 out New England, where many of the finest 

 lawns have been produced from Farquhar's Ever- 

 green Lawn Grass Seed. Price 25c per quart; 

 85c for 4 quarts; $1.50 per peck; $5.00 per bushel

 acre. One quart will sow 250 square feet. 



Farquhar's Grass Seed Mixture for Shady Places

 growing in the shade and under trees. We recom- 

 mend the use of this mixture wherever other 

 grasses on account of shade have failed to make a 

 close sward. Price 35c per quart; $1.25 for 

 4 quarts;- $2.00 per peck; $7.00 per bushel of 

 20 pounds. Transportation charges extra.
