LAWN FACTS 
LAWN SEED—Bluegrass, Red creeping  fe'scue, 
Reidtop, Chewings Fescue, Bent or all good deep 
green, permanent turf grasses. Using a mixture 
of these is preferable to a straight sowing of 
eitner. 
SEEDING—Approximately 3 Ibs. per 1000 sq. ft. 
of. of lawn is the recommended rate of sowing. 
Fertilizing before sowing the seed and watering 
afterwards is important. The ground must not be 
permitted to dry out until after the seed is up. 
FERTILIZING—A complete fertilizer such as 
Vertagreen or Vigoro, or an organic fertilizer 
such as Sheep manure should be applied twice 
yearly, Spring and Fall. A heavy watering after 
fertilizing is a good, and sometimes absolutely 
necessary practice. 
WATERING—Early morning waterings are more 
desirable than evening, especially in cases of 
bent or fescue’ lawns which are susceptible to 
lawn  disease’s. Infrequent heavy waterings are 
more beneficial than frequent shallow ones. 
LAWN GRASSES 
The FALL is an ideal time for preparing your lawn and sowing 
grass seed. This is especially true in the case of shady lo- 
cations. By sowing the seed in the FALL you give the grass a 
chance to get started and well rooted when the vitality of 
the surrounding trees is declining. All the grasses listed below 
may be sown anytime beginning Sept. Ist. 
LOSE’S SURE CROP LAWN GRASS—This grass is 4 carefully 
blended mixture of high grade Bluegrass, Red Top, Rye Grass, 
and Dutch White Clover, designed to give you the best lawn, 
in the quickest time, and under most weather conditions. Ideal 
for making a quick, permanent, deep green and velvety lawn. 
95c Ib., 5 Ibs. $4.50, 10 Ibs. $8.50, 20 Ibs. $16.50. 
LOSE’S SURE CROP SHADY LAWN—A carefully blended’ mnix- 
ture of grasses especially adapted to growing in shady spots, 
under trees, or on the shady side of the house. Since trees take 
a lot of plant food out of the soil it is especially important 
that you work in at least 4 Ibs. of Vigoro, or 6 Ibs. of Sheep 
Manure per 100 sq. ft., and water frequently in the summer. 
Fall sowing of this seed enables the grass to get a good start 
while the trees are dormant. $1.00 Ib., 5 Ibs. $4.75, 10 Ibs. 
$9.00, 20 Ibs. $17.50. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS—King of Grasses—Unequalled for 
making a beautiful thick compact turf when conditions are 
favorable. Germination is slow, and if quick lawn is desired 
should be sown along with faster germinating grasses. Blue 
gress prefers soil of high fertility, so if your ground is poor 
be sure to use fertilizer or manure. $1.10 Ib., 5 Ibs. $5.25, 10 
lbs. $10.00, 20 Ibs. $19.50. 
LOSE’S WINTER GRASS—This mixture of grasses is especially 
adapted to giving a quick thick, deep green coverage for the 
winter. It is just as satisfactory for shady locations:as open 
places. 40c Ib., 5 Ibs. $1.75, 20 Ibs., $6.50. 
RYE GRASS—Unexcelled for rapid growth and immediate ef- 
fect. Does not make a permanent lawn unless mixed with 
other grasses. Excellent to give a beautiful green effect all 
winter. 25c¢ Ib., 5 Ibs., $1.15, 20 Ibs., $4.25. 
PERENNIAL RYE GRASS—The somewhat darker green finer 
blade makes the perennial rye grass more desirable for lawns 
than the domestic rye grass. Very quick growing. 35c Ib., 
5 Ibs. $1.65, 10 Ibs. $3.00, 20 Ibs. $5.75. 
DUTCH WHITE CLOVER—A perennial clover used extensively 
for lawns in a mixture. $1.15 Ib. 
POA TRIVIALIS—Also known as Rough Stalk Meadow Grass or 
Blue Grass of the Shade, since it is particularly adapted to 
shady places. Does not withstand drought as well as Blue Grass, 
so its ideal location would be a moist shady spot. $1.15 Ib., 
5 Ibs. $5.50, 10 Ibs. $10.25. 
CREEPING RED FESCUE—Excellent for shade. Thrives on all 
types of soil, even dry sandy bottom soil. Makes an extremely 
tight sod of fine needle-like deep green leaves. Is not easily 
winter-killed and is ideal for use on lawns, golf courses, air- 
ports, cemeteries, and playgrounds.. $1.25 .Ib., 5 Ibs. $6.00, 
10 Ibs., $11.50. . i
