The Preparation and Care of a Lawn
A well cared for lawn adds more than any other one
thing to the attractiveness of the home grounds and
not only this, it increases the value of property by
much more than the mere expense of securing the lawn.
There are a few simple rules which, if followed consis¬
tently, will be certain to bring good results.
The ground must first be thoroughly prepared by
draining, if necessary, and spade or plow to the depth
of 6 to 12 inches, according to the nature of the soil,
applying a liberal quantity of well decomposed manure,
bonemeal or pulverized sheep manure, the latter we
recommend as being lasting in effect, not liable to burn
the grass and free from weeds. Clean the ground
thoroughly and rake perfectly smooth and level, as
much of the success depends upon this part of the
preparation. The seed should be sown on a calm day,
that it may be applied evenly, and at the rate of 100
pounds per acre, or one pound is sufficient for 400
square feet. After the seed is sown the ground should
be rolled with a light roller or evenly tamped with the
back of a spade. The plot should be mowed every ten
days from May until September, using a sharp scythe
in preference to a mower until a close turf is formed.
Frequent mowing and rolling is necessary to maintain
a close, even turf. April and September are the best
months for sowing lawn seed.
Park Lawn Grass Mixture
In our lawn mixture we use only the highest quality; extra clean seed and free from weed seeds which abound
in inferior grades. We use only the choicest low-growing grasses, and a lawn produced from our seeds will main¬
tain a rich, dark velvety appearance and a permanent sod. One pound will sow 400 square feet.

Three Outstanding Novelties for 1933
New Double Sweet Scented
Nasturtium — Golden Gleam
The plant forms a vigorous, large bush which throws out short
runners, averaging eighteen inches. The flowers commence as soon
as the plant nears complete development, and at the time it is
in full bloom the entire plant, including the runners, is a blaze of
color. The large golden yellow flowers average two and one-half
to three inches across. They are borne on erect, stiff stems, six
inches in length. Consequently the flowers stand well above the
foliage, an arrangement which adds immeasureably to the showy
appearance of the plant.
When well grown, the remarkable formation of the petals gives
the flowers a fully double appearance which is most attractive.
An ordinary sized bouquet, when allowed to remain in a room for
a short period of time, will fill the room with fragrance.
Nasturtium, Golden Gleam Pkt. 15c., large pkt. 50c., oz. $1.00
Marigold — Guinea Gold
A distinct type of graceful pyramidal growth, 2 to 23^ ft. high,
flowers 2 to 23^ inches in diameter, brilliant orange with double
ruffled loose petals; desirable as a cut flower. The usual Marigold
fragrance is largely eliminated.
Pkt. 25c., large pkt. 50c., 34 oz. 75c.
Venidium fastuosum
( Monarch of the V eldt )
Large, brilliant orange flowers, three inches across, with a black-
purple zone at the base of the ray-petals and a dark center with a
gray-green, wool-like tuft. The plants grow 2 to 3 ft. tall and
bloom from Midsummer until frost. The foliage is a soft gray and
forms a splendid background. Fine for garden display and for
growing under glass.

Sweet Peas
The proper time to spade the garden for Sweet Peas is in the
Fall, as the longer the soil remains in the rough state the better.
Give a liberal dressing of well-rotted stable manure, ground
bone and a dusting of lime. Spade to a depth of 6 or 8 inches
and allow soil to remain in the rough without chopping down.
When sowing seed, see that the soil is firmly trodden down, as
Sweet Peas require not only a deep soil but a firm one. Seed
should always be sown early in Spring 1 inch deep, and when
plants are well up thin to 2 to 4 inches apart. Pinch out tops to
start branching. Support should be given early before plants
get twisted. When hot, dry weather begins, see that the plants
are well mulched and well watered. Look out for green aphis
and keep clean by spraying with solution of tobacco extract.
Care must be taken to keep flowers picked, as the forming of
seed pods will stop blooming.
