 HIS MAJESTY KING GEORGE V 



IF YOU have travelled in England you have noticed the 

 beautiful, velvety thickness of English lawns. Their char- 

 acter is due to centuries of careful selection and growing of 

 seeds, achieving a purity and quality in grasses not found else- 

 where in the world. 



The most notable gardens and lawns in England are sown 



and renovated with CARTER'S TESTED GRASS SEED. 



Of late years, CARTER'S SEEDS have been used widely 



in America, and have produced magnificent results on hundreds 



of private estates and clubs. 



More than Three Hundred golf courses in the United States, 

 including all championship courses, use CARTER'S Grasses. 

 So do practically all the well-known courses throughout Europe, 

 as well as in Great Britain. This is significant — because nowhere 

 is there such an exacting test of grass seed as on a golf course. 

 Learn the CARTER'S SYSTEM of Making and Improv- 

 ing Lawns. Write for The American Edition of "CARTER'S 

 PRACTICAL GREENKEEPER," which is replete with val- 

 uable information on the making, renovating and care of grassy 

 lands. Mailed Free. 



Catalog of the famous CARTER'S Tested Flower and 

 Vegetable Seeds will also be sent Free on Request. Prices are 

 in American Money.
