Beautiful Velvety Green Grass and Bright-colored Flowers 
Miracles of God! 
All for Your Real Happiness! 
A little or big ‘‘outdoor living-room”’ like this can be yours with a littie work, patience, and Schell’s 
Quality Seeds. 
‘‘My family and I never go away from our home any more; we just love it so we want to be there. 
And, oh, how we enjoy our beautiful lawn and working our Victory Garden! It is wonderful!’’—that was 
the remark of one of our customers last summer. 
Have a beautiful lawn—don’t call it ‘‘work’’—it’s play, it’s fun, it’s healthful exercise. Treat your 
grass as a living thing, which it is,—feed it, trim it carefully, patch up its “‘sore’’ spots, remove its enemies, 
the weeds, look at it, ‘‘talk’’ to it, admire it, love it, stay with it. It is the perfect place for all the family to 
play, to rest, for fellowship and to breathe in God’s rich, pure, refreshing air! 
Schell’s Quality Lawn Grass Seed 
is the highest quality Lawn Seed obtainable, made under our 
own formulas of the very fanciest, purest, cleanest grades of 
grasses, of the highest possible germination. Thousands of the 
most beautiful lawns here and throughout Pennsylvania and 
elsewhere are the result of sowing Schell’s Quality Lawn Grass 
Seed. Do not allow yourself to be persuaded to buy cheap 
seed for it will mean reseeding, loss of time and work. To be 
sure of success and have a rich velvety carpet of beautiful 
green, always sow Schell’s Quality Lawn Grass Seed. 
To Have a Good Lawn.—Prepare the soil well, work it up 
as fine as possible, then scatter over and rake in your fertilizer. 
Now sow the seed, beginning at one end and work back, raking 
the soil fine and even just before sowing the seed. Do not rake 
after sowing, but press the seed lightly into the soil by rolling 
or tamping. Sow the seed very evenly. 
“Drying out”’’ is fatal. Keep the newly sown lawn moder- 
ately moist by light, mist-like sprinkling or by covering with 
cloth or burlap until the grass is through the soil. Allowing it 
to dry out, just when the seed has started to germinate, is 
fatal to the seed, and it cannot germinate a second time; it must 
be re-sown. Avoid too severe watering which packs the soil. 
For new lawns sow 1 pound to each 100 square feet, 
that is, 10 feet long and 10 feet wide. (For renewing old lawns, 
sow half this quantity.) Sow 200 pounds to the acre.
