NON-WARRANTY. We give no
warranty, express or implied, as to
description, quality, productiveness or
any other matter of any seeds, bulbs,
or plants we send out, and will not be
responsible for the crop. As bearing
on the above, the following remarks,
taken from a recent Bulletin of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture, are
interesting: "Without attempting to
discuss the arguments for the seeds¬
man’s disclaimer pro and con. the fact
remains that reputable seedsmen stand
back of their seeds and do not knowingly
and willfully sell seeds that are unfit
for planting purposes.”

LAWN SEED PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS

(Provided you use permanent sorts which are
high priced without timothy). If much timothy is
mixed in cheaper lawn grass, replanting should be
done every year.

GRADE SOIL.

PERFORATE OR SPADE SOIL 5 to 8 INCHES.
FERTILIZE SOIL.

RAKE SOIL SMOOTH.

BROADCAST (sow) GRASS SEED THICKLY.
RAKE SEED IN. ROLL OR POUND.

WATER LIGHTLY— RAIN EFFECT SPRINKLER.
SEEDING TIME: APRIL TO NOVEMBER.

Fall seeding is preferable — gives the lawn a
weedless start for the spring.

Don’t cut young grass too close.

Rojl every week.

Keep soil continually aereated — with sand—
TOP DRESSING and frequent hard iron raking or
spiking.

THE EARTH MUST BREATHE— otherwise
you will have a cement patch instead of a soft
carpet.

Top dress every- two months with top soil,
humus or peat moss a little sand and fertilizer, and
a few handsful of lawn seed. About a pailful of
each all mixed together to be sprinkled and raked
evenly all over the lawn.

After you have a lawn — soak it — don't
sprinkle it lightly. SUNSHINE may burn a lawn —
watering in the shade will show results. Water
thoroughly every few days — not a few minutes
every evening. Remember, wholesale dealers pay
as high as $1.00 a pound for certain Bent and
imported Grasses for turf purposes, therefore the
higher the price, the better your lawn.
