September and October is the Best Time to Plant a Lawn 
The fall season is the best time to sow Lawn Grass Seed. The soil is warm and 
friable, with plenty of moisture from dews and rains, which not only hastens germination 
but enables the roots to become well established before freezing weather sets in. Com- 
petition from weeds is less, and root growth is well established before Spring. A lawn 
grown in this way will endure summer droughts better than a spring-grown lawn. 
Our Lawn Mixtures are composed of the finest varieties of grasses, each 
of which has its season of beauty, and the result of this blending is the pro- 
duction of a sod that is always evergreen and velvety in appearance, having the 
color and beauty of an emerald. 
QUANTITY TO USE—On new lawns sow 1 Ib. of seed to 200 sq. ft., 5 Ibs. 
to 1000 sq. ft., 100 lbs. per acre. For old lawns use half the quantity.
