Have a Beautiful Lawn and Lots of Bright-Colored Flowers 
For Sure and Complete Success SOW SCHELL’S QUALITY LAWN SEED 
Positively the HIGHEST QUALITY IN SEED, Purity Germination and in Formula 
: _Have a beautiful lawn—don't call it ‘““work’’—it’s play, it’s fun, it’s healthful exercise. Treat your grass as a 
living thing, which it is,—feed it, trim it carefully; be sure your mower is sharp. A dull mower soon ruins a lawn; 
it tears the leaf and pulls the roots. The cut should be easy and clean. Patch up its “‘sore’’ spots, remove its 
enemies, the weeds, look at it, “‘talk’’ to it, admire it, love it, feed it, stay with it. It is the perfect place for all 
the family to play, to rest, for fellowship and to breathe in God’s rich, pure, refreshing air! 
A little or big ‘‘outdoor living-room”’ like those on the opposite page can be yours with a little work, 
patience, and Schell’s Quality Lawn Grass Seed and Schell’s Quality Flower Seeds. 
“Schell’s” Quality Lawn Grass Seed 
For all sunny places 
It is the highest quality Lawn Seed obtainable, made under 
our own formulas of the very fanciest, purest, cleanest grades of 
grasses, of the highest possible germination. Thousands of the 
most beautiful lawns here and throughout Pennsylvania and 
elsewhere are the result of sowing Schell’s Quality Lawn Grass 
Seed. Do not allow yourself to be persuaded to buy cheap 
seed for it will mean reseeding, loss of time and work. To be 
sure of success and have a rich velvety carpet of beautiful 
green, always sow Schell’s Quality Lawn Grass Seed. 
To Have a Good Lawn.—Prepare the soil well, work it up 
as fine as possible, then scatter over and rake in your fertilizer. 
Now sow the seed, beginning at one end and work back, raking 
the soil fine and even just before sowing the seed. Do not rake 
after sowing, but press the seed lightly into the soil by rolling 
or tamping. Sow the seed very evenly. 
‘Drying out’ is fatal. Keep the newly sown lawn moder- 
ately moist by light, mist-like sprinkling or by covering with 
cloth or burlap until the grass is through the soil. Allowing it 
to dry out, just when the seed has started to germinate, is 
fatal to the seed, and it cannot germinate a second time; it must 
be re-sown. Avoid too severe watering which packs the soil. 
For new lawns sow 1 pound to each 100 square feet, 
that is, 10 feet long and 10 feet wide. (For renewing old lawns, 
sow half this quantity.) Sow 200 pounds to the acre.

Schell’s Terrace or Embankment Mixture. When you pre- 
pare a bank or terrace for sowing, never rake it down; always 
rake crosswise and just before sowing the seed make a final 
once-over with the rake fairly deep and straight; sow the 
seed and tamp or press down the soil. This prevents washing 
out the grass and soil when it rains. Mlb. 45 cts.; lb. 85 cts.;
