There is nothing more pleasing to the eye, that adds more beauty and value to the home, than a beautiful well-kept 
lawn. You never get tired of a good lawn and no home is complete without it. 
Since it is so important, and since it is to last for years, nothing in its construction should be slighted. By making a 
good lawn at the start, much worry, labor, and expense will be saved by the home owners afterwards.

very Quickly.

a good stand ready for the mower in 3 weeks. This mixture 
contains no trash and is adapted to either clay, sandy, or loam 
soil, and should be applied at the rate of 1 pound to 300 square 
feet, or in the case of renovating an old lawn 1 pound to 600 
square feet, depending upon how thin the grass is. Price:

Kentucky Blue Grass 
One of the most fancy grasses that we have today. Is 
largely used in lawn making and starts growing early in the 
spring, continuing until the ground freezes late in the fall. 
Price: lb., 40c; 5 lbs., $1.75, postpaid. 
This is very good seed to use in renovating old lawns, es¬ 
pecially on sandy soil,' as the plant roots deeper than any 
other variety of grass, and is not affected so much by drought. 
Price: Per lb., $1.00; 3 lbs., $2.60, postpaid. 
Shady Nook M ixture 
Have you a lawn that is shaded by trees ? If so, try a few 
pounds of our Shady Nook Grass Mixture, which is just what 
you need in order to raise a patch of fine, compact, velvety 
grass under such conditions. Shaded ground often becomes 
sour and in this case it would be necessary to give it an ap¬ 
plication of crushed limestone before seeding, applied at the 
rate of 25 pounds for 500 square feet. Seed at the rate of 1 
pound to about 250 square feet. Prices: Per lb., 55c; 5 lbs.,

Renovate Your Lawn 
If your lawn, is thin and patchy, sow our Evergreen 
Mixture at the rate of about 1 pound to every 500 
square feet and press in with a roller, applying this 
a couple of seasons, and top dress in the winter with 
well-rotted compost and your unsightly lawn can be 
made beautiful.
