HELP NATURE BEAUTIFY YOUR

LAWN

With your cooperation, Nature can make your lawn a velvety
green carpet.

Fall is a natural growing season for grass, but not for weeds. That
is an important fact. It means that fall sown grass will firmly es¬
tablish itself without competition from weeds.

Furthermore the seed you sow falls on warm soil, kept moist by
frequent gentle rains. It germinates with the assurance of clear sail¬
ing ahead. Conditions are all in its favor. The result is a luxuriant
growth of bright green foliage with a sturdy root system supporting
it. That is Nature’s provision against the cold weather ahead.

Those who sow in the fall can enjoy the beauty of a thick green
turf throughout the autumn for the new seeding develops into a
completed lawn before winter. At the first sign of spring it is ready
to continue growing. A lawn so well developed is fortified to stand
its ground against the summer enemies — weeds, heat and drouth.

THE PRESCRIPTION THAT HAS RROIIGHT
NEW REAIITY TO THOUSANDS OF LAWNS

All other conditions may be perfect but if the seed is not right your lawn will be
a failure. Here is where Nature needs your cooperation.

There are thousands of grass varieties but only a few are capable of producing
“Scott Lawns.” To insure success, sow Scotts Lawn Seed. It contains the fine¬
leaved grasses which provide that smooth, velvety texture. They are the deep¬
rooting kinds which produce the healthiest and strongest turf. They are perennial
varieties to make your lawn one of permanent beauty.

Not only are the seeds carefully blended but they are so thoroughly cleaned that
you do not pay good money for empty hulls, dirt and sticks. You’ll wonder how
even modern machinery can make seed so clean. Best of all it is almost 100% weed-
free — 99.91% to be exact. You’ll be comforted to know that by your own hand you
are not adding to future weed troubles.

Keep your lawn in tune with Nature. Help her most by sowing Scotts.
