To have a good lawn the soil must be rich, carefully worked and well leveled. All refuse should be 
removed and some good fertilizer worked into the soil. Then use the best seed obtainable. Plant any time 
from September until late spring. Rake in the seed and then roll. In watering your lawn soak it deeply and 
not too often, as frequent light waterings tend to bring the roots close to the surface, where they 
quickly dry out and sometimes burn out. 
A mixture of several varieties of grasses usually makes the best lawn. 
But don’t expect to make a good lawn with cheap seed. 
Alf grasses have an off or 
rest period at some time during the year, and during these rest periods very little new growth appears. 
These rest periods vary with different grasses, and by seeding a mixture the lawn always looks thrifty 
and fresh. 
Buy the best seed you can afford, as the cost of seed is a minor item compared to the rest of the 
expense connected with making a lawn. 
Our lawn mixtures are made up of seed of the highest purity and germination that we can buy, or 
we can furnish you with the straight varieties and you can make your own mixture.

A mixture of fine-leaved turf grasses containing a large percentage of Creeping Bent and Chewing
