PERRY’S SHADY SPOT LAWN SEED 

A Lawn Sown with Perry’s Shady Spot Lawn Seed 
PERRY’S SEASHORE LAWN GRASS MIXTURE 
Many a lawn along the New England Shore has been grown 
from this mixture 
A rich, green lawn is especially appreciated and desirable at the 
seashore, but usually conditions are decidedly unfavorable. Sandy 
soils are benefited by the addition of clayey soil, peat moss and other 
organic matter resulting from the use of Wizard Brand Cattle and 
Sheep Manures. Top soil to the depth of 4 inches should be broad- 
casted, as grass will not grow well in pure sand. The grasses used 
in our Seashore Mixture are adapted to unfavorable conditions, will 
quickly germinate in the top soil and make strong roots which will 
reach down into the sand for moisture. In order, however, to keep 
the seaside lawn in good condition it should be watered liberally 
each evening and also receive an occasional application of our steril- 
ized Sheep Manure to maintain a supply of quickly available plant 
food. Sow 1 lb. to every 250 square feet. 
Lb. 60c., 5 Ibs. $2.75, 10 Ibs. $5.25, 25 Ibs. $12.50 
PERRY’S PUTTING GREEN MIXTURE 
For an Ideal and Lasting Turf 
This is an extra fine lawn grass mixture that will produce at 
home a turf as fine as on the putting greens of golf clubs. We 
recommend it highly and suggest when sowing to prepare the soil 
and fertilize it in the usual way. In order to secure even distribu- 
tion, divide the seed and broadcast one-half each way of the lawn, 
allowing 1 lb. to every 150 to 250 square feet. 
Lb. 90c., 5 Ibs. $4.40, 10 Ibs. $8.50, 20 Ibs. $16.50, 
50 Ibs. $41.00, 100 lbs. $80.00 

There’s no better mixture for sowing on the north 
side of buildings, between houses or under shade 
trees receiving sunshine less than half the day 
Our Shady Spot Lawn Seed is blended from the 
best grasses possible to obtain for this purpose, only 
those that grow and flourish under shady conditions 
in their natural and wild state being used. It is always 
advisable for those who are seeding down shady places 
to supply new soil, if possible, especially if large trees 
are producing the shade, as their roots spread so fast as 
to quickly exhaust its nourishment. Liberal amounts of 
fertilizer are as necessary for lawns under shade trees 
as are plenty of seed and water. Trimming to allow 
more air and light is frequently helpful. 
4 Ib. 35c., lb. 60c., 5 Ibs. $2.90, 10 Ibs. $5.50, 
25 Ibs. (1 bu.) $12.50, 50 Ibs. $25.00. Ask for prices 
on larger quantities. Postpaid in New England 
at above prices when cash accompanies the order, 
up to and including 20 Ibs.

HINTS ON LAWN PREPARATION AND IMPROVEMENT 
Probably we receive more requests each season for help in lawn making and 
improvement than on any other subject connected with gardening, so we print 
the following information in hopes that it will answer many of them, though we 
recognize that practically every lawn presents an individual problem. 
Nothing can replace thorough preparation—spading deeply to loosen the soil 
well—raking to free it from refuse of all kinds and to pulverize it finely—careful 
grading—enriching sufficiently, and seeding with ample amounts of good seed. 
Deep spading improves the mechanical condition of the soil, permitting the 
tiny roots to penetrate deeply, and secure a maximum of soil food and water. 
It must be finely pulverized to make a good seed bed. Top soil (preferably a sandy 
loam) should be spread only on properly prepared sub-soil, Rake well to care- 
fully grade, and always uphill on banks and terraces. 
If the soil is known to be sour (acid), apply Land Lime to the rough grade and 
rake in before spreading either fertilizer or lawn seed. As insurance against the 
injurious grubs of June bugs and Japanese Beetles, dig in also 8 lbs, of Arsenate 
of Lead to each 1000 square feet. Broadcast at least 25 lbs. of good plant food like 
Bonemeal or 5-8-7 to each 1000 square feet, especially under trees. 
When sowing your seed, be sure you broadcast it evenly. (A Cyclone Seeder 
will save seed, time and patience on large areas). Roll, if not sticky, with a water 
weight roller to settle the seed uniformly and make the lawn smoother and more 
presentable. On small spaces simply raking will answer. We advise watering at 
night or early morning—not when the sun shines. Cut the grass frequently with 
a sharp lawn mower after it first gets about 3 inches high. 
The right kind of a lawn is luxuriant and thick and practically free from weeds. 
Where do weeds in the lawn come from? Only properly sterilized soil is entirely 
free from weed seeds. Some may come with top-soil brought in, or from composts 
not thoroughly rotted, others are carried by the wind and birds, but more are 
sown each year in impure lawn seed. To secure a maximum of good seed we urge 
you to buy only Perry’s high grade lawn mixtures. But when weeds do appear, dig 
them out promptly. Scatter in small amounts of additional seed where weeds 
have been extracted. Always keep a package of Lawn Seed on hand for this purpose. 
The first work in the Spring on established lawns is the removal of all litter that 
has collected during the Winter. With the lawn clean, fill in all hollows with good 
top soil, and scatter fresh lawn seed and fertilize as for new lawns. Then while 
the ground is still soft, roll with a water-weight roller—one that can quickly be 
made heavy or light, at will, to meet conditions. The earlier this work can be 
done, the better. A rolled lawn will be smoother and have a neater appearance 
though repeated rollings may be injurious.
