WETSEL’S famous Lawn Grasses 
a “ THE BEST FOR VIRGINIA” 
IDET SS 
‘SEED MIXTURE GREEN ISLAND 
There is no one variety of grass suitable for making a lawn. 
Best results are obtained by combining several different kinds, so 
that if growing conditions are not ideal for one, there will be another 
variety that will thrive in its place. From our long experience in 
testing different varieties and combinations of grass seeds, we have 
made up this Green Island mixture, containing the finest grasses 
for Virginia growing conditions. Lb. 93 cts.; 5 lbs. $4.35; 10 lbs. 
$8.60; 25 Ibs. $21.25.

How to Make a Lawn 
Lawn grass may be sown either in March or April, or in September or October. One pound 
of seed will plant 300 to 400 square feet. Dig the ground to a depth of 6 inches, making it fine 
and smooth. Work fertilizer (Vigoro is recommended) into the soil at the rate of 4 pounds to 
100 square feet, and rake it until smooth. Broadcast the seed thickly, half one way and half 
the other; cover it lightly and roll the soil to provide a firm seed-bed. Cut the grass when it 
is 2 inches high, and continue to mow it regularly. Water it generously twice a week if possible, 
but never merely sprinkle it with the hose, for this practice brings the grass roots to the surface 
of the ground where they are easily burned out by the hot summer sun. Remove all weeds 
if they appear and sow more grass seed in their place. For lasting results give the lawn a good 
application of fertilizer in the fall and spring. 
If ordering grass seed by mail, add 10 cents for the first pound and 1 cent extra for each 
additional pound.
