CHINESE HEDGEWOOD 
(DWARF ULMUS PUMILA) 
Extra Hardy, Fast Growing, Good 
Looking, Low Priced 
A great favorite all over the country. It grows 
extremely fast, is completely hardy, and makes a very 
compact as well as fine looking hedge. Thick 
branches are densely covered with artistic, fine 
leaves from early spring until late fall. The more 
you shear it the denser it grows. Close pruning will 
maintain a beautiful 3-4 ft. hedge, or is especially 
suitable for 6-10 ft. screens and background hedges 
Plant 1 foot apart; set the plants deeply and cut the 
tops back close to the ground.

For a big lawn or for a small yard, be sure to sow only high quality, high germinating lawn grass seed! It is much 
cheaper in the final results—a few cents saved in the initial purchase price may mean a costly saving. Ferris’ Lawn 
Grass Seed is of the highest quality and has been giving beautiful lawns in all parts of the country. None of our 
grass seed contains any timothy. 
NORTHERN GREEN. Our best all around mixture of 
lawn grass seed, carefully blended from the various grasses 
that will produce those fine green lawns, and containing the 
tight percentage of White Dutch Clover. 
For a new lawn or for patching up bare spots in an estab- 
lished lawn, we consider Ferris’ Northern Green the best grass 
mixture to plant, regardless of price. Sow about one pound 
to every 200 square feet. Pulverize and evenly rake the top 
soil, sow Ferris’ Northern Green Lawn Seed thinly and evenly, 
firm it well, and. in seven weeks give the lawn its first cutting! 
In watering the lawn, sprinkle it evenly and gently, so as not 
to wash away any seed and thus create bare spots. Contains 
no timothy. 
If your lawn is not entirely satisfactory, try some of Ferris’ 
Northern Green Lawn Seed this year. Lh., 48¢; 2 Ibs., 88c; 
5 Ibs.. $2.00. (Postage extra.) 

NU-LIFE. An economically priced lawn grass mixture con- 
taining only high grade seeds, but without the White Dutch 
Clover. Does not contain any timothy. Carefully blended and 
rapidly produces a beautiful, velvety lawn. Very popular and 
deservedly so! Sow one pound to 200 square feet. Lb., 40c; 
2 Ibs., 75c; 5 Ibs., $1.75. (Postage extra.) 
SHADY PLACE. For shaded locations, sow Ferris’ Shady 
Place Lawn Grass Mixture! Shady places on the lawn, or 
lawns entirely shaded, require special grasses and in this 
mixture we offer a blend of the various fine leaved grasses 
that have been most valuable in producing a beautiful lawn 
in shade and part shade. Sow one pound to 150 square feet. 
Contains no timothy. Lb., 55¢; 2 Ibs., $1.00; 5 Ibs., 
$2.25. (Postage extra.) ; 

Dig one side of the trench straight and plant 
against it to get a straight hedge. 
Dig trench twelve inches deep or more, to receive 
the roots without crowding, and set the plants deep 
enough so that the lower branches will be slightly 
covered with the earth when filled in. Pack good 
garden soil firmly around the roots, leaving a thin 
layer of loose earth at the surface to prevent baking. 
Prune tops severely to insure compact and even 




































growth.
