Slate’s Lawn Mixtures 
With a background of over seventy years’ experience, we feel that we are in position to 
make a lawn grass mixture better than anyone else. For years we have experimented with 
various grasses to find those best adapted to certain localities and the ones that will give the 
finest of velvety lawns. This research work has perfected for us two mixtures that should 
answer every purpose. We do not put any filler in our mixtures to give them bulk. They 
are made up of clean solid seed. The best grades that we can obtain, consequently Slate’s 
Lawn Mixtures may cost you a little more but they are worth it. Start the new lawn in the 
fall or early spring. Work the soil into a fine seed bed four inches deep, raking to remove 
all foreign matter and coarse litter. Level and grade it into the proper shape. Then apply 
ground limestone at the rate of two tons per acre or hydrated lime at the rate of one ton 
per acre. Next apply raw Bone Meal, Cotton Seed Meal, and a high grade of commercial 
fertilizer at the rate of one pound of each to every twenty square feet of surface. Then 
rake these into the soil with a light hand rake. After the fertilizer and lime have been thor- 
oughly incorporated with the soil, you are ready for seeding. Seed should be sowed at the 
rate of one pound to each two hundred square feet of surface. Divide the total seed into two 
lots and sow twice over the entire surface, going lengthwise once and then across. This 
double sowing eliminates bare spots that might be skipped if only one application is made. 
Then rake the lawn seed into the soil with a hand rake and roll with a lawn roller to firm 
the seed bed. When the young grass comes up, keep it watered until it gets a good start 
and be certain to cut the grass as soon as it gets tall enough to cut. Never let a new lawn 
grow wild. Keep it cut. 
2041 — SLATE’S UTILITY MIXTURE. — This 
mixture is composed of the same high grade seeds as 
our Perfection but the varieties and proportions vary 
somewhat to make it a good practical grass for large 
2040—SLATE’S PERFECTION MIXTURE.—We 
offer this as the best mixture that we can make. It 
contains only grasses that are adapted to the Pied- 
mont section and those that will give a fine velvety 
texture to your lawn. It is good in sun or shade, 
provided the shade is not so dense that growth is 
impossible. The best soil for it is a mixture of clay 
and loam. If you want the finest of lawns, sow this 
mixture at the rate of 1 lb. to each 200 sq. ft.

areas and places where the best of care cannot be 
given the lawn. It is of fine texture but hardy sorts 
that will withstand hard service. If you have a lawn 
that is too large to receive the best of care, you will 
find this a practical solution to the grass problem.

Inoculation Pays 


To get full value from legume crops the 
seed must be inoculated. When inoculated 
these crops gather rich fertilizing material 
from the air and store them in the soil. In- 
oculation now costs but little and it will

pay big dividends on the investment.
