KNOX’'S LAWN GRASS SEED 
How To Have A Good Lawn 
The ground should be well prepared and the soil should not be too 
rich, as it is not desirable to have a rapid growth when starting a 
lawn. After the ground is thoroughly worked, roll it before seed- 
ing, to prevent it from settling unevenly, and then rake the surface 
lightly. Sow the seed so as to cover the ground thoroughly, and 
then cover it lightly with soil. Roll again so as to press the seed in 
firmly. If you have no roller, use boards and tramp on them so as 
to pack the ground firmly, but a roller is preferred. 
Grass seed will germinate in from 8 to 15 days, according to the 
weather. If a lawn is made during the summer, the ground should 
be covered lightly with peat after the seed has been rolled, so as to 
retain the moisture. New lawns should not be allowed to dry out, 
For the first 15 days the lawn should be

applying. 
WARNING. Do not use the so-called rotted manure which is 
being sold to inexperienced gardeners. It is full of wild clover and 
other weed seeds. Pests, such as slugs, snails, beetles, etc., get a 
start in most gardens through eggs and larvae in such manure. It 
is expensive when you take into consideration that a few pounds of 
good plant food is equal to a sack of manure. If you want a 
moisture-holding material for top-dressing use peat; it is clean. 

KNOX’S LAWN GRASS MIXTURE. A modern lawn grass 
seed mixture, composed of the finest grasses and is adapted to a 
wide variety of soils. It will make a permanent sod of deep rooted 
grasses. 1 1b. 95c. 
SHADY LAWN MIXTURE. Composed 
suited for growing in heavily shaded locations. 
It is also satisfactory in light shade. 1 1b. 95c. 
PACIFIC MIXTURE. Used exclusively on the College of the 
Pacific campus. A very hardy, strong-growing mixture. Will 
stand extremely hard use such as playground or back yard. Con- 
siderably coarser than Knox’s Lawn Mixture. 1 1b. 50c. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. Most widely used of all lawn 
grass seeds. Used in all mixtures. Knox’s Quality is the finest

it. Knox’s Quality—1 lb. 95c. 
WHITE DUTCH or LAWN CLOVER—(Trifolium Rep- 
ens). This is valuable for pasturage as well as for lawns; it suc- 
ceeds where other clovers and grasses fail, and it seldom dies out. 
It can be sown at all seasons, although early spring is best. Lb. 1.75. 
SEASIDE BENT—(Agrostis Maritima).~ Also often called 
Coos County Bent because most of the seed is grown in Coos 
County, Oregon. This is a true creeping bent, and makes a very 
smooth, uniform lawn, Extreme care must be taken in purchasing 
this seed, as there are so many swamp grasses and other weed

Bent. It is a very desirable type of grass for golf course putting 
greens and fine lawns, as it makes a beautiful, thickly matted, deep 
green turf. It holds its color exceptionally well and is an under- 
ground creeper. Our Astoria Bent is unusually clean and free from 
weed seeds. Lb. $1.50.
