LAWN GRASS SEED 
First class grass seed and the willingness to give the new seeding proper and sufficient care is the basis 
of a good lawn. It is far easier to keep weeds out than it is to dig them out after the lawn is up. We are 
big buyers of grass seed for our own use in landscape work and in buying from us you get the benefit of our 
experience in selecting good seed as well as low prices from quantity buying. 
The foundation of good lawn building is plenty of clean high grade Kentucky Blue Grass. White clover 
is frequently added to the extent of 5 or 10% and adds toughness. Poa trivialis is well adapted to the shade 
and a small percentage should be added to mixtures intended for such use. Redtop is a fast growing spread- 
ing grass that mixes well with Blue Grass. In large lawns where a somewhat coarser grass is acceptable, 
Perennial Rye is frequently used and will quickly give a strong lawn. Rye lawns cannot be cut very close, 
but will do well with scant water. 
Suggestions for lawn making. An inch of old barnyard manure spaded in deeply makes a first class 
lawn foundation. 
ditions, every weed seed in your ground will sprout. 
As a preliminary, clean the surface to be planted of all forms of trash and if the ground 
has been very weedy, it pays to remove an inch of the surface. 
Remember that under the new lawn con- 
Rake the ground perfectly smooth and broadcast the seed as evenly as possible. Cover with Y% inch of 
old fine manure. 
Roll and start watering. Don’t let it dry out, even though this means watering two or 
three times a day. Roll after the lawn is up high enough to cut. Most weeds that appear will be annuals 
and will disappear after a few cuttings. Pull perennial weeds as soon as they can be reached. The next win- 
ter give another light covering of old manure.
