2 YOUR LAWN WILL BE ONLY AS GOOD AS THE SEED YOU PLANT 
Acllaweli LAWN GRASSES 
Your lawn, which completes the picture of your 

house, and gives you “eye-ease”, deserves 
careful planning, good soil preparation and 
most important of all, well chosen seed and 
proper planting. 
There is a great variation in lawn quality. Ob- 
serve the difference in lawns—note that the 
ones you most admire are usually the fine- 
leaved grassss, and that those least attractive 
are coarse pasture-grass like. The ftine-leaved 
grasses also give a more closely knit mat which 
prevents the growth of seeds. 
REMEMBER THAT YOUR LAWN 
WILL BE ONLY AS GOOD AS 
THE SEEDS YOU SOW 
Since the seed is the least costly part of the 
lawn, it is good policy not to stint in this direc- 
tion. Buy the best small-leaved gfass seeds to 
produce a lawn with a smooth velvety green 
turf—the kind of lawn you always admire when 
you see it. 
When you sow HALLAWELL’S LAWN GRASS 
SEEDS, you get the benefit of more than 40 
years’ experience in grass seed blending. Our 
formulas for mixtures are the result of year after 
year lawn study. And our mixtures are blended 
according to these formulas in our own ware- 
house. 
They grow in every kind of climate and under 
varied soil conditions. Try them, we know you 
will be pleased with the results. 

HOW MUCH SEED?

To prevent the surface drying and crusting cover the 
seed lightly with a mixture of soil and moistened peat 
moss. Sprinkle carefully, using a fine spray to prevent 
washing. Water thoroughly, but avoid applying too 
much in one place to form puddle, which may float 
the seed and mulch into patches. 
OUR LAWN TRIALS 
You'd be surprised to see the great variation in 
grasses. If you examined them closely you would 
find a difference in color, in width of blade, in habit 
of growth; some grow close to the ground, others 
grow upright. Some are tough and bunchy, others 
are tender and easy to cut. We study all of these 
characteristics and blend varieties that combine to 
form a good turf, a smooth good looking surface and a 
tich velvety green color. That is why it is best to sow 
mixtures for it is only by combining the desirable 
tested qualities of several grasses that the best lawn 
results can be obtained. 
Our lawn trials are established at our own Nursery 
Gardens, where they are grown under actual lawn 
conditions and where visitors may judge them as well. 
Visitors are always welcome at our Nursery where 
they may see the lawns for themselves, and are in- 
vited to ask questions about lawn making and lawn 
care. For out of town friends, we have LAWN TIPS 
which will be sent on request.
