SPRINGFIELD SEED COMPANY, SPRINGFIELD, MO. 23 
OUR SUPERIOR MIXED LAWN GRASS 
TO MAKE A LAWN 

Remember when making a lawn that it is to last for years, and be an ornament to the home, so give plenty of time 
and care to preparation before the seeds are sown. Several weeks before sowing dig the soil deeply, break up the lumps, 
apply our Premier Horticultural Peat Moss and a lawn fertilizer such as VIGORO and rake the top soil; at intervals of 
ten days or two weeks rake the surface to destroy the weeds, and before sowing have the surface as fine as a rake will 
make it. Sow half the seeds, then sow the other half at right angles to the first sowing—this gives an even distribution. 
After sowing rake slightly so as not to cover the seeds too deep—covering with a roller is better—small seeds cannot 
germinate if planted too deep, an eighth of an inch is about right. Do not put stable manure on your lawn, as it adds to 
the many weeds already in the soil, and if not well broken up the lumps of manure will smother your grass. 
Start the lawn as early as possible to give the grass a chance to become well established before the spring growth 
of weeds.

WEED KILLER 
KILLS NOXIOUS WEEDS AND GRASSES AND 
FERTILIZES LAWN AT ONE TREATMENT 
Recent experiments with Nitrogenous Salts prove that 
noxious grasses and weeds such as Chick Weeds, Dande- 
lions, and other weeds, which ruin good lawns, may be 
killed with WEED KILLER, which then fertilizes the 
soil for grasses of a desirable nature, such as Blue Grass, 
Red Top, etc. 
Will not harm Blue Grass and desirable lawn grasses, 
in the quantities we recommend. 
DIRECTIONS: Mix one (1) pound of WEED KILLER 
to one gallon water. Sprinkle over 250 sq. ft. of lawn. 
Use this proportion up until March 15th. After March 
15th, sprinkle the above mixture over 600 sq. ft. We rec- 
ommend four to six applications in the spring at intervals 
of about a week apart. It is a gradual program and not 
an overnight cure.

VIGORO supplies just what is needed to produce a beautiful 
lawn, flowers, shrubbery and trees. It is a highly concentrated 
plant food, and must be applied according to instructions. 
Excessive applications, or too much applied in one spot, is not 
only wasteful but will ‘‘burn’’ the plants.
