A Beautiful Lawn and How to Make It 
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 consideration in 
laying out or renovating old grounds. 
Turfing with fine old pasture sod, at one time a popular 
method of making a lawn, is now almost entirely superseded 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 inex- 
pensive 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 prepared, the 
quality and quantity of the Seed sown, and the subsequent 
care of the lawn. 
Our extensive experience in the seeding of lawns and ex- 
haustive experiments with all kinds of lawn grasses have 
demonstrated beyond a doubt that while many kinds are 
valueless, being too coarse or bunchy or otherwise unsuitable, 
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 combination of several suitable varieties, sown liber- 
ally, that satisfactory results can be obtained. 
CURRIE’S LAWN GRASS MIXTURES are the result of 
years of study and careful observation, and, if our directions 
are followed in seeding, they 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 
Spray, dense; carpet-like turf and permanently beautiful 
awn. 
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 beau- 
tiful lawn may be produced in a few weeks, or it may not ap- — 
proach perfection for two or more seasons, according to the 
quantity ot Seed sown. When in a hurry for a fine, close 
turf, we have frequently sown at the rate of seven bushels 
of 20 lbs. each to the acre, with the most gratifying results, 
but in general the following quantities will produce the best 
results: 1 quart to 250 square feet; 1 pound to 400 square 
feet; 5 pounds to 2,000 square feet; 20 pounds to 8,000 square 
feet; 100 pounds per acre. For renovating old lawns about 
one-half the above quantities, on the average, is required.
