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

EVER-BLOOMING CUMBERS
BLAZE — The Sensation of 1933. Plant patent No. 10. Blaze
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.
Now $1.00
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.
