Our Special Superb 
Lawn Mixture 
We are justly proud of this special 
mixture of lawn seed. There are hun- 
dreds of home owners in the Northwest 
proud of their lawns after planting this 
mixture. It is composed of the three 
best grasses of the highest grade ob- 
tainable, which make a very smooth, 
green velvety lawn free from common 
grasses that are inclined to make a 
lumpy lawn. This seed is sure to pro- 
duce the best results under average 
good soil conditions. One pound will 
cover a plot 10 by 20 feet (200 square 
feet). For this high quality seed the 
price is very low. 
Field Seeds and Other Grasses 
Many field and grass seeds are a very 
short crop and some are not obtainable. 
However, we expect to have a fair 
amount of the most needed varieties 
such as clovers, rye, vetch, millets, rape 
and pasture mixtures. When in need of 
any variety of grass or field seeds, see 
us first and if possible we will secure it 
for you at the lowest market prices. 
If You are Going to Make a ~ 
Lawn. 
Spade the ground as deeply as possi- 
ble and turn it several times, each time 
incorporating some good plant food 
along with a good amount of sheep 
guano and peat moss or other humus- 
building element. Rake it level and 
water well to sprout any seeds that may 
be there. Remember, a good lawn can- 
not be built in a day, and a lawn should 
be prepared in such a way that it will 
last for many years. Plenty of humus 
and good rich soil are essential. After 
the weeds have been removed, roll it 
level and scratch the surface before 
seeding. Sow the seed to make a thor- 
ough covering, scattering a light coating: 
of sifted soil or sand over the seed and 
roll again. Keep it moist at all times, as 
new lawns should never be allowed to 
dry out. After you have cut your new 

lawn a couple of times, a light dressing 
of commercial fertilizer (well watered 
in) will be a big help. After your lawn 
is well established, give it a good feed- 
ing at least twice a year. 
The consistent use of humus will 
make any soil produce abundantly.
