HOW MUCH SEED? WHAT KIND? WHAT PRICE? 
In figuring how much seed you need, 
remember “‘skimpy’’ seeding is the 
most costly in the long run. Plant 
enough to get a thick, heavy mat of 
grass and you'll need far less re- 
seeding. 
The wise minimum for new 
planting may be

FERTILIZER 
FOR YOUR LAWN 
Deepens the green color of the 
grass and stimulates a luxuriant 
growth more resistant to disease. 
Stays greener in dry weather. 
FOR YOUR GARDEN 
There is sufficient evidence at hand 
to show that food raised with the 
aid of fertilizer with natural humus 
materials (Soil Tone) has more vit- 
amins and minerals than do those 
raised with artificial fertilizers. 
FOR YOUR FLOWERS 
More, larger, brighter blooms. Soil 
Tone provides the much needed 
moist and cool humus for the hot 
summer months. 
FOR YOUR TREES AND SHRUBS 
Shade trees and shrubs show a 
healthier, greener foliage and fruit 
trees produce larger fruit and more 
easily throw off disease. 

shade, soil conditions, drainage, slope, 
all must be considered. 
That's why we suggest that lawn seed 
should be bought from a merchant 
who can weigh all these factors—and 
help you to get the right answer. 
What price? How much should you 
pay for lawn seed? Well, there’s no 
getting away from the fact that low 
priced seeds are actually the most 
costly. They give you less coverage; 
hence you have to plant more. They 
don't last as long; hence, you must 
replant more often. They don’t make 
the type of dense turf that crowds 
out the weeds. So, whatever the price 
of lawn seed at any given time, buy 
the finest you can get! You'll save 
money—and have a better lawn!
