YOUR LAWN 
No one thing so adds to the interest and charm of a landscape as a well proportioned 
lawn. Once a good lawn is established, it is quite simple to add flowers and shrubs in 
pleasing combination, but without grass it is impossible to secure the restful effect so much 
desired in any scheme of planting. 
The first thing of importance in making a permanent lawn, is to have good soil that holds 
moisture well and has sufficient drainage so as not to become soggy. 
BEST QUALITY LAWN SEED 
Once the soil is well prepared, the all-important tiring is to secure a high quality lawn 
seed. One that is made up of the proper proportions of the best perennial grasses. The 
cheap lawn seeds contain mostly annual grasses. These look fine for the first season 
but disappear during the first winter, leaving your lawn thin and patchy. We do not 
handle the cheap mixtures. Remember, cheap seed means wasted efforts and a poor lawn. 
Our Sunny and Shady Mixture is made up of nearly the same formula as that used by 
the Chicago Park District. This formula has been carefully worked out by experts after 
many years of experience. 
For new lawns use 5 lbs. of seed for 1000 square feet. 
SUNNY MIXTURE 1 lb. 45c; 5 lbs. $2.20; 10 lbs. $4.00; 25 lbs. $9.50; 100 lbs. $35.00 
SHADY MIXTURE 1 lb. 55c; 5 lbs. $2.50; 10 lbs. $5.00; 25 lbs. $12.00; 100 lbs. $45.00
