A COOL GREEN LAWN TO SOOTHE SUMMER'S HEAT 
A pretty Lawn is essential and the first requisite in beautifying the home. Bare ground about the home is comparable to a floor 
without a rug. The Lawn is a permanent improvement and should be planted with only the best quality seeds. 
NICHOLSON'S Lawn Grass Seeds are heavy in weight, thoroughly recleaned to remove foreign matter and if properly planted 
should give maximum results. 
Nicholson’s Fancy Hulled 
Bermuda Grass 
QUICK GERMINATING 
Bermuda Grass is without a doubt the one 
best grass for lawns in the South. We are 
able to offer you this wonderful grass in the 
hulled seed. This operation hastens germina- 
tion, as the hulled seed will germinate in seven 
to ten days from time of planting and has 
proved to be a boon to new home builders who 
wish to establish a new lawn in a minimum of 
time. Using seed is so much less expensive 
than sod. 
This seed should be used at the rate of five 
pounds or more to each 1,000 square feet. 
March, April and May are the best months for 
sowing. 
Liven up your old lawn or establish a new 
one with Nicholson’s Fancy Hulled Bermuda 
Grass Seed. Please write for prices on this 
item as we are not certain that it will be 
obtainable. 
NICHOLSON’S FANCY BERMUDA GRASS 
SEED (Cynodon Dactylon). Will grow on almost 
any soil, and is the finest grass to sow in 
the South for summer lawns. In order to have 
the best success in the growing of Bermuda 
Grass the seed should be planted in the 
spring or late summer, when the weather is 
warm or moist. If sown before a wet spell the 
seed will come up in a very short time after 
rain. Have the ground well prepared, then sow 
the seed broadcast. After the sowing run a 
roller over the land so as to firm the surface, 
as Bermuda Grass requires a firm seed bed. 
For lawns sow 5 to 10 pounds to every 1,000 
square feet, 20x50, mixed with dry sand before 
sowing. Price: Lb., $1.10; 2 lbs., $2.10, postpaid. 
Ask for prices in larger quantities. 
KENTUCKY BLUE (Poa Pratensis). This grass 
is used for winter lawn and shady spots in the 
South. We do not recommend it except for cer- 
tain sections where it has been proven. One 
pound will sow 10x20 feet. Extra heavy seed. 
Price: Lb., 60c; 2 lbs., $1.10, postpaid. Please ask 
for prices in larger quantities. 
CHEWING’S FESCUE (Festuca Rubra). This 
grass thrives on sandy or gravelly soil and 
must be shaded or watered consistently through 
the warm months. One pound will sow 200 
square feet. Price: Lb., $1.10; 2 lbs., $2.00, post- 
paid. Please ask for prices in larger lots. 
POA TRIVIALIS (Bird Grass). An excellent 
grass to sow under heavy trees or in spots too 
shady for other grasses to thrive. One pound 
wili sow 10x20 feet. Imported item. Unable to 
supply at present. 
CARPET GRASS (Axonopus Compressus). Car- 
pet Grass is very satisfactory for planting in 
shaded spots, under trees, etc., where Bermuda 
will not grow. It is used extensively in South 
Texas and other Gulf Coast sections for general 
lawn purposes. It is a perennial creeping grass 
that forms a close compact turf, has a broad 
leaf and rather heavy stem and grows well on 
iand short in lime. This grass is worthy of a 
trial in shaded spots where you have not been 
successful in growing other grasses as it seems 
to require less plant food than other grasses. 
Price: Lb., 65c; 2 lbs., $1.20, postpaid. Please

Pulverized and Sterilized Sheep Manure. Sow 
the grass seeds and rake them in lightly, keep- 
ing them well watered during the summer. One
