There is nothing more pleasing to the eye, that 
adds more beauty and value to the home, than a 
beautiful well-kept lawn. You never get tired of a 
good lawn and no home is complete without it: 
Since it is so important, and since it is to last 
for years, nothing in its construction should be 
slighted. By making a good lawn at the start, much 
worry, labor, and expense will be saved by the 
home owners afterwards. 
Write for special quotations on grass seed in 
large quantities, 100 to 1000 pounds.

vorable, a good stand ready for the mower in 3 weeks. 
This mixture contains no trash and is adapted to 
either clay, sandy, or loam soil, and should be applied 
at the rate of 1 pound to 300 square feet, or in the case 
of renovating an old lawn 1 pound to 600 square feet, 
depending upon how thin the grass is. Price: lb., 55c;

densely cropping grass for putting greens. Makes a 
velvety smooth, low, thrifty lawn surface sown 60 
pounds to the acre. By mail, postpaid: 1 1b., $1.50.

Shady Nook 
Mixture 
Have you a lawn that is shaded by 
trees? If so, try a few pounds of our 
Shady Nook Grass Mixture, which is 
just what you need in order to raise a 
patch of fine, compact, velvety grass 
under such conditions. Shaded ground 
often becomes sour and in this case it 
would be necessary to give it an appli- 
cation of crushed limestone before 
seeding, applied at the rate of 25 
pounds for 500 square feet. Seed at 
the rate of 1 pound to about 250 
square feet. Price: Ib., 65c; 5 lbs., -

Renovate Your Lawn 
If your lawn is*thin and patchy, 
sow our Evergreen Mixture at the 
rate of about 1 pound to every 500 
square feet and press in with a 
roller, applying this a couple of sea- 
sons, and top dress in the winter 
with well-rooted compost, and your 
ineieaey lawn can be made beau- 
fiful.
