DIFFERENT GRASSES FOR VARIOUS SOILS— Because no one kind of grass produces a lawn which will keep green through the entire year, we have a number of different kinds of mixtures. If you have a satisfactory summer lawn, then our Winter Grass Mixture may be used to produce a winter lawn. Winter lawns must be reseeded every year, unless they are allowed to go to seed in the spring before cutting, which is not usually done. For shady spots, plant our Shady Mixture. Ber

If you have a satisfactory summer lawn, then our Winter Grass Mixture may be used to produce a winter lawn. Winter lawns must be reseeded every year, unless they are allowed to go to seed in the spring before cutting, which is not usually done. For shady spots, plant our Shady Mixture. Bermuda will not grow in shady spots. In semi- shade Bermuda will grow, if given plenty of plant food and water. LAWNS —AND HOW TO BUILD THEM Good seeds, good plant food, cultivation and attention repay you many times. Rebuilding an Old Lawn—If soil is tight and weedy it may be necessary to plow up and harrow. Fertilizers which cause top greening without value to the root system, coarsen and damage the turf. If lawn is of i5ermuda grass, roots will come back after ploughing and harrowing and form a satisfactory turf in the spring, although reseeding greatly improves quality. Fertilize thoroughly with Vig- oro, and never use cheap, unbalanced fertilizers on your lawn. Building a New Lawn—Save six or eight inches of top soil and carefully replace after grading. Harrow and rake this top soil until pulverized and level, then apply Vigoro Plant Food at the rate of 4 lbs. to 100 square feet, sow the grass seed, then rake and harrow, and roll if pos- sible. Keep ground well watered and ap- ply Vigoro at least twice during the first season. This may be done either in Spring or Fall. Lawn Grass Seed Magnolia Shady Lawn Mixture—A mix- ture of grasses that thrive in shade, under trees or close to walls. Remem- ber that trees use a lot of plant food. Your lawn under trees, therefore, must be given much more plant food and mois- ture. 1 lb. to 200 sq. ft. Lb. 900—2 Lbs. $—10
