Commercial Lawn Grass Mixtures are many; and their composition varies materially to meet the price minimums of pros- 
YASS Seed 
These are too often overloaded with fast growing, quick-effect but short-lived varieties, which at the sea- 
son’s end leave your lawn spotty, weedy and unsatisfactory. We have never tried to compete with the “cheap” offers, either 
in mixture or in the varying grades of seed units. 
We pay for fancy selection, highest test and maximum purity. Our mixtures 
are well balanced, so that there is a generous proportion of one base or permanent grass, with a fixed formula for proportions 
of certain other types which influence the perfect expression of a lawn throughout the entire season. 
S. & H. LAWN GRASS MIXTURES

Grasses, including Colonial Bent, that will produce a neat, 
velvety lawn and permanent sod in a short time. This mix- 
ture is composed of Kentucky Bluegrass, Colonial Bent, Per- 
ennial Ryegrass and Fancy Red Top. 
Shady Lawn. A blend of special Grasses for areas receiving 
sunshine less than half the day. It produces turf which har- 
monizes with that produced from New Velvet Sod Seed. For 
slightly shaded lawns use equal parts of New Velvet Sod 
Seed and Shady Lawn. This mixture is composed of Chew- 
ings Fescue, Kentucky Bluegrass, Fancy Red Top, and Peren- 
nial Ryegrass. Weight about 25 Ibs. to the bushel. 1 Ib.

HOW TO MAKE A LAWN 
The successful keeping as well as making of a beautiful 
lawn lies most largely in the thorough preparation before a seed 
is sown. If there is spading to be done, the top soil to the depth 
of 6 to 8 inches should first be removed, to finish with after 
the grade is complete. 
This should be thoroughly harrowed and raked to reduce 
te as fine a.condition as possible, as well as to level it, as 
nothing detracts so much from the appearance of a lawn as 
an uneven surface. Sow the seed as early in the spring as 
convenient, the earlier the better if the soil is in good con- 
dition, scattering it in both directions at right angles to each 
other, which will give a more even distribution. After the seed 
has been sown it should be raked lightly, then thoroughly rolled. 
No one kind of grass will make a lawn that will keep green 
al! through the season, but a mixture of several is essential. 
Our Velvet Sod Mixture is such a scientifically arranged com- 
bination, giving quick, sure and satisfying results unsurpassed 
by any general lawn mixture on the market.
