 §$late’s Lawn Mixtures 
With a background of over seventy years’ experience, we feel that 
we are in position to make a lawn grass mixture better than anyone 
else. For years we have experimented with various grasses to find 
those best adapted to certain localities and the ones that will give 
the finest of velvety lawns. This research work has perfected for us 
two mixtures that should answer every purpose. We do not put any 
filler in our mixtures to give them bulk. They are made up of clean 
solid seed. The best grades that we can obtain, consequently Slate’s 
Lawn Mixtures may cost you a little more but they are worth it. 
Start the new lawn in the fall or early spring. Work the soil into a 
fine seed bed four inches deep, raking to remove all foreign matter 
and coarse litter. Level and grade it into the proper shape. Then 
apply ground limestone at the rate of two tons per acre or hydrated 
lime at the rate of one ton per acre. Next apply raw Bone Meal, 
Cotton Seed Meal, and a high grade of commercial fertilizer at the 
rate of one pound of each to every twenty square feet of surface. 
Then rake these into the soil with a light hand rake. After the 
fertilizer and lime have been thoroughly incorporated with the soil, 
you are ready for seeding. Seed should be sowed at the rate of one 
pound to each two hundred square feet of surface. Divide the total 
seed into two lots and sow twice over the entire surface, going length- 
wise once and then across. This double sowing eliminates bare spots 
that might be skipped if only one application is made. Then rake the 
lawn seed into the soil with a hand rake and roll with a lawn roller 
to firm the seed bed. When the young grass comes up, keep it watered 
until it gets a good start and be certain to cut the grass as soon as it 
gets tall enough to cut. Never let a new lawn grow wild. Keep it cut.

provided the shade is not so dense that growth is 
impossible. The best soil for it is a mixture of clay 
and loam. If you want the finest of lawns, sow this

2041 — SLATE'S UTILITY MIXTURE. — This 
mixture is composed of the same high grade seeds as 
our Perfection but the varieties and proportions vary 
somewhat to make it a good practical grass for large 
areas and places where the best of care cannot be 
given the lawn. It is of fine texture but hardy sort 
that will withstand hard service. If you have a lawn 
that is too large to receive the best of care, you will 
find this a practical solution to the grass problem.

Inoculation Pays 

To get full value from legume crops the 
seed must be inoculated. When inoculated 
these crops gather rich fertilizing material 
from the air and store them in the soil. In- 
oculation now costs but little and it will 
pay big dividends on the investment. —
