Fall Is Best Time to Make a Lawn 
The cool moist weather during the fall months is ideal for making new lawns or re- 
seeding old ones. The seed germinates quickly, the grass seedlings get a sturdy growth 
and then the turf improves very rapidly when spring comes. Fall sown grass seed crowds 
out weeds and makes a turf that will withstand summer drought better. 
HIGHLAND PARK 
GRASS SEED 
99.90% Weed Free 
This mixture has proved its worth by 
producing beautiful and permanent lawns 
for the city home, country estate, and 
public park. It is a careful blending of 
outstanding recleaned turf-making grasses 
including bent grass and the famous Eng- 
lish clover. It will make a thick, deep- 
rooted, velvety evergreen sod that will hold 
the moisture and remain fresh and green 
during the dry season in summer. This is 
our most popular Grass Seed Mixture. It 
has proved its quality not only on the 
smaller lawn of the city and suburban 
home, but has been and is being used with 
splendid results in many of the city parks, 
cemeteries, and large estates. Professional 
landscape gardeners specify that they will 
use Highland Park Grass Seed when sub- 
mitting plans to particular patrons. The 
name “Highland Park” is a symbol of qual- 
ity. Sow at rate of 1 Ib. to each 250 square 
feet of new lawn, reseeding 500 square 
feet of old lawn.

Many people prefer a lawn without 
clover in it. For those who do, we omit 
the clover from our Highland Park Mix- 
ture, adding more Bent Grass. Just order 
Highland Park without Clover. Same high 
quality, same price. 
SHADY NOOK 
LAWN MIXTURE 
On many lawns there are unsightly bare 
spots under trees and between adjoining 
houses where it is impossible to get the 
ordinary lawn grass to grow. Our mixture 
for shade is made up of short-growing, 
fine-leaved, shade-loving grasses that will 
give you an evergreen sod in the most 
densely shaded spots. Sow at rate of | 
pound to each 200 square feet of new 
lawn; reseeding 350 square feet of old 
lawn.

TERRACE GRASS MIXTURE 
Banks and terraces need deep-rooting, 
very hardy grasses to hold them in place. 
In this special mixture we have combined 
varieties that will quickly form a_ thick, 
matted sod that will keep the bank from 
washing in heavy rains, and remain fresh 
and green all season. We recommend 
sowing grass seed for terraces at the rate 
of 1 pound to each 200 square feet. If 
the slope is very steep, mix 1 quart of oats 
with 1 pound of seed and sow on each 100 
square feet.

Hints That 
Help Make Good Lawns 
A little good grass seed sown spring and 
fall, 1 pound to 400 square feet, will keep 
the weeds out. Grass under trees needs 
double the food and water that sunny 
lawns do. Mow your lawn often with the 
mower set so that it leaves the grass an 
inch long, especially during hot weather. 
bale 
Peat moss spread on the lawn, 1 
(18 bus.) to 1000 square feet, keeps grass 
green all season. Don’t “sprinkle’’ your 
lawn every night. Soak it twice a week. 
Get the moisture down where the roots will 
go down after it and make a thick turf. 
TWO GOOD WINTER 
MULCHES 
For Your Lawn and Garden 
PEAT MOSS 
Fine for mulching the rose and perennial 
bed. Retains moisture, keeps the earth from 
drying and cracking, breaks up clay, and binds 
together sandy soils. Spread over and raked 
into the grass, it holds moisture and keeps the 
lawn green throughout the summer. Use it 
freely. 
10-bu. carton, $2.95; 18-bu. bale, $4.75 
TOBACCO STEMS 
Shredded tobacco leaves and stems that 
make a wonderful mulch and top-dressing for 
lawns and gardens. Retains moisture, feeds 
plants, drives away bugs. Spread a protecting 
layer over your rose and perennial beds.
