and act as a fertilizer to the existing grass. Sow from September to

On many lawns there are unsightly, bare spots under trees, and be¬ 
tween adjoining houses where it is impossible to get the ordinary lawn 
grass to grow. This mixture is made up of short growing, fine leaved 
grasses that will give you an evergreen sod in the most densely shaded 
spots. Often the soil is sour. Before planting use 50 lbs. lime to 100 
square feet. Lb., 40c; 10 lbs., $3.00. 
Red Top 
(Fancy)—(Agrostic vulgaris)

expended on the lawn. The leaf-blades are narrow, becoming very thin 
with turf cultivation. It gains maximum development in early fall. Suc¬ 
ceeds in all soils. Lb., 40c; 10 lbs., $3.00, postpaid.

How to Make a Lawn 
Fill in your plot with good soil, rake evenly, and to ovoid foreign 
weeds and grasses water well before planting. When the weeds and 
grasses appear spade them under and again rake evenly. Much labor 
will be saved and you will have the assurance of a perfectly pure 
Bermuda Grass Lawn. After the above instructions have been followed, 
mix Bermuda Grass Seed in a water bucket of sand to assure even dis¬ 
tribution—one pound to a space 20x50 and sow. Chop seeds in with 
rake and water each day for a period of ten days in warm weather. 
Winter Lawn 
Staffel's English Rye will grow in shady places where Bermuda will 
not succeed. Spade your ground thoroughly and apply Fertilizer, 25 
pounds. Commercial 6-12-6 to a space 25x30 feet and add 1 bale Peat 
Moss. Sprinkle your English Rye at the rate of 8 pounds to 50x100 feet.

If one desires a pretty green lawn to replace the dead looking Ber¬ 
muda Grass, plant Staffel's English Rye over the Bermuda in October. 
The following late spring the English Rye will die, the Bermuda Grass 
taking its place. English Rye will not harm Bermuda Grass.
