1. Spade to a depth of at least six inches and pul¬ 
verize thoroughly. 
2. Apply Vigoro at the rate of four pounds per 100 
square feet. This assures an ample supply of all 
of the elements plants must get from the soil. 
3. Work the Vigoro into the soil with a rake. Wait one 
day before seeding. 
4. Sow our grass seed at the rate of four to five 
pounds per 1,000 square feet. If you sow by hand, 
sow half lengthwise and half crosswise. 
5. Roll to imbed seed and insure perfect contact 
between seed and soil. A tamper or wide board 
can be used on small areas when a roller is not 
available. 
6 . Water thoroughly, using a very fine spray. Con¬ 
tinue to water daily until seed germination is com¬ 
plete—three to four weeks—then water as needed 
but always water thoroughly. Light sprinkling en¬ 
courages shallow roots. 
The High Cost of Low Cost 
The above picture was taken of a sample of seed 
purchased at a low cost. An analysis made by the 
Massachusetts Agricultural College showed that the good 
seed present in this mixture actually cost $2.67 per pound. 
Don't be misled by false economy. It's most economical 
to buy quality products.

Hormonized 
Science a few years ago demonstrated the value of 
Plant Hormones in establishing root growth. Florists all 
adopted the procedure of treating cuttings with hormon- 
izing liquids. Seedsmen soon saw the possibilities and 
treated grass seed with hormone powders. The results 
were astounding. Quicker germination and heavier 
turfs resulted. Millions saw the dramatic results in the 
lawns at the New York World Fair—marveled that new 
planted lawns could develop such wonderful turfs. 
Every pound of X-L grass seed is hormonized—at no 
extra cost. This means added assurance of getting a good 
lawn when you seed X-L Grass Seed. 
X'L Mixed 
Lawn Grass 
(HORMONIZED) 
For a close, heavy turf of permanent grasses, sow X-L 
Lawn Grass according to our directions. Composed of 
heavy, plump seeds of deep rooted perennials that 
withstand winter killing and summer heat. This mixture 
contains White Dutch Clover and quick growing grasses 
to serve as a cover crop. Absolutely no timothy, orchard, 
or other coarse grasses usually included in lawn mix¬ 
tures. Thorough seiving coupled with air washing elim¬ 
inates chaff, inert matter and weeds. Per lb., 65c; 5 lbs., 
$3.00; 10 lbs., $5.70; 25 lbs., $13.75. Add postage. 
ECONOMY LAWN MIXTURE 
(NOT HORMONIZED) 
Clean, quick growing grasses. No coarse grasses such 
as timothy, meadow fescue, etc. No inert matter or 
weeds. Lawns planted with this mix ure will produce 
good turfs but will not withstand trampling nor be as 
permanent as our X-L Mixture. 1 lb., 45c; 5 lbs., $2.15; 
10 lbs., $4.00; 25 lbs., $9.50. 
X-L SHADY NOOK LAWN GRASSES

get a stand with regular grass mixtures due to excessive 
shade. 1 lb., 75c; 5 lbs., $3.50. Add postage. 
X-L REGISTERED CREEPING BENT 
To guard against adulteration of Bent grasses with 
Red Top (the seeds are scarcely distinguishable) pur¬ 
chase only registered seed. Bent Grass forms a heavy 
turf that is impregnable to weeds and wear. Requires 
frequent cutting and feeding with ammonium sulphate. 
1 lb., $1.00; 2 lbs., $1.90; 5 lbs., $4.50. Add postage. 
X-L KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS
