Lawn, Grass and Clover Seeds DIRECTIONS FOB MAKING A LAWN The ground should first be spaded over, or plowed to a depth of 8 or 10 inches, and should then be leveled to the proper grade. A good plan is to let it lay for several weeks and water thoroughly. This will give a chance for many of the weed seeds in the ground to sprout, and these can be hoed off as they come up. After the weeds have been removed, rake the surface with a fine rake, and sow the seed broadcast: Blue Grass seed at the rate of 1 lb. to 200 sq. ft, or White Clover seed at the rate of 1 lb. to 300 sq. ft. When both grass and clover are used, they are generally sown one-third clover to two-thirds Blue Grass. It is better to sow them separately, however, going over the ground first -with one and then with the other; as in this way they can be sown more evenly than if the seeds are mixed together. After the seed has been sown, it should be covered with about half an inch of good mulch. This is very essential, especially during the hot weather, as it is necessary that the surface be kept continually moist, giving the seed an opportunity to germinate. The best thing to use for a mulch is thoroughly rotted manure, which has been passed through a fine screen. Great care should be taken in selecting this, and it should be taken from a pile that has been thoroughly heated, so that all the -weed seeds are killed. When any other kind of manure is used, it will only bring weed seeds into the lawn. For small lawns, burlap is often used in place of a mulch. This is spread out over the surface of the ground, the watering being done over the burlap, which can be removed after the seed has germinated. Burlap is especially valuable on steep banks or slopes, as it both keeps the surface moist, and also prevents the seed from washing out. Watering a newly sown lawn should be done very carefully, and with a fine spray, and as often as is necessary to keep the surface perfectly moist at all times of the day, until the seed has germinated. After the lawn is five or six weeks old, it will be necessary to weed it, as even with the best of care there are bound to be some weeds produced from seeds which have been lying dormant in the ground or blown in from vacant lots, etc. This should be done carefully, pulling out all weeds by the roots. . To keep a lawn in good condition it should be fertilized at least once a year with a dressing of a good commercial lawn fertilizer. Note.—Express or freight charges are not prepaid. Lawn seeds can be sent by parcel post at cheaper rates than my "postpaid" price. Where quantities of lawn seeds are ordered to be sent by parcel post, remit for the first pound at the "postpaid" rate, to cover postage and packing charges, and for the remainder at the rate quoted by "express" or "freight" and add the correct parcel post charge to your zone. This parcel post charge must be sent additional, or seeds will be sent by express. For information, see parcel post schedule on first page of catalogue. KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS.
