experience with Drumcliff seed has been very satisfactory, indeed” 
writes Mr. Moser who has a beautiful lawn despite tall trees and 
heavy shade.

DO WHAT NATURE DOES— 
SOW YOUR GRASS SEED IN THE FALL! 
Mother Nature knows best about 
planting grass seed. The wild grasses 
blossom and bear seed; the warm sum- $j 
mer sun ripes and matures it; the folie ae 
winds scatter it over the ground; the # 
warm soil and rains cause it to one 
and all through the fall and early winter 
the roots are becoming established. Then 
the early spring “warm up" starts the | 
strong heavy growth of plants fully 
rooted and strong enough to resist the 
scorching heat of summer.

3 YEARS FROM BRIARPATCH 
TO BEAUTIFUL, DRUMCLIFF LAWN 
A wild, weed-and-crabgrass-infested meadow next door hasn't kept 
Mr. Paul D. Leedy, 51 Elmwood Ave., Chatham, N. J. from having a 
lawn that makes neighbors marvel. ‘‘! call it Drumcliff's pride and 
Leedy’s joy", writes Mr. Leedy. 
“The-amusing truth is that the lawn 
produced from your seed has been 
so noticeable that the entire neigh- 
borhood has become lawn con- 
scious, and neighbors are giving a 
great deal of extra attention to 
their lawns.” 
Webb R., Norfolk, Nebraska 
"Your seed which | have used in the 
making of a new lawn on Long 
Island is coming up beautifully, and 
| must say that | have never seen 
grass seed as free from weeds as 
this.” LeRoy L., New York, N. Y. 
Experts Advise Early Fall Planting 
The U. S. Dept. of Agriculture advises 
fall planting of lawn grass, as follows: 
"It is regrettable that many home own- 
ers do not take much interest in starting 
a lawn in the fall. It is only after outdoor 
activities have been suspended for some 
time that the desire to work in the soil FALL SEEDED SPRING SEEDED 
returns. Because of this, many lawns are started in the spring and a high 
percentage of failure results. Weed competition is especially great at this 
time (spring) and, furthermore, hot weather is likely to occur before the 
seedlings are well enough established to withstand such a severe test." 
What State Experiment Station Tests Showed 
Best evidence that NOW is the time for you to start your Drumcliff 
‘Lawn can be found in the two illustrations on this page, sketched from ac- 
tual test plots grown and measured at a State Experimental Station, as of 
June. Notice how much deeper the Fall-planted grass roots are—how 
many more there are of them. Observe particularly the heavy fullness and 
strength of the Fall grass—sturdy, able to more successfully resist midsum- 
mer drought and heat and with a better chance to fight crabgrass and 
crowd it out. 
‘am so much pleased with your 
Shady lawn grass seed that | am 
enclosing check for 10 more pounds 
of your seed for open, sunny places.” 
Mrs. Wm. H. R., 
“This is the finest seed | ever saw. 
We planted a small plot late last 
Fall. It came up quickly and stayed 
a beautiful green all winter.” 
Fredk. F. F., New York, N. Y. 
“Lawn planted last Fall is next thing to perfect.”

large part of their planting in the fall. The small buyer of seed for the home 
is apt to reverse this procedure, but during recent years there has been a 
steady trend in favor of fall planting, resulting in heavier spring growth 
and better lawns. 
Be wise! Make a new lawn or build up the thin or bare spots in your 
lawn and re-seed the established turf now—this fall. From late August 
through September and October is the best time. Then, next spring, in- 
stead of retarding the work on your lawn, the late snows and early rains 
will help that much more toward the satisfaction of having a perfect lawn.
