DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING LAWNS 
The seed bed should be spaded or plowed to a depth of 6 or 7 in. All lumps should be broken up. 
the surface smoothed with rake or plank and well firmed. Sow evenly on a quiet day, rake in well and 
roll if possible. Use seed at the rate of 1 lb. per 200 square ft. If possible wa.ter thoroughly at once. 
Good loam soil is best, for the finest lawn black dirt may be spread several inches thick but a good 
turf of the hardier varieties does not require it. 
Our Emerald Mixture should be used for the best lawns where water is available. 
Red Top and Chewings Fescue are adapted to shady spots. 
For a little harder conditions but where some watering is possible, use oUr Dakota Mixture. 
For a good looking dry land lawn, farm yard or large public grounds use Buffalo Grass Stolons or 
Fairway Crested Wheat Grass. 
Do not permit the watered lawn to dry out at all until the grass 
is well up. 
Fertilize from year to year as indicated by the condition of the 
lawn. 
We shall be glad to give ad¬ 
vice and make up special mix¬ 
tures for airports, parks, pub¬ 
lic school grounds, football 
fields, etc.

BUFFALO GRASS 
PLANTS 
This native grass is undoubt¬ 
edly the most perfect lawn grass 
for dry conditions in existence. 
It spreads by means of runners, 
throws up no tall stalks, but 
produces a dense mat on the 
ground-—the bent grass of the 
plains. We list this grass by the 
100 rooted plants which re¬ 
semble strawberry plants and 
are handled in just the same 
way. The seed is very hard to 
collect and can be obtained only 
in very limited amoimts. The 
plants are set out from 6 to 15 
inches apart each way. In one 
season the whole area should fill 
in. Needs practically no mow¬ 
ing. Per 100 plants postpaid, 
65c (enough for 140 sq. ft.) ; 
500, $3.00; F. O. B. here, 1000, 
$5.00. Seed, oz. postpaid, 50c.
