Slate's Lawn Mixtures 
With a background of over seventy years’ experience, we feel that 
we are in position to make a lawn grass mixture better than anyone 
else. For years we have experimented with various grasses to find 
those best adapted to certain localities and the ones that will give 
the finest of velvety lawns. This research work has perfected for us 
two mixtures that should answer every purpose. We do not put any 
filler in our mixtures to give them bulk. They are made up of clean 
solid seed. The best grades that we can obtain, consequently Slate’s 
Lawn Mixtures may cost you a little more but they are worth it. 
Start the new lawn in the fall or early spring. Work the soil into a 
fine seed bed four inches deep, raking to remove all foreign matter 
and coarse litter. Level and grade it into the proper shape. Then 
apply ground limestone at the rate of two tons per acre or hydrated 
lime at the rate of one ton per acre. Next apply raw Bone Meal, 
Cotton Seed Meal, and a high grade of commercial fertilizer at the 
rate of one pound of each to every twenty square feet of surface. 
“Then rake these into the soil with a light hand rake. After the 
fertilizer and lime have been thoroughly incorporated with the soil, 
you are ready for seeding. Seed should be sowed at the rate of one 
pound to each two hundred square feet of surface. Divide the total 
seed into two lots and sow twice over the entire surface, going length- 
wise once and then across. This double sowing eliminates bare spots 
that might be skipped if only one application is made. Then rake the 
lawn seed into the soil with a hand rake and roll with a lawn roller 
to firm the seed bed. When the young grass comes up, keep it watered 
until it gets a good start and be certain to cut the grass as soon as it 
gets tall enough to cut. Never let a new lawn grow wild. Keep it cut. 

EndoWeed 
This is one of the new selective 
weed killers designed to keep your 
lawn free of weeds without injuring 
the grass. It is simple to mix and 
easy to'apply. Full directions on each 
package. Can be applied with any 
kind of sprayer or springling pot and 
it kills both the foliage and the roots 
of most of our worst lawn pests. It is 
positive control for Dandelion, Chick 
weed, Honeysuckle, Poison Oak, and 
nearly all broad leaf weeds. Endoweed 
is based on the new 2.4 D hormone 
discovery and has been thoroughly 
tested proving effective on over fifty 
varieties of weeds. It is so very clean 
and easy to apply that anyone can use 
it. It will not clog or corrode a spray- 
er and is harmless to livestock. 8 ozs. 
covers 2000 sq. ft. of lawn thoroughly, 
therefore it is economical to use even 
. on large areas like farm fence rows, 
etc. Weed control with Endoweed 
saves both money and time and is far 
more effective than any hand method.

SLATE’S PERFECTION MIXTURE.—This mix- 
ture is built upon a formula based on our actual ex- 
perience with lawns in the Piedmont section. It con- 
tains grasses especially adapted to this section, varie- 
ties that produce a fine velvety growth both winter 
and summer, and these are proportioned to cover the 
requirements of many different soils. Some of the 
grasses will thrive in full sunlight while others love 
shade. Thus one mixture covers your needs. We have 
designed this mixture for the most critical trade and 
tried to make it the best to be obtained without re- 
gard to price. Follow the directions given above for 
seeding. 
Price—Lb. 80c, 5 lbs. $3.75, 10 lbs. $7.00, postpaid.

SLATE’S UTILITY MIXTURE.—This mixture is 
composed of the same high grade seed as our Perfec- 
tion but the varieties and proportions vary somewhat 
to make it a good ‘practical grass for large areas and 
places where the best, of care cannot be given the 
lawn. The grasses are’of fine texture but have been 
selected for their hardy nature so that they will with- 
stand hard service. If you have a lawn that is too 
large to receive the best of care, you will find this 
mixture a practical solution to the grass problem. 
We especially advise this mixture for country homes 
and large service areas around industrial plants.

Inoculation Pays 


To get full value from legume crops 
the seed must be inoculated. When 
inoculated these crops gather rich fer- 
tilizing material from the air and 
store them in the soil. Inoculation 
now costs but little and it will pay 
big dividends on the investment.
