Kill Weeds In Lawn With Weedone 

Dr. K. R. Ward’s home in Hall is graced with one of the finest lawns in the village. 
This is the result of good grass seed and a lot of 
work but a velvety lawn adds much to the appearance of a home. 
LAWN GRASS 
Seneca Lawn Mixtures 
1 Ib. will sow 300 sq. feet 
Whether you are seeding a new lawn or repairing 
an old one, it is very important that you use good 
seed. Much cheap grass seed carries an excessive 
amount of weed seeds, chaff and coarse grasses. ‘These 
mixtures are made to sell at a price. It has always 
been our policy to make up the best possible mixture 
and then determine the selling price. 
We make up two mixtures: one for soils rich in lime 
and the other for sections where there is a deficiency 
of lime in the soil. 
Mixture No. | for limestone soils contains 2% of 
Wild White Clover. Mixture No. 2 is made up with 
20% of Rhode Island Bent grass. 
Only the best “Fancy” grade of seed is used in 
these mixtures. They are free from noxious weed 
seeds and contain a minimum of inert materials. 
No. 1 Lawn Mixture (for limestone soils) : lb. 65 
cts.; 5 lbs. $3.00; 20 Ibs. $11.00, prepaid. 
No. 2 Lawn Mixture (for acid soils): lb. 75 cts.; 
5 lbs. $3.25; 20 Ibs. $11.50, prepaid.

LAWN MIXTURES FOR ANNUAL SEEDING 
There are often places the sun cannot reach and 
usually in these spots, grass does not thrive for any 
length of time. We suggest sowing quick growing 
grasses that will cover the ground and remain green 
until the late Summer. Ground that is heavily shaded 
has to be fertilized and reseeded each year. Our annual 
seeding mixture is made up of grasses which are most 
suitable for this purpose. Sow about | lb. to 200 square 
feet. Lb. 30cts.; 2 lbs. 55 cts.; 5 Ibs. $1.25, prepaid. 
BEETLE DAMAGE IN LAWNS 
Considerable damage from the larvae of the Japanese 
Beetle and the common June bug is being reported. 
If you notice brown spots in your lawn and find that 
the grass roots have been eaten, you will probably find 
the white grubs within the top few inches of soil. 
Treatment for this damage is to rake off dead grass 
and treat with arsenate of lead at the rate of 1 pound 
per hundred square feet of lawn. (See page 29.) 
This may be mixed with 10 gallons of water and ap- 
plied as a spray, or with a sprinkling pot, or it may be 
mixed with fertilizer and applied directly onto the 
affected spots. Seeding may be done immediately 
after this treatment.

Garden Clubs 
We have a set of Kodachrome slides of “‘Flowers of 
the South” available for Garden Clubs, Granges, 
Churches, etc. This set is made up of 150 colored 
slides we have taken at different times of year from 
North Carolina to Florida. There is no charge for 
the use of the slides and where the distance is not too 
great we can usually send someone with a projector 
and screen to explain the pictures more fully and dis- 
cuss your garden problems.

_ “Your seeds have been satisfactory from every standpoint and 
just a few days ago I received some Cobbler potatoes from you— 
the finest looking seed stock I have ever received—and I have been 
running a good garden for many years. Yesterday I received a box 
of Fairfax Strawberry Plants in excellent condition and every one 
of the plants was first-grade, and the packing you used enabled 
them to arrive virtually as fresh as when you dug them.”
