^ • The Seeding and Care of Golf Courses . 



In presenting this general discussion on the care of the 

 golf course, we do not disguise the fact that our calling is 

 the distribution of seed. Our experience in this business ex- 

 tends back to the time when golf aroused no more fervor 

 here than does American baseball in England. 



A knowledge of seed itself, and the conditions under 

 which it is raised, bought and cleaned, are quite essential 

 to an intelligent handling of seed, whether it ultimately be 

 sown in a pasture field, a public park, or on a private lawn 

 or a golf course. Whatever the purpose for which it is used, 

 there are always certain qualities that characterize good 

 seed. To us, these qualities include not merely good germi- 

 nation, but also freedom from adulterations, weed seeds 

 and chaff. 



Our ambition is to merit recognition as good seed distrib- 

 utors by consistently maintaining quality and rendering 

 helpful service.
