A BEAUTIFUL LAWN 
It is universally conceded that nothing contributes so 
much to the beauty and attractiveness of the Home Grounds, 
the Park and the Cemetery, as a smooth, uniformly rich- 
green, well-kept lawn, which, to be perfect and a pleasure 
to walk on should have a firm, yet elastic and carpet-like 
surface. To secure this should, therefore, be the first con- 
sideration in laying out or renovating old grounds. 
Turfing with fine old pasture sod, at one time a popular 
plan of making a lawn, is now almost entirely superseded 
by seeding because of the expense and difficulty in obtaining 
good, clean turf. On the other hand, seeding is not only 
inexpensive, but is in reality the only means of securing a 
fine and permanent lawn, depending only for its complete 
success on the thoroughness with which the ground is pre- 
pared, the quality and quantity of the seed sown, and the 
subsequent care of the lawn. 
Our extensive experience in the seeding of lawns and 
exhaustive experiments with all kinds of lawn grasses have 
demonstrated beyond a doubt that many kinds are value- 
less, being too coarse or bunchy, and that one kind of grass 
alone can not be relied upon, in our climate, to produce and 
maintain a fine lawn. It is only by using a proper com- 
bination of several suitable warieties, sown liberally, that 
the most satisfactory results can be obtained. 
CURRIE’S LAWN GRASS MIXTURES are the result of 
years of study and careful observation, which, if our direc- 
tions are followed in seeding, never fail to produce quickly 
a thrifty growth of fine, velvety, rich green grass, continuous 
in verdure from early spring to winter, and creating a 
springy, dense, carpet-like turf and permanently beautiful 
lawn. 
THE QUANTITY OF SEED REQUIRED.—There is no 
fixed rule, but a liberal sowing is always satisfactory, while 
a light seeding is a waste of time and usually disappointing. 
A beautiful lawn may be produced in a few weeks, or it 
may not approach perfection for two or more seasons, ac- 
cording to the quantity of the seed sown. We have fre- 
quently, when in a hurry for a fine, close turf, sown at the 
rate of seven bushels of 20 Ibs. each to the acre with the 
most successful results, but in general the following quan- 
tities will produce the best results: 1 qt. to 250 square feet, 
1 lb. to 400 square feet, 5 Ibs. to 2,000 square feet, 20 lbs. to 
8,000 square feet, 100 lbs. per acre. For Tenovating old 
lawns, about one-half the above quantities, on the average, 
is required.
