If so, try a few pounds of our Shady Nook 
Grass Mixture, which is just what you need 
to produce fine, compact, velvety grass 
under such conditions. Shaded ground often 
becomes sour; in that case, give it an appli- 
cation of crushed limestone before seeding, 
applied at the rate of 25 pounds for 500 
square feet. Seed at the rate of 1 pound to 
about 250 square feet. Lb. 80c; 5 Ibs.

Renovate Your Lawu 
When your lawn gets thin and patchy, 
sow our Evergreen Mixture at the rate 
of about 1 pound to every 500 square feet 
and press in with a roller. If you do this 
a few seasons, and top-dress in the 
winter with well-rotted compost, your 
unsightly lawn can be made beautiful 
again.

tains no trash and is adapted to either clay, 
sandy, or loam soil. Plant at the rate of 1 
pound to 300 square feet, or in the case of

rooting, densely cropping grass for putting 
greens. Makes a velvety smooth, low, 
thrifty lawn surface. Sow 60 pounds to the 
acre. Lb. $1.50, postpaid. 
Kentucky Blue Grass

tinuing until the ground freezes late in the 
fall. Lb. 80c; 5 Ibs. $3.75, postpaid. 
White Dutch Clover 
This is very good seed to use in renovating 
old lawns, especially on sandy soil, because
