LAWN SEEDS

T

3 HE LAWN — the most important feature in the development of the home grounds — furnishes the setting for the h ouse and puts the finishing touch to an attractive home.

It is a well-known fact that a well-balanced combination of grasses will give better results than a separate variety. Various grasses in mixture will help crowd out weeds. Often a separate variety of seed will not thrive on certain soil but where there is a combination of seeds, one or more varieties in the combination will surely thrive and our formulas are so well blended that they will give very satisfactory results. Liberal and frequent applications are advised, especially on new ground, in order to produce a satisfactory, velvety lawn, which is always much admired.

The careful preparation of the soil and the very best seed you can buy are the two most important factors in the making of a really fine lawn. The first step is a very im¬ portant one. At least two inches of good top soil are necessary.

The next and most important factor is the quality of the seed you sow; unless you produce absolutely the best, your trouble in preparing the soil is wasted. Our special Lawn Mixtures are of supreme quality and assure you that won¬ derful, rich, deep green, closely interwoven, lasting turf.

For new lawns sow the seed at the rate of one pound to every 100 square feet of surface, for old lawns sow at the rate of one pound to every 300 to 500 square feet, all depending upon the condition of the turf.

NOTE — Your lawn should be fertilized at least once every year, preferably in the Spring. For new or old lawns use WHITE ROSE PLANT FOOD, the perfect Plant Food for Lawns, Flowers and Gardens.

GLADIOLI (Sword Lilies)

We offer only our Gold Medal Mixture for spring.

HOW TO GROW GLADIOLI — Plant them as soon as the soil is in condition to be worked prop¬ erly, in full exposure to the sun, in any well-enriched garden soil, avoiding direct contact with manure, which should ever be used fresh (have it well-rotted); in fact, it is better to thoroughly manure the soil in the fall and respade in the spring. Where the soil is stiff clay, fill the drill rows with sandy loam. Water when necessary during the early stages of growth and again when the buds show color. After planting, a light dressing of three parts ashes and one part bone-meal will be beneficial. The bulbs may be placed in double rows 2 inches apart in a 4-inch drill, 2, 3 and 4 inches deep, according to size. Plant from the middle of April to the end of May and in June. To secure a succession of bloom¬ ing, make two or even three plantings, at intervals of about two weeks. Before the ground freezes, dig up the bulbs, cut off the stalk close, and store in a cool, dry place. The old bulb, or more properly speaking, corm, may be removed a few weeks later when convenient.

We are offering our trade for spring planting our Gold Medal Mixture of Gladioli Bulbs, which consists of a great number of the most popular varieties. These are fine bulbs and, in order that everybody may enjoy them, we have priced them at unheard of low prices, considering the quality

has every element to insure success, for it combines the vigor, beauty and hardiness of Paul's Scarlet Climber, with the ever- blooming qualities of a favorite ever-blooming rose, and this Rose received the Certificate of Merit at the Bagatelle Gar¬ dens in France — the highest award for a climber.

DOUBLOONS (Plant Patent No. 152). Doubloons is a radiant yellow Climber — just what Rose-lovers have wanted or years. It is a descendant of our own American wild Prairie Rose. The large golden yellow blooms, fairly double, literally cover the plant for a long period, with an inclination to repeat in mid-summer. They are quite perfumed. Hardy and vigorous, it grows with long heavy canes. Doubloons is a yellow Climber for which no apology or special growing method will ever be necessary. Grows 12 feet in a season, and the following year every eye along the stems will send a cluster of blooms. In our opinion, Doubloons is by far the best all-purpose yellow Climber yet produced. Retails at $1.50 each.
