LAWN MAKING 
Our Lawn Grass Seed is mixed from the very best grass seed, 
recleaned and free from weeds, and we sell many hundred pounds all 
over Long Island, as there is no better grade seed on the market. 
Loosen the soil in which a new lawn is to be made to a depth of at 
least five inches, and lighten it with humus, compost or manure if it 
is heavy and inclined to bake. Apply fertilizer liberally, either Sheep 
Manure, Bone Meal or both. Use Vigoro on established lawns in early 
Spring and early Fall. 
Sow in the early Spring when cool weather and ample rainfall 
will insure complete germination and a good start for the seedlings 
before hot dry weather comes. If seeding must be delayed, special 
precautions must be taken to prevent the ground drying out. Early 
Fall is a very desirable time to seed, if moisture is sufficient. 
See that the seed is well covered. Rake it into a new seed bed and 
roll so that the soil is firmed over the seed. Where seed is sown on an 
old lawn, always cover it with a top dressing of sand or soil and fer- 
tilizer and rake in. Seed thrown on the top of hard ground has no 
chance to grow and will merely wash off. 
No Timothy or Rye Grass is ever used in our Lawn Grass Mix- 
ture. 
JAPEDIZER 
Kills the grubs and feeds the grass. Use 10 lbs. Japedizer per 1,000 
square feet and water it in well. Afterwards loosen soil of bare and 
thin patches and reseed. Japedizer kills the grubs, spreads the Milky 
Disease in the beetles and fertilizes the grass.

Laughing Water, Southold, L. I., Aug. 10th. 
After preparing the ground with your Peat Moss and Bovung, I sowed Sterling 
Lawn Grass about two weeks ago. I wish you could see it now. The grass is up about 
an inch and it looks like a piece of green velvet. He Coals
