Simple Instructions in Planting Perfection Brand Grass Seed 
In planting Bermuda or other small grass seeds it is best to have the land 
thoroughly cleaned and firm before planting. The seeds of grasses are so extremely 
small as to be able to come up through only a thin layer of soil. The covering of 
the seeds can scarcely be too shallow. The seeds may then be scattered over the 
land by hand, or by using a small hand seeder, such as is listed in this catalog. 
After sowing, a hand rake should be used, which will mix the seeds with the soil 
so they will be slightly covered, then keep ground wet by thorough sprinkling, 
until the grass comes up to a sufficient stand. 

Enjoy the Charm of a Beautiful Lawn 
This year millions of new gardens will be made...a natural follow-up to the big 
building and remodeling program undertaken last year. We are prepared to guide and 
counsel inexperienced gardeners anJ will be glad to serve them with highest quality plants, 
seeds, and equipment. 
Because undernourishment is one of the most common reasons for poor results with 
lawns, flowers, shrubs, and trees, we recommend regular feeding with Vigoro, the square 
meal for all plants.

Most plant experts consider manure more harmful than good for lawns. Large quan- 
tities of noxious weed seeds are broadcast in this way, and the lawn is an unsightly mess 
for months after the first application. Use a complete plant food instead. 

Hydrated Lime 
An occasional application of Hydrated Lime on the lawn will correct acidity in the 
soil. Acid soils are usually caused by constant sprinkling and very often in shaded places 
of the lawn will be found a surface growth of green moss. Hydrated lime will correct this 
by simply being applied on the surface and sprinkled. It loosens up heavy soils and pre- 
vents packing, baking and cracking. It promotes the normal decay of organic matter in 
the soil. It requires about one-half as much Hydrated Lime as any other form of lime to 
produce same results. Price for 10-lb. pkg., 20c each; 40-lb. bags, 45c.

if sown before the weather and ground have become warm. Lb., 60c, postpaid.

Don’t let spring get too far advanced before reseed- 
ing the bare spots in the lawn, and applying plant 
food. 
Early morning Is the best time to sprinkle the lawn. 
A thorough wetting is best; it promotes deep, healthy 
roots in contrast to the shallow root system of grass 
lightly sprinkled.
