YOUR LAWN — A PART OF YOUR HOME 
It does not require a great lot of work to have a beautiful lawn throughout the winter months. Many of the grasses listed on this page are 
especially adapted to winter growing. We advise all who contemplate making a new lawn, or renewing the old, to do this work this Fall, so 
that the grasses will become well established before freezing weather, and start a luxuriant growth with the warmth of Spring. Conditions 
are usually ideal tor quick germination of grass seed at this season of the year. WE SHIP EXTRA HEAVY SEED FOR LAWN PURPOSES.

best grass for lawns in the South. We are now 
able to offer you this wonderful grass in the 
hulled seed. This operation hastens germina- 
tion, as the hulled seed will germinate in 
seven to ten days from time of planting and 
will prove to be a boon to new home builders 
who wish to establish a new lawn in a mini- 
mum of time. Using seed is so much less ex: 
pensive than soa.

pounds or more to each 1,000 square feet.

(Cynodon Dactylon). Will grow on almost any

shoulda be planted in the spring or late summer,

before a wet spell the seed will come up ina

prepared, then sow the seed broadcast. After 
the sowing run a roller over the land so as to

HOW TO PLANT RYE GRASS FOR A WINTER LAWN 
Rye Grass makes an ideal winter lawn when properly planted. It must be planted thick, using one vound of seed to each 10 or 12 feet 
square (100 to 120 square feet) otherwise the plants will produce a hsavy siem and your results will not prove satisfactory. When planted 
as suggested, you will be more than pleased. A green winter lawn at the time mest lawns are dead, makes an attractive setting for your 
home—dgiving a aglow cf warmth through the cold months.
