THE PRIZE GARDENS OF 1905 
GOWN MISS C. H. LIPPINCOTT'S kowen steps 
WITH FLOWER SEEDS 
“The Seeds That Keep Faith With You” 
FIRST PRIZE $20 Was given Mrs. Geo. W. Crane, of 833 Harrison Street, Topeka, Kansas, for the finest lawn and flowers 
grown from Miss Lippincott seeds in 1905. She spent less than $5 to produce such results—the beautiful 
‘Salvia hedge is alone worth five times that amount. Ass her home occupies the most prominent residence lot in town, facing the State House 
Park, this beautiful lawn has naturally attracted much attention. Mrs. Crane has always found my seeds free germinaters, resulting in 
flowers much healthier than the average, due to my always providing fresh seeds. 
George Tanner, Albion, Pa., was awarded 
another of the fifteen $1 pnzes. This beauti- 
ful lawn and terrace, 210 feet long, were pro- 
duced by a bushel of my lawn mixture. The 
terrace is at an angle of 45 degrees. Yet 
in six weeks it was ready to mow. 
Mrs. T. W. Moulton, South Road, Athol, 
ass., was awarded one of the three second 
prizes of $10. This wealth of bloom was 
secured with $2 worth of seeds without the 
aid of a hot house. The picture, she writes 
me, does not do the flowers justice. 
Mrs. Elizabeth Armstrong, 1087 Parker 
Ave., Chicago, was awarded one of the fifteen 
$1 prizes. With less than a dollar's outlay, she 
transformed a back yard, with soil none too 
rich, into this bower of beauty, and has brought 
pleasure to many an invalid with its treasures.

Time To Think About Your Lawn 
The rarest flowers and plants, the most sightly beds lose much of their charm = 
unless surrounded by stretches of soft velvety turf. A beautiful lawn itself is 
enough to make a home attractive. If you are making a new lawn this 
spring or reseeding the old, you want my famous Lawn Grass Seed—a careful 
mixture of various grasses best adapted to produce a permanent satisfying turf. 
Per quart, 25 cents; two quarts, 45 cents; peck, $1.15; bushel, $4.00. 
Peck or bushel by express at purchaser's expense. A bushel will seed 
one fourth acre and other quantities in like proportion. April first is the 
best time to make lawn—be prepared.
