CAPITAL CITY LAWN GRASS SEED 
We take great pride in the quality of our Lawn Grass Seed and steadily increas- 
ing sales show that this quality is appreciated. To prepare a good lawn you must 
have seed of the proper kind and use plenty of it; you cannot produce a fine and 
beautiful lawn with ordinary hay seed. Next in importance is the proper prepara- 
tion of the soil. Spade or plow it deeply, fertilize freely, and make it fine, free 
from clods and perfectly level, avoiding uneven places. 
When To Sow. Plant carly in spring or fall at the rate of 150 pounds to the acre. 
In the spring sow as early as possible, raking the surface of the soil very fine and 
then sowing the seed. Cover by rolling with a light roller. In the fall sow before 
the autumn rains have ceased. One pound of our mixture will sow 200 square feet. 
This is a mixture of numerous varieties selected especially to produce a fine, 
velvety turf. Some kinds are used because they spread along the surface of the 
ground and keep the lawn "knit together;’’ others are used because they thrive in 
dry weather and keep the lawn green, and still others because they thrive early 
in the spring and late in the fall. No one grass can make a good 
lawn. A scientific blending is necessary. The grasses in the Capital 
City Mixture are native hardy kinds which will not winter-kill, and 
which will produce a fine sod, under favorable conditions. In the 
Capital City Mixture there is every good grass and no bad ones. 
It is not made from a ready-made formula, but is compounded of 
species generally more expensive and more satisfactory than those 






ENGLISH-CHOICE LAWN GRASS SEED. This mixture will provide a lawn of satisfactory appearance the 
first season for those who wish to make a moderate invesiment. 1 lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 70c; 5 lbs., $1.75; 
25 lbs., $8.75. 
SHADY NOOK LAWN GRASS SEED 
It is quite difficult to obtain a satisfactory growth of grass under trees and in shady places, and we 
recommend the use of this special mixture. In extremely shady spots or under trees, a liberal application 
of lime is recommended in the fall. Apply sheep manure and sow Shady Nook Lawn seed in early spring.
