potatoes are raised, and thousands of carloads are shipped
every year from the counties of Holton and Aroostook alone.
Farmers and truckers in the Middle and Southern States should
renew their seed potatoes at least every two years, as by doing
so they will realize the advantage of early maturity and pro-
ductiveness.

the latter. Asthetoolis withdrawn

side of the weed, loosening the

Mann’s Evergreen Lawn Grass
PUT UP BY US AND UNDER OUR OWN FORMULA
FINE LAWNS can only be made by using the best grade of grasses. The proper blending to give satisfactory
results needs the study of years. Among some of the most beautiful lawns of Washington and its suburbs are those
sown with “Evergreen” Lawn Grass Seed.
These seeds should be covered very slightly and a roller run over the ground after sowing. Pound, 40c;
5 pounds, $1.75; 10 pounds, $3.30.
LAWN GRASS FOR SHADY PLACES AND UNDER TREES. A selection of grasses that thrive well in
shaded situations, under tree, or close to walls, where there is little sun. Pound, 45c; 5 pounds, $2.00; 10
pounds, $3.50.
Lawn and Garden Fertilizer
Old and New Lawns Require Stimulating after the long drag through winter, or in the fall, after the season of
cutting and the heat of summer. For this purpose our high-grade Bone Meal is best adapted to the wants of the
lawn. It should be sown broadcast from the middle of February to the first of May for spring, and from Septem-
ber to November in the fall. In preparing a new lawn use a liberal quantity and rake it in thoroughly before
sowing the seed. Ten pounds sow enough for 250 square feet. Ten pounds, 50c; 25 pounds, $1.00; 100 pounds,
$2.75; 167-pound bag, $4.00.
PULVERIZED SHEEP MANURE FOR LAWNS. Two pounds, 15c; 5 pounds, 30c; 25 pounds, $1.00; 50
pounds, $1.50; 100-lb. bag, $2.50.
SHREDDED COW MANURE, 25 pound bag, $1.00; 100 pounds, $2.50. Special prices in ton lots.
