WHEELER’S Special Grass Seed Mixtures 
The Formation of Velvety La^ns 
The main point in having a beautiful lawn is to start right. In the first place, see that the ground is thoroughly 
drained and well prepared with 6 to 12 inches of good soil for the top dressing. The best soil is a good medium 
texture, neither very heavy nor excessively light. Have all roots, loose stones and lumps of earth removed, and the 
surface raked down perfectly smooth previous to sowing. Early Spring or Fall is the best time to sow the seed. 
When the soil is in the proper condition, level, and suitably moist, sow our seeds at the rate of 6 to 7 bushels per 
acre, after which rake lightl}^ and give a thorough rolling. One pound of seed will sow a plot of about 200 square 
feet. When the grass has become sufficiently established it should be frequently cut. The oftener this is done the 
finer and softer the grass will be. 
WHEELER'S “PARK CITY” 
The “PARK CITY’’ is a superb mixture, and we offer it with the fullest confidence of its superior quality. 
We have taken great care in the preparation of this mixture, and believe we have succeeded in producing a com¬ 
bination of grasses that will grow and establish a fine lawn under all conditions except utter neglect. We cheerfully 
recommend it to all who desire a first class lawn.

shrubbery, and in the shade of buildings can be easily 
overcome by the use of “Wheeler’s Shady Lawn Grass

watered and supplied with plant food regularly to
