F you want to tread exultantly on a soft, 

 springy, rich, velvety turf, you must sow bet- 

 ter grass seed than you can commonly buy. 



There is as much difference in seeds as there 

 is in hats or shoes. 



Much of the grass seed sold weighs only six- 

 teen pounds to the bushel because it contains 

 chaff and light weight seeds. Our lawn mixture 

 weighs twenty-two pounds to the bushel, indicat- 

 ing the complete absence of chaff, and is com- 

 posed of the finest and purest seeds that it is 

 possible to secure. 



Different grasses are at their best at different 

 times. Our seed is carefully mixed so that the 

 kinds composing it succeed one another in bright- 

 ness of foliage with the result that the lawn, 

 even in its first year, will have that bright rich 

 green appearance from early Spring until covered 

 with snow in Winter. 



We have given this branch of our business 

 years of careful study and believe our mixture 

 is as perfect, scientifically and practically, as study 

 and experimenting can make it. 



Our grass seed is used on such notable estates 



as those of W. K. Vanderbilt, John A. McCall, C. D. 



Wetmore, William Waldorf Astor, Whitelaw Reid, 



Cornelius N. Bliss, Clarence Mackey, Ogden Mills, 



and E. D. Morgan. In order to acquaint the readers of The Garden Magazine with the excellence of our lawn seed we make this inducement. On orders

DIANTHUS PERPETUAL SNOW 



ANEW Hardy Pink that excels all others, It 

 forms a dense tuft of attractive, grass-like 

 glacuous green leaves, from which are constantly 

 thrown up, on slender, wiry stems, large fringed 

 pure white flowers — richly clove scented — from 

 early spring until the ground freezes. If placed 

 one foot apart, the plants quickly cover the ground 

 and the flowers are produced in such great num- 

 bers as to present the appearance, at times, of 

 enveloping the plants in a white blanket. The 

 flowers closely resemble fine, white carnations and 

 are as sweetly fragrant. The plants are absolute- 

 ly hardy and from a few square feet devoted to 

 them a lovely bouquet may be gathered every day 

 for fully six months. Perpetual Snow is but one 

 of a thousand varieties of beautiful flowers which 

 are described and priced in my catalogue of 

 Hardy Perennial Plants.

NOTHING for the cost will add so much cheer to the home grounds and make them attractive 

 and interesting, from early spring until late in the fall, as Hardy Perennial Plants ; yielding, as 

 they do, a wealth of flowers of an almost endless variety of form and color, not only during the 

 year planted, but for many years — from a single planting. They supply flowers to brighten and 

 embellish the dining table, the parlor and the sickroom, as well as the garden and lawn. They 

 flourish in almost every soil, need but little care and require no special knowledge to succeed with 

 them. That those who have never ordered of me may, at a small outlay, learn of the excellence of 

 my Hardy Perennial Plants, I offer the following special collections by mail, postpaid ; all well de- 

 veloped plants that will bloom freely the first season:
