FOR LOVELY LAWNS 
100 LBS. SOWS AN ACRE. 
HOW TO GROW A LAWN 
Sow grass in early spring or fall so it can develop deep roots in mild 
weather to stand summer heat, drought and weeds. Prepare a good firm 
seed bed and pulverize the ground 5 inches deep, when not wet; remove 
stones and roots. On each 100 sq. ft. (10 x 10), dig in 5 Ibs. lime, 5 Ibs. 
fertilizer like Vigoro, and a soil conditioner like Krilium, Peat Moss, com- 
post; or 5 lbs. of organic plant food like Sheep Manure. Don’t mix lime 
directly with fertilizer. Rake smooth. 
Broadcast seed evenly; cover lightly with a rake or drag; roll or pat firm; 
water with fine spray until seed comes up; pull or kill with Weedone buried 
weed seeds which digging brings up. 
Each spring or fall reseed and fertilize with half the above amounts; cut 
close; rake surface soil loose; broadcast fertilizer and seed, heaviest on 
bare spots and under trees; roll firm; then water. 
Cut regularly when 21/2 inches high. Don’t cut shorter than 1 inch; 
don’t remove clippings unless long and heavy, they add mulch and fer- 
tility; water in evenings in hot dry spell. 
SELECTING THE SEED 
No one grass variety grows in all seasons, climates, soils, sun and shade. 
Permanent year-round lawns need a mixture of many grasses. Wood’s 
Lawn Grass Mixtures are based on our 75 years of experience and study of 
lawn problems. Most of them contain White Dutch Clover which enriches 
the soil with nitrogen, keeping the grasses vigorously green. They do not 
contain crab grass or noxious weeds. They contain only the finest quality 
seeds of highest purity and germination that produce vigorous healthy 
plants that form soft, thick, velvety lawns that last many years. Their 
true value is far greater than mixtures cheapened with worthless coarse 
grasses like Timothy that form unsightly tufts, will not stand close cutting, 
soon die and must be replanted. 
In the Southern Coastal Area sow Wood’s Dixie on sunny, open, steep, 
dry, or sandy soils, and Wood’s Coastal Lawn Grass on shady, low, moist 
or fertile spots, or soils high in humus. 
Elsewhere sow Wood’s Shady Park under trees and in shade; Wood’s 
Super-Green is best for a smooth, durable lawn as fine as a golf putting 
green; Wood’s Evergreen is best for average conditions; Emerald Park for 
moderate cost lawns, parks, etc.; Mayfair is best for lowest cost permanent 
lawns and to renovate established lawns for green growth all winter. 
WOOD’S EVERGREEN LAWN GRASS 
Based on our formula in use 70 years. The best general lawn grass in 
the Upper South. It is a well-balanced blend of the finest turf grasses that 
are at their best at different seasons of the year, making a rich velvety lawn 
that is green the year ‘round. Contains Kentucky Bluegrass, Highland Bent, 
Poa Trivialis, Chewing’s and Creeping Red Fescues, White Dutch Clover, 
Red Top and other fine grasses. Be sure you always ask for ‘Wood's Ever- 
green” Lawn Grass to secure the best. 
WOOD’S EMERALD PARK LAWN GRASS 
A high quality inexpensive blend with wide adaptation to soil, climate, 
sun and shade, to quickly sod permanent year ‘round home lawns, large 
areas, athletic fields, etc. It has English and Kentucky Bluegrass, White 
Dutch Clover, Red Top, Poa Trivialis, Kentucky, Chewings and Creeping Red 
Fescue, Perennial Ryegrass. Grows quickly and stays green all winter. 
WOOD’S SUPER-GREEN LAWN GRASS Registered 
There is no finer lawn grass for the Upper South, even at a much higher 
price. It produces thick, smooth sod, in sun or shade, crowding out weeds. 
A blend of only the very finest super-quality perennial grasses including 
Highland Bent and Merion Bluegrass which withstood last summer’s record 
heat and drought better than any other fine lawn grass in our tests. High- 
land is a hardy, aggressive strain of Creeping Bent grass, a strong creeper 
that makes velvety lawns like golf greens. Merion is the new ‘Wonder 
Lawn Grass” bred from Kentucky Blue, more resistant to close mowing, 
drought and leafspot that retards Ky. Blue in summer. 
Super-Green also contains: Kentucky Blue, the basic grass for fine lawns, 
at its best in spring and fall; Chewings and Creeping Red Fescues, finest 
soft, dark green leaves, spread and persist for years despite cold winters, 
dry or adverse soil conditions, shade and competition with tree roots that 
strangle most grasses; Poa Trivialis makes a fine turf even in dense shade 
or wet soils where most grasses die. These fine grasses grow off slowly. 
Red Top quickly furnishes a soft sod. Super-Green has no Ryegrass or 
coarse grass that might crowd them out, and no clover. 
WOOD’S SHADY PARK LAWN GRASS 
Few grasses thrive without sunlight. Our mixture of dwarf velvety 
grasses adapted to shade under trees and around the house, forms a fine 
soft lawn: Chewing’s and Creeping Red Fescue, Poa Trivialis, Highland 
Bent, Kentucky and English Bluegrass, Red Top, Perennial Rye grass and 
White Clover. Under trees sow thicker and apply twice as much fertilizer 
and water. 
WOOD’S DIXIE LAWN GRASS Registered 
Grows Green in Dixie Sunshine. Ideal for the Southern Coastal Area 
where most fine grasses perish from summer heat, drought and disease. 
It contains grasses that thrive during the cold months, with Carpet and 
Bermuda grass that grow vigorously during hot summers. It is the best 
lawn grass to stand heavy tramping, for steep terraces, for light, sandy, 
dry or infertile land where other grasses have failed, or where there is 
no shade. For best results use a fertilizer high in nitrogen. 
WOOD’S COASTAL LAWN GRASS 
1/3 Carpet Grass. No Bermuda or Crab Grass. Withstands intense sum- 
mer heat and drought of the Southern Coastal area, especially suited to its 
shady, low, moist or fertile spots, or soils high in humus. Produces lawns 
of luxuriant beauty that stay green the year ‘round, in sun or shade, with 
normal care. Grows off quickly with a vigorous dark green color. Forms 
a soft thick carpet that crowds out weeds. Its low creeping growth does 
not need frequent cutting. Ideal for new or old lawns, for average homes 
or exacting garden club members. Best sown in early spring, but can 
be sown the year ‘round.

like Timothy.
