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 one pound to each 200 square feet of new lawn; 
reseeding 350 square feet of old lawn. Y2 Ib. 40c; Ib. 75e; 
2 Ibs. $1.45; 3 Ibs. $2.10; 5 Ibs. $3.35; 10 Ibs. $6.50; 25 Ibs.

This May Help You Grow Grass Under Trees 
Most times it’s not the shade that makes it hard to grow 
grass under trees but masses of fine roots just under the sur- 
face, that take food and water from the grass. Here are two 
ways to correct this. Cover area with bone meal, 10 Ibs. to 50 
sq. ft. Cover with 2 inches of peat moss. Dig deeply with long 
bladed spade (not a spading fork). Take out all roots. Rake 
smoothly. Sow Shady Nook 1 Ib. to 200 sq. ft. 
When there is some grass and you don’t want to dig it up, 
take a long, sharp-bladed spade and make a series of con- 
necting cuts in circles, three feet apart, and starting as close 
to the trunk of the tree as possible. These circles of connecting 
deep cuts kill the surface roots and allow the grass to thrive. 
Spread bone meal 10 Ibs. to 100 sq. ft. Rake thoroughly. Sow 
Shady Nook Grass Seed 1 Ib. to 400 sq. ft. Cover with 1% inch 
wet peat moss.

Country Club Bent Formula 
Makes a Lawn Like a ‘’Putting Green” 
To meet the demand for a superior grass seed mixtute, we 
ae 
produce the finest leaf blades, but varieties that creep, mat to- 
gether and make a soft, luxuriant, evergreen turf the entire 
season. When preparing the soil for this Grass Seed Mixture, 
do so thoroughly. Spade deeply, working into the soil a good 
plant food and enough peat moss to make the soil friable and 
so it will retain moisture. Feed Bent Grass lawns twice a year 
with a fertilizer that will keep the soil slightly acid. Water 
regularly. Keep the grass cut short and rolled. Top dress twice 
a year. Sow | Ib. to 250 sq. ft. A Bent lawn is very lovely, but 
it must have careful attention to keep it so. Y2 Ib. 50c; Ib.

Stadium Mixture 
Stadium Mixture was used in building the athletic field of the 
University of Rochester and the results have been very satis- 
factory. This mixture is made to give the thick, springy turf so 
necessary to the well being of the athletes. It was also used in 
the Red Wing Baseball Park in Rochester, where the seed was 
sown in April and played on by the middle of May. This mix- — 
ture is a combination of grasses that are not only fine-leaved, 
but very deep rooting and are varieties that will stand the wear 
and tear usually given to athletic fields and parks. Sow one 
pound to 250 square feet; half this amount when reseeding. 
2 Ibs. $1.45; 5 Ibs. $3.35; 10 Ibs. $6.50; 25 Ibs. $15.75; 
50 Ibs. $30.50; 100 Ibs. $60.00. Delivered transportation paid.

soms. Particularly useful on very light and sandy soils, especiafly 
where lawns are to be built at the lake or seashore. Mix 1 pound of 
seed with 2 quarts of sand to insure even distribution. One pound 
will sow 1000 square feet. Oz. 15¢; 4 Ib. 40c; 1/2 Ib. 65c; Ib. $1.10; 
5 Ibs. or more at 95c per Ib. Delivered transportation paid. 
When you buy Grass Seed for your lawn be very particular as to its 
quality. Look at the analysis statement printed or stamped on the — : 
container itself or on a tag attached, Make sure that the grasses 
that have been put into the mixture are permanent lawn-making — 
grasses of high quality. See how many weed seeds and how much 
inert or dead matter is in each pound. Avoid mixtures containing 
Timothy and Rye Grass. If you are in doubt contact your State 
Experiment Station or Agricultural College. Cheap lawn grass seed 
is very expensive.
