Professional Gardening Equipment and Materials

These products we have found to give the best results after years of 
experimenting and actual use in our landscape business—where all 
that counts is results! 
The products never vary from one season to another, regardless of 
fluctuation in prices of the various ingredients. They are not made to 
sell at a ‘price.’ The price of the completed product may vary from 
time to time, but the formulas—which have been proved to be the best— 
remain constant. 
You may be sure of getting the best results by using these same high 
quality materials that we use in our guaranteed landscape work. 
Nelson’s Special Sunny Lawn Grass Seed 
For a thick, luxuriant, permanent lawn, this is the 
seed to use. For over 80 years we have been building 
lawns under all types of soil and climatic conditions 
throughout the Middle West. This seed formula is the 
one we use and have found to be the best for lawns 
that get an adequate amount of sunshine. It is com- 
ae of cure seeds of the highest germination obtain- 
able. 
Nelson’s Shady Lawn Mixture 
Composed of varieties of seeds best adapted to grow in 
shade. The same high quality, and the same care in 
working out and testing this formula as was used in 
our Sunny Grass Seed. 
Nelson’s Lawn and Garden Fertilizer 
6-12-46 %nitrogen, 12% phosphoric acid, and 4% 
potash. Use this fertilizer when building new lawns. 
Established lawns should be fertilized at least once a 
year to keep them healthy and luxuriant. A well fed 
lawn develops a strong root system that resists disease 
and drought, and develops a thick turf that helps to keep 
weeds out. For new lawns apply at the rate of 40 lbs. 
per 1,000 square feet; for established lawns apply at the 
tate of 20 lbs. per 1,000 square fet.

Nelson’‘s Special Tree Food 
10-8-6-—10% nitrogen, 8% phosphoric acid, and 6% 
potash. Not to be confused with inorganic fertilizers 
made to sell at a “price.” This formula is a combina- 
tion of organic as well as inorganic materials, and is the 
result of years of experimentation and tests by our Tree 
Department experts. A periodic feeding of your trees 
will keep them healthy, give them more abundant foliage, 
richer color, and promote faster growth. 
Peat Moss 
Valuable as a root stimulant. When mixed with the 
soil around the roots of plants, it prevents the soil from 
caking, and has enormous moisture holding capacity. 
Used as a mulch, it looks neat and is clean and odor- 
less. Sold in 20-bushel bales. 
Professional Tools 
At our Nursery Sales Grounds we have available for 
sale the same models and brands of garden tools used 
by our landscape construction, and tree crews. For the 
home owner who does his own work, these tools are 
ideal. Here you may make your own selection of garden 
tools, with the assurance that you are getting practical 
tools that will last for years. 
In addition, we carry a full line of spray materials, also 
bird baths, pottery and garden furniture.
