Lawn Seed 
There are only a very few kinds of grasses 
suitable for lawns. Seeds of these fine kinds 
are much more expensive than the seeds of 
other less desirable grasses, most of which 
make good hay, but do not make good 
lawns. The cheap seeds will often grow and 
cover the ground with green, but eventually 
the lawn will deteriorate and have to be 
re-made, which is a very expensive and 
troublesome thing to do. 
The Best Results are obtained by sowing 
the seed quite thickly, one pound or quart 
to 200 or 300 square feet, but sowing one 
pound on 400 to 500 square feet will make 
an excellent lawn although not quite as 
quickly. 
To Renew Old Lawns. Rake thoroughly, 
stirring the ground as much as possible 
without killing the grass. All moss and 
weeds should be removed as far as pos¬ 
sible. Sow half as much grass seed as rec¬ 
ommended for seeding a new lawn. After 
seeding, the lawn should be rolled.

CEMETERY The locations of many of the cemeteries with which 
we are familiar, have been selected due particularly 
fVll^ I UKt to the fact that the soil is well drained and quite 
often we find a sand or gravel top soil. This mix¬ 
ture is intended for such places, as we have selected the varieties of 
grasses which are best adapted to such soils. Price, lb., 50c; 5 lbs.,

BANK and TERRACE We have had so many calls for a 
1^*1 IP p mixture of grass seed to be used on 
*VilA I UKt a bank or terrace, that we offer a 
mixture for this purpose. It is mixed 
from grasses which naturally grow a strong, creeping root and are very 
valuable in holding the soil in place, preventing serious washouts 
during heavy rains. The seed starts quickly. Price, lb., 55c; 2 lbs.,
