TO LOVERS  OP FINE  LAWNS 

Attempts  have  been made  to  surround  the making 
of  lawns  with mystery.  It has  been  implied 
that to  few has  power  been granted  to  produce 
the kind  of velvet-like  turf  in which  so many 
home  lovers  delight. 

If  there  is magic  in lawn making  it lies  in 
practical  things  like  - good  soil, a well  pre-
pared  seed bed, ample  plant  food  of  the  proper 
kind and  pure  seed  of  the  correct  varieties. 

The  first  two  prerequisites  depend  upon  your 
efforts  and  there  is ample  data  to  guide  you. 
The  last  two  we  can  supply  especially  well. 
Our  business  is devoted  to  their  preparation. 

Most  of  our  selling  is done  direct  to  the  user 
but at Yalesville  we ar represented  by  Barnese 
Brothers  Nursery  where  Scott
Builder may always  be obtained.  Won't you be 
sure  to remember  this  convenient  source  of 
supply  for these  sure  guides  to a better  lawn?

Gentlemen: 

For  m a ny   years  I have  b e en   actively   interested 
in   the  maintenance   of  the   lawn  surrounding  the  H o me 
Offices  of  this  C o m p a n y,  and  in the   improvement  of 
the  golf   course  of  the   Illini  Country  C l u b. 

Y/e have  used  lawn  seed  furnished  by   your 

Company  extensively  for  a  number  of  years  and  found 
it  to   be   of  uniform   high  qualify   and  d e p e n d a b i l i t y. 
The  results  w h i ch  we   have  obtained  speak  for  the 
s e e d. 

I  have  no  hesitation whatever   in  recommending 

it8  use  to   anyone  seeking  beauty   and  hardihood  in 
a  lawn,  for  our  experience  w i th   it  has  b e en   eminently 
satisfactory. 

Very  truly  yours, 

NOTE:  The  Franklin  Life  Insurance  Company  has  one 
of  the  most  beautiful  lawns  we  have  ever  seen.

r  I 'HATS  what  the  owner  of  the  home  shown  here 
thinks  of  the grass which  you  see  stretching  out  like 
a great velvet  carpet  to greet the multitude  of motorists on 
the  busy  Lakeshore  road  near  Ashtabula,  Ohio*  This 
lawn  like thousands  of  others that  are loved  by the  whole 
family from kids to mother, was  made with  SCOTT'S  SEED.
