“THE BEST FOR VIRGINIA” 
Green Island 
There is no one variety of grass suitable for making a lawn. 
Best results are obtained by combining several different kinds, so 
that if growing conditions are not ideal for one, there will be another 
variety that will thrive in its place. From our long experience in 
testing different varieties and combinations of grass seeds, we have 
made up this Green Island mixture, containing the finest grasses 
for Virginia growing conditions. Lb. 35 ets.; 5 Ibs. $1.60; 10 Ibs. 
$3.00; 25 Ibs. $7.25. 
HOW TO MAKE A LAWN 
Lawn grass may be sown either in March or April, or in September or October. One pound 
of seed will plant 300 to 400 square feet. Dig the ground to a depth of 6 inches, making it fine 
and smooth. Work fertilizer (Vigoro is recommended) into the soil at the rate of 4 pounds to 
100 square feet, and rake it until smooth. Broadcast the seed thickly, half one way and half 
the other; cover it lightly and roll the soil to provide a firm seed-bed. Cut the grass when it 
is 2 inches high, and continue to mow it regularly. Water it generously twice a week if possible, 
but never merely sprinkle it with the hose, for this practice brings the grass roots to the surface 
of the ground where they are easily burned out by the hot summer sun. Remove all weeds 
as they appear and sow more grass seed in their place. For lasting results give the lawn a good 
application of fertilizer in the fall and spring. 
If ordering grass seed by mail, add 10 cents for the first pound and 1 cent extra for each 
additional pound. 
Wetsel’s Shady Lawn Grass 
Few grasses thrive in shade. Our special 
mixture is composed of dwarf grasses especially 
adapted to shady places under trees and around 
the house. Under trees apply a double quantity 
of fertilizer and water more frequently. Lb.

Wetsel’s Park Lawn Grass 
A popular low-priced mixture especially 
recommended for late sowing, as it contains a 
mother crop which will help it through the 
summer. Lb. 30 cts.; 5 lbs. $1.35; 10 lbs. $2.50; 
25 Ibs. $6.00. 
Kentucky Blue Grass 
Basis of most lawn grass. 21-lb. seed. Lb.

For Lawns and Pastures 
Makes a small, close, compact growth, cover- 
ing the ground like a carpet. Sow either in the 
spring or fall. When sown by itself, sow 5 to 6 
pounds per acre; it is better, however, sown in 
an hbee with other grasses. Lb. 75 cts.; 5 Ibs.

JiGORO 
YICTORY. GARDE 
| FERTILIZER 
FOR FOOD PRODUCTION ONLY 

Victory Garden Vigoro is just what the name 
implies. First it is especially designed for 
Gardens. Secondly, its use is limited strictly to 
gardens—the home and market garden. It can- 
not be sold for any use other than the production 
of vegetables. Like all Victory Garden fertilizers, 
its analysis is 5-10-5. However, the sources of its 
ingredients are not the same. That is an im- 
portant factor in the making of fertilizers. Swift 
& Co. has spared no expense in the selection of 
Victory Garden Vigoro materials, for as a rule the 
best is the cheapest in the long run. This ac- 
counts for the higher price of Vigoro, as compared 
with other Victory Garden fertilizers. 5 Ibs. 
50 cts.; 10 lbs. 80 cts.; 25 Ibs. $1.45; 50 Ibs. $2.35; 
100 lbs. $3.70; 500 Ibs., $3.55 per 100 Ibs. 
Granulated Peat Moss 
A splendid mulching material for roses, shrubs, 
and other plants. 1% bale $1.75; bale $3.25.

Victory Garden Fertilizer: (5-10-5). This 
year, like last year, the Federal Govern- 
ment has restricted fertilizer for gardens to 
one grade. However, regulations have been 
somewhat relaxed in respect to nitrogen 
content, which is vital to gardens. Last 
year VG fertilizer was limited to 3-8-7. 
The analysis of VG this year is 5-10-5. To 
be eligible for gardens, even a ‘‘5-10-5” 
fertilizer must be branded Victory Gar- 
den. Price $2.60 per 100-lb. bag; ton lots 
$2.50 per bag. 
COMPLETE PLANT FOOD 
For Lawns and Flowers 

The old Vigoro, the kind you have long 
known and used, is back again. It is the 
Vigoro that is famous for stimulating the 
growth of Lawns, Flowers, Shrubs, etc. As 
you doubtless recall, this Vigoro was not 
available last year. In fact the U. 8S. Govern- 
ment prohibited the use of any kind of fer- 
tilizer on lawns and the like. But Government 
restrictions have been modified, permitting 
the manufacture and use of established (pre- 
viously registered) brands of Lawn, Flower 
and Shrub fertilizer. This restores the use of 
Vigoro but, as we understand the regulations, 
prohibits the use of ordinary fertilizer on 
lawns, etc. Vigoro is too well and favorably 
known to require a lengthy description. It is 
a complete plant food and when used at the 
rate of 4 pounds to the 100 square feet of 
space can be depended upon to produce 
desired results. Order early, as the quantity 
that can be manufactured is limited. Lb. 
10 cts.: 5 lbs. 45 cts.; 10 Ibs. 85 cts.; 25 lbs. 
$1.50; 50 lbs. $2.50; 100 lbs. $4.00; 500 lbs. 
$3.75 per 100 Ibs.
