Cultural Suggestions for 
Chrysanthemums 
Plant in a sunny location, in any good 
garden soil with good drainage. If soil is 
too heavy, mix coarse sand, leaf mold, peat 
moss or well-rotted manure to a depth of 
12 to 18 inches. Plant firmly at same level 
as growing before. Do not plant too deeply. 
It is a good idea to sprinkle a little coarse 
sand or peat moss on surface after plant- 
ing. : 
May and early June are the best months 
for planting. Space the plants about 18 
inches apart and water well. Do not let 
plants suffer for lack of water. When the 
foliage shows any sign of drooping or get- 
ting hard, it is a sure sign that the plant 
is thirsty. Water at the root and do not 
wet the foliage if it can be avoided. The 
best time to water is in the early morning 
or evening. Water thoroughly so that the 
water will penetrate to the root where it 
is needed. If the soil dried up too fast, it 
may indicate a lack of humus; in which 
case a top dressing of peat moss or well- 
rotted manure should be given. 
Pansy Plants: 
GIANT PANSY PLANTS. Fine, large 
plants grown from our “Regal” strain.

LAWN GRASS 
Economy Lawn Grass 
A low pricea Jawn graés mixture tnat will give excellent results. It does not contain 
as many fine leaved grasses as the Premier or Skagit Brands, but it- will stand abuse 
equally as well. ECONOMY lawn grass does not contain any Creeping Bent grass and 
for that reason does not require as much moisture or care. ; 
Price per Ib. 45c; 5 Ibs. for $2.00; 10 Ibs. for $3.60, postpaid. 
How to Have a Good Lawn 
Spade the ground deeply and see that it 
is thoroughly pulverized. Work in a good 
commercial fertilizer. Sheep guano or peat 
moss will add humus and improve the seed 
bed. Rake level and water thoroughly so 
the ground will settle. The seed bed should 
be allowed to stand for about two weeks, 
watering from time to time so the weed 
seeds will sprout. 
Roll the ground before seeding, to pre- 
vent 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 re- 
tain the moisture. New lawns should not 
be allowed to dry out, not even for a half 
day. For the first 15 days the lawn should — 
be watered twice a day if necessary. A 
lawn should be fertilized after the first cut- 
ting, and at least twice a year. Water well 
after applying. 
WARNING: Do not use the so called 
rotted manure which is being sold to in- 
experienced gardeners. It may be full of 
wild clover and other weed seeds and pests. 
It is expensive when you take into consid- 
eration that a few pounds of good fertilizer 
is equal to a sack of manure. If you want 
a moisture-holding material for top-dress- 
ing use peat. We recommend the use of 
peat.
