ASIATIC LILIES
We buy large top quality lily bulbs as we feel they
are your best investment towards years of reliable
service. Not all lilies are perfectly winter hardy in our
climate. Therefore they should be planted in a spot
getting lots of snow cover during the winter. Or plant
near the foundation of a house, or cover with mulch
to give the bulbs extra winter protection. Lilies may
also be lifted in the fall and stored indoors like Dahlia
tubers.
Set the bulbs 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8”) deep, in welldrained soil. Use peat moss when planting. Keep
the base of the plant mulched to keep the roots
cool.

WATER LILIES
Waterplants are a necessity for a well-balanced pool.
They provide oxygen for the fish and screen sunlight
to reduce algae growth. Some compete with algae
for food and can actually starve out the algae and
ensure clear water. All this and waterplants are quite
decorative. In our climate take waterplants indoors
for the winter and store in a plastic bag in a cool spot.

CORN
Since corn should be, for maximum flavour, eaten as
soon as it is picked, plant your seed in succession,
or select 3 or 4 different varieties with varying

Sow about 2 cm (3/4”) deep in rows 60 cm (24”)
apart, later thinning to around 15 cm (6”) apart in
the row. Plant in blocks or banks to ensure good
pollination. Don’t plant too early; the soil must be

TOMATOES
Start seeds indoors in a bright spot, or under lights
around April 1st. Transfer the seedlings to a cooler
area to allow them to become stocky and hardy, and
to withstand transplant shock. After frost, set out 45
to 60 cm (18 to 24”) apart in rows 90 cm (36”) apart.
For stronger roots and more drought-resistant plants,
transplant the seedlings. Deeply or on an angle.
Use hotkaps to guard against frosts. Water well and
evenly and fertilize regularly. “Determinate” varieties
are generally earlier, and more compact, and have
limited vine growth; and their fruit ripens more evenly
over a shorter period. “Indeterminate” types usually
require staking with 1 or 2 side shoots. Fruit is also
borne continuously over a longer period.

PREMIER LAWN GRASS
We feature lawn seed specially suited to Prairie weather and soil. Only top quality grass seed is used in
Lindenberg’s Premier brand lawn grass. You can buy cheaper seed, but it could take longer to fill in, or
winter kill more easily.
NEW LAWNS: The soil should be well cultivated, finely pulverized and levelled. Rolling it will show up those
hollows that need to be filled. Plant a small area at a time and divide your seed so that the recommended
quantity is applied to that area. Lightly rake or reroll. Keep the surface moist but not soaked, with several
light, fine-spray waterings, rather than a few heavy applications, until the seed has germinated and taken
root (usually 14-21 days depending on the weather). Then, watering should become heavier but at longer
intervals. It is best to sow grass when weather conditions are moist and moderately cool (i.e. early spring, or
very early fall). However, grass can be sown anytime if it has the moisture it needs. Lawns are heavy feeders
and should therefore be fertilized regularly after the first year.
TO RENEW OLD LAWNS: Loosen up the bald spots with a rake, apply a top dressing of soil, and sow the
seed at 500 g to 45 square meters (450 square feet). Then follow the same procedure as new lawns.
Note: Rates quoted are approximate only. They can be varied considerably according to personal
preference.
H PREMIER 909 FINE TURF
Canada No. 1 Lawn Grass Mixture
APPROXIMATE BLEND:
Kentucky Blue Grass .................................... 40%
Creeping Red Fescue ................................... 45%
Annual Rye ................................................... 15%
This is our most popular mixture. It has been a
proven performer on the Prairies for many years.
Premier “909” stands up to traffic and winter
conditions better than many other mixtures, yet
with a little moisture and care it looks great! The
Kentucky Blue grass provides the fine-bladed
grass whereas the Creeping Red Fescue is a
hardier strain that blends well with the Kentucky
Blue. Because the Kentucky Blue Grass accounts
for relatively less than the other varieties in the
mixture, 909 makes a hardier lawn requiring a
minimum of care. The Annual Rye provides a
cover crop for the first year to allow the other 2
varieties to become well established. Sow 500 g
to 30 square meters (275 square feet). A 2 kg bag
covers 120 square meters (1100 square feet).
