
Chewing’s Fescue is an important 
ingredient in the Staigreen formula. 
Being deep-rooted, and a robust 
grower in the heat of summer, it im¬ 
parts to Staigreen a definite resistance 
to chinch-bug injury, drought, and 
summer scald. 
Autumn-Made Lawns Are Best 
Fall is also the most favorable time for renovating. 
Seed sown from August 15 to October 15 invariably 
grows well; thicker turf develops quickly under the 
influence of autumn rains and cool nights. You will 
have fewer weeds.

HOW TO MAKE A GOOD LAWN 
Dig 4 to 6 inches deep, but do not bring subsoil to the surface; add extra soil to poor land. 
Broadcast *Sawconure at the rate of 50 to 150 pounds per 1000 square feet, or *EmeraId 
Grass Fertilizer at 50 pounds per 1000 square feet. Better still, apply both these materials. 
Rake smooth and sow Staigreen or other grass seeds. For average lawns you need 5 pounds 
of seed for each 1000 square feet, but sow 10 pounds of Terrace Sod Formula on this area, 
and only pounds of Bent, if either of these seeds is selected. Rake very lightly. 
Best season for lawn-making is late summer and fall. Winter seeding, even on snow, 
is practical. Lawns made in late spring and summer usually need renovating in the fall.

These amounts will give satisfactory results under 
average conditions, but if time is not important, and if 
your soil is good and rich, they may be reduced. 
They are sometimes doubled by experienced turf- 
makers, especially on sloping land.
