What is more charming than a beautiful lawn! It can be had at a small cost by using Eberle’s Special Lawn 
Grass Seed. Sodding is unsatisfactory, In most respects, hence the sowing of seed. Careful experiments have 
enabled us to offer an unrivaled series of mixtures for the purposes named below, consisting of such varieties as 
will flourish under varied conditions, making a rich, deep green, soft velvety sward. 
Our Lawn Grass Seed Mixtures are composed of the highest grade of fine-leaved perennial grasses which 
will produce luxuriant and durable lawns. 
HOW TO MAKE A LAWN. The soil should be rich, well-drained, and carefully prepared, making it as fine and smooth and mellow as 
possible. Great care should be taken to use only the very best quality of surtable seed, sowing at such a time as to give the young plants 
a chance to become well rooted before being subjected to very cold or hot, dry weather. All Jawns are improved in vigor and texture by 
frequent mowing and rolling. The seed may be planted early in the spring or fall and should be sown at the rate of 150 Ibs. to the acre. If 
sown in the spring, sow as early as possible, making the surface very {tne and smooth, then raking it over and sowing the seed, covering it 
by rolling with a light roller. It may also be sown in the fall, provided it is done early enough to secure a good growth before winter sets in 
when a light dressing of manure should be given to protect the roots from severe frosts. é

EBERLE’S SHADY LAWN GRASS 
A mixture of grasses suitable for under trees or all locations that are in partial shade. This mixture is a com- 
bination of dwarf-growing, fine-leaved, hardy grasses which will thrive without much sun and make a rich green 
sward where ordinary mixtures would fail to do so. Extra fertilizing is usually required for the shady lawn as 
the spreading roots of trees and large shrubs use up the available nitrogen in the soil.
