LAWN GRASS 
Seneca Lawn Mixtures 
1 lb. will sow 300 sq. feet 
Whether you are seeding a new lawn or repairing an old one, it is very important that you use good seed. 
Much cheap grass seed carries an excessive amount of weed seeds, chaff and coarse grasses. These mixtures 
are made to sell at a price. It has always been our policy to make up the best possible mixture and then determine 
the selling price. 
Only the best “Fancy” grade of seed is used in these mixtures. They are free from noxious weed seeds and 
contain a minimum of inert materials.

than shade that causes those bare spots in the lawn.

Lawn makes a beautiful turf in the shady spots

LAWN MIXTURE FOR ANNUAL SEEDING 
There are often places the sun cannot reach and usu- 
ally in these spots, grass does not thrive for any length 
of time. We suggest sowing quick growing grasses 
that will cover the ground and remain green until 
the late Summer. Ground that is heavily shaded has 
to be fertilized and reseeded each year. Our annual 
“The Home Lawn”’ seeding mixture is made up of grasses which are most

BEETLE DAMAGE IN LAWNS 
Considerable damage from the larvae of the Japanese 
Beetle and the common June bug is being reported. 
If you notice brown spots in your lawn and find that 
the grass roots have been eaten, you will probably find 
the white grubs within the top few inches of soil. 
Treatment for this damage is to rake off dead grass 
and treat with arsenate of lead at the rate of 1 pound per 
hundred square feet of lawn. (See page 36.) This 
may be mixed with 10 gallons of water and applied 
as a spray, or with a sprinkling pot, or it may be mixed 
with fertilizer and applied directly onto the affected 
spots. Seeding may be done immediately after this 
treatment. 
Garden Clubs 
We have a set of Kodachrome slides of “Flowers of 
the South” available for Garden Clubs, Granges, 
Churches, etc. This set is made up of 150 colored 
slides we have taken at different times of year from 
North Carolina to Florida. There is no charge for 
the use of the slides and where the distance is not too 
great we can usually send someone with a projector 
and screen to explain the pictures more fully and dis- 
cuss your garden problems.
