mixture is the very finest combination of high 
quality seeds ... a marvelous mixture that 
years of experimenting has proved to be 
safe and sound. It produces a lawn that Is 
like carpet of green velvet . . . smooth, even, 
and thick. All the grasses In it are fine-bladed 
and deep-rooting. 
a deep dark green lawn of close, thick turf. 
The roots are deep, and the plants very hardy. 
Our Blue Grass is heavy, clean seed, of ex¬ 
cellent quality.

tures because of its rapid, low growth and 
creeping stems. Sometimes valuable as a 
green cover for poor ground, where grass 
does not thrive. Very hardy.

ting greens, and also fairways and tees. A 
very hardy variety that produces thick, dur¬ 
able turf, even under unfavorable conditions.

Wherever shade makes it difficult for you to obtain 
a good lawn, our special shade mixture is heartily 
recommended. We have chosen excellent quality, 
shade-enduring grasses and clovers . . . and 
blended them into a mixture that will give you 
surprising results. 
We offer you a fine mixture of sturdy, hardy grasses 
that thrive in locations exposed to the blazing sun. 
Because weed control is more difficult in sunny 
places, our special mixture contains vigorous 
grasses that will starve weeds out and help give 
you the weed-free lawn you desire. 
We have just the right grass seed for every special 
purpose. We can give you special deep-rooted 
grasses for the sloping lawn . . . the ideal grasses 
for planting on golf courses, parks, estates or ceme¬ 
teries ... or for any other special use. Just tell 
us what you want. 
FITTING THE SOIL —Use fertilizer 
to moke grass grow vigorously and 
thus crowd out and starve weeds. 
Never use lime unless actual test 
shows the lawn soil to be too acid 
for gross. If there Is any doubt as 
to the food needs of the soil, con¬ 
sult us about it. 
SOWING THE SEED— If the soil 
has been rolled or Is packed hard 
by rains, go over It again with the ' 
steel rake before sowing. The easiest 
way to sow seed on small lawns is 
to broadcast it, preferably in the 
morning of a still day. Sow plenty 
of seed, at least 3 pounds to each I 
100 square feet. After sowing, rake , 
in gently, then roll the ground light- ( 
ly to pack it down. | 
LAWNS LIKE PLENTY OF HUMUS. 
So do not remove short grass clip¬ 
pings but let them lie to decom¬ 
posure. Rotted grass clippings are 
Nature's best humus. Discard your 
grass catcher. Run the lawn mower [ 
east and west the first week and 
sv/eep with a Brume-Rake north and 
south. Next week, cut north and 
south and sweep east and west. 
This sweeping will remove the long 
clippings which might scald the 
lawn if left where they fall but, even 
more important, will work the fine 
clippings down to the roots where 
they will form a moisture-conserving 
mulch and later, when rotted, the 
finest possible humus. 5

PEAT MOSS VALUABLE— A mulch 
of sifted or weathered peat moss is ;? 
also helpful if applied in the spring, ^ 
but even more effective In the fall. 
It supplies humus, a mulch, and is ' 
also slightly acid. When you mow 
the grass, mow high and mow often. 
Th is is much better than mowing 
close and less frequently. 
KEEP THE GRASS LINE NEAT AND ' 
STRAIGHT— Noth ing is more im- ^ 
portant to the well-kept appearance f 
af the lawn than a neat, straight | 
grass line. A gaod turf edger will 
spare you considerable time and 
effort in trimming edges. 
FIGHT WEEDS— Th ere just isn't any | 
place in a well-kept, healthy lawn 
for weeds. However, they do ap- S 
pear, and the good gardener is | 
constantly watching for them. Al- I 
ways rid yaur lawn of weeds before j! 
they go to seed. If you get on the ’ 
job right after a heavy rain, many 
weeds can be pulled out by the 
hand s with the roots Intact. I

erning the success of the crop, we
