of Domestic Rye Grass and White Clover 
Where lateness of season, poor soil, or other conditions prevent one from making a permanent lawn, 
we recommend using a mixture of Domestic Rye 95% and White Clover 5%. Use 5 to 6 Ibs. per 1000 
sq. ft. When ready for the permanent lawn, this may be turned under. You thereby not only improve 
the physical condition of the soil by incorporating this green manure into it, but also increase the fer- 
tility content. Before reseeding permanently, apply a 10-6-4 lawn fertilizer at the rate of 10 Ibs. per 
1000 sq. ft. Grass Seed Mixture containing 95% Domestic Rye and 5% White Clover, Ib. 45 cts.; 10 
Liberty Meadow Grass Fertilizer 
Fertilize your meadows and pasture areas with a complete 
fertilizer known as 5-10-5. It contains 5% nitrogen, 10% 
phosphoric acid and 5% potash. Apply as early as possible in 
the spring. Use 1200 Ibs. per acre. 80 Ibs. $4.00; 800 Ibs. 
$35.00; 2000 Ibs. $77.00. 
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 garden. 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.
