Wonderful mixture resulting from years of experience. It is

duced. It makes. a smooth, green, velvety lawn with a thick 
_ bottom, free from common grasses which are inclined to pro- 
duce clumps or knots. Only the very finest varieties of the 
most suitable grasses for making an even, thick mass are used 
in this mixture. The various grasses composing this well-bal- 
anced blend are fine-bladed and deep rooting, sure to pro- 
duce the best results under our conditions of soil and climate. 
It is all plump, heavy seed, free from chaff or weed seeds. 
Sow one pound:-for a plot 20 by 20 ft. (400 sq. ft.); 100 to 
150 Ibs. of seed are required to sow one acre. 
HOW TO BUILD YOUR LAWN 
In preparing a lawn a foundation is just as important as a 
foundation of your home, as it is something that should not 
have to have repairs for several years if properly constructed. 
In most of our lawns in the Inland Empire, the soil is usually 
filk-dirt from excavating your basement. The lawns can be built 
from this type of soil, but seldom gives satisfactory results for 
several years. Gravelly and course sandy soils should have an 
application of peat moss on top of the fill dirt, using one bale 
to each 500 square feet with at least a three-inch covering of 
good black soil. The peat moss will stop the soil from washing 
away through the gravel and will act as a sponge to retain the 
moisture. Such a treatment will soon pay for itself in the annual 
saving of water. A lawn that is thus prepared seldom requires 
watering more than twice a week if this lawn is well soaked each 
application. If the top soil is inclined to harden, peat moss can 
be worked in with the soil which will act as a mulch. After the 
top soil has been properly spread, a lawn roller should be applied 
to show up the low spots. These should be filled in or levelled 
off and rolled again. After all those spots are out, a light raking 
before seeding is best. Then the seed should be applied and 
lightly raked the second time. Then rolled and thoroughly 
sprinkled, but not enough to flood. A thin layer of peat moss 
over the surface of the soil will help retain the moisture. 
During the germination of seed, the lawn should be kept damp 
at all times, as one hot day with no moisture will destroy the 
germination of newly sprouting seeds. 
Fertilizing a new lawn should be done at the time the seed is 
planted providing it is an all chemical fertilizer. If a chemical 
and organic fertilizer is used, it should be applied at least one 
week before seeding to allow the heat from the organic ele- 
ments to work out before germination of the seed. If no fertilizer 
is applied at the time of seeding, or before, it should not be 
fertilized until after the lawn has had its first mowing. 
A good method to insure even distribution of this seed over 
the lawn area is to divide the seed into three equal parts, taking 
one part and seeding north and south or east and west; the 
second part in the opposite direction; and the third in a criss- 
cross manner.

ASTORIA BENT. This strain of Bent differs from the Seaside 
variety in that it does not send out stolens, but it spreads 
underground, sending up many rootstalks that produce a 
splendid turf. The growth is upright, of fine texture and is a 
richer green than Seaside Bent. It is more practical for lawns 
and succeeds best in heavy soils. Sow 1 pound to 600 square 
feet. 
CHEWING FESCUE. Used extensively on putting greens, fair- 
ways and tees on golf courses, and does well on any kind of 
soil. It also produces a stiff, upright plant. Sow 1 pound to 
400 square feet. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. Makes an excellent lawn of dark 
green color. It forms a fine mat. With care and water makes 
- one of the best lawns. Sow 1 pound to 300 square feet.
