Right Seed Is Key
To Good Lawns

Selection OF seed mixtures for
the scores OF new lawns for new

~ important. Il Vas pointed out
Thursday BY c. =. T. Rowe OF
Tacoma Seed Co.
Good preparation Of soil for a
lawn will be Of little benefit unless
a proper mixture OF seed Is Sc
lected for your particular locality"
he said.
In as small an area a. this city
there are dozens OF different con-
ditions affecting the successful de-
velopment Of lawns - differences
in base soil. differences in drain
age. differences in the amount Of
shade and exposure to sunshine.
1T IL far better economy 10
spend few extra pennies on q
high quality seed and have a sat
isfactory lawn for many years
than to sacrifice quality for tenn
porary savings offered by inferior
mixtures containing more or less
large quantities of filler seed.
a mixture containing two or
more base grasses and one nurse
grass is generally ideal for our
local conditions. We are always
glad to advise in the selection OF
special mixtures to meet special
conditions"

Poole S Offers
Lawn Pamphlet

Since some little skill is required
to properly prepare the soil for a
new lawn and to seed it and bring
il through to verdant maturity.
Pooles Seed a. Implement Co. has
brought out pamphlet which is
available on request to anyone in
terested.
This small publication covers
every essential detail of develop
ing a good lawn and maintaining
it. As the puthor points out:
mo other single feature has so
much to do with making the home
grounds attractive and inviting as
a well-kept lawn.
"Since the materials required TO
make and maintain one are not
necessarily expensive, and because
the art of making and caring for
it is easily mastered, every home
should have beautiful lawn"
1t is pointed out that now is an
ideal time to seed new lawn
as the older lawns are now max
ing good growth, there is adequate
moisture and sufficient warmth
with almost no danger now o.
damaging frosts.
