A 



Beautiful 



Lawn 



Is to the house as the 

 setting to a gem. A 

 beautiful home beauti- 

 fully located, deserves 

 a beautiful lawn sur- 

 rounding it. Ordinary 

 grass seed or sod will 

 not do. You must get 



Waterer's Special Evergreen Lawn Grass 



to get best results. It is the best that money can buy — the result of 30 

 years' experience in lawn making in Europe and America. It is a blend 

 of ten of the finest dwarf-growing, slender-leaved, hardy grasses — early, 

 medium and late (practically evergreen) and all of them of permanent 

 character (not annual), and all tested for the trying American climate.

The New Roses You Should Plant This Year 



Each year, when new roses are introduced, I buy plants and bloom them in my own garden — 

 this gives me a chance to know just what they will do under ordinary garden culture. Besides 

 these I have introduced a number of roses that I have grown from seedlings. 



My collection now includes the truly desirable sorts for rose gardens everywhere. Here you 

 will find the finest of the Hybrid Perpetuals, the Dainty Teas, and Hybrid Teas, the Wichura- 

 ianas and the new climbing roses. 



My 1914 Novelties include Alexander Hill Gray (T.\ lemon-yellow; British Queen (H.T.), 

 white; Chiissie McKellar (H. T.), crimson-carmine; Duchess of Sutherland (H. T.), rose 

 pink; Earl of Gosford (H. T.), dark crimson; Geoffery Hentlow (H. T.), orange-crimson; 

 George Elger (Poly.), coppery yellow; Irish Fireflame, orange and crimson; Lady Alice 

 Stanley (H. T.), coral red and flesh; Louise-Catherine Breslau (H. T.), coral red; Madame 

 Charles Lutand (H. T.), yellow and scarlet; Madame Edouard Herroit, terra cotta; Moon- 

 light (H. T.), white, flushed lemon; Mrs. A. Kingsmill. pink and rose; Queen Mary (H. T.) t 

 yellow and carmine; Source d'Or (Cl.Wich.), golden yellow; Willowmere (H.T.), shrimp pink. 



The plants I offer are two years old, grown in the fields about my gardens, and will bloom 

 the first summer after planting. All first quality plants. 



My catalog differs from the ordinary rose catalog and if you are planning a rose garden 

 I will send you a copy free. Write me today about your plans.

Seed Your Lawn This Spring with 

 Pedigreed Kentucky Blue Grass Seed 



While the ordinary blue grass seeds of commerce doubtless contain some traces of the 

 original Kentucky stock, the addition of common seeds, made necessary because of the high 

 cost of pure stock, is so great as to rob them of their essential character and to produce poor 

 imitations of the blue grass lawns as grown in "Old Kentucky." 



In order to preserve the purity and to maintain the prestige of the genuine Kentucky 

 Blue Grass, the management of the greatest farms in Central Kentucky have arranged with 

 the Kentucky State Agricultural College to test every lot of their seed which is then shipped 

 direct to the consumer in officially sealed bags. 



KENTUCKY THOROBRED 

 BLUE GRASS SEED 



is the yield of "Elmendorf, Walnut Hall, Woodburn, 

 Hamburg Place and Castleton, five of the greatest 

 farms in America, comprising more than 25,000 acres 

 of the finest Blue Grass soil and famous for their 

 thoroughbred stock and their wonderful farm and 

 dairy produce. This seed has all been tested by the 

 experts nf the State Agricultural College and is 

 guaranteed for purity, germination and rugged 

 growing power. Its production has been as scien- 



tifically conducted as the production of thoroughbred 

 live stock. Seed your lawn with this seed and you 

 will secure the most beautiful stand of grass that can 

 be grown. It will be uniform, free from weeds and 

 common grasses, fine and velvety in texture and 

 very tenacious of life. The official seal of the grow- 

 ers and the tests of the State College are your guar- 

 antee. Order at once as the seeding season 

 Is at hand. 



Prices by Parcel Post, Prepaid 



85e per lb. S lbs. for $t.OO (enough to seed 900 to 1200 so., ft)
