In Seeding Sloping Areas— 
USE SALT HAY 
Salt Hay is now used in the making of lawns on sloping areas or steep 
banks where there is danger of the seed and soil washing out from heavy 
rains. The Salt Hay is applied after the seed is sown and left until the grass 
begins to develop. At the same time it also shades the newly seeded area 
and helps to prevent the soil from drying out. For this same reason also’ 
Salt Hay is often used on level areas in late spring or early summer seeding. 
Since it contains no weed seed, it also makes an ideal mulch for the gar- 
den. Widely used in rose beds and around tomatoes and strawberries. It 
not only keeps the weeds down, but also retains moisture in the soil. Bale 
covers approximately 400 sq. ft. $3.95 per bale.
