V 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 plan of making a lawn, is now almost entirely superseded 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 obtain- 

 ing 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 pro- 

 duce and maintain a fine lawn. It is only by using a proper 



combination of several suitable varieties, sown liberally, 



that the most satisfactory results can be obtained. 



CURRIE'S LAWS 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 mav be produced in a few weeks, or it 

 may not approach perfection for two or more seasons, 

 according 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 lbs. each to the acre with the 

 most successful results, but in gener"! the following quan- 

 tities will produce the best results; t. to 250 square feet, 

 1 lb. to 400 square feet, 5 lbs. to 2,00*. square feet, 20 lbs. 

 to 8,000 square feet, 100 lbs. per acre. For renovating old 

 lawns, about one-half the above quantities, on the average, 

 is required.

CURRIE'S SPECIAL MIXTURE — This splendid mixture is composed of only the finest dwarf-growing evergreen grasses; 

 absolutely free from weed seeds or other impurities; especially adapted and mixed in the proper proportion to suit the 

 American climate. In comparing the cost of our Special Lawn Grass with other mixtures sent out by the trade, remember 

 that the natural weight per measured bushel of our mixture is 20 lbs. per bushel, while that of most mixtures is 

 only 14 lbs. per bushel. To obtain this exceptionally heavy weight per 

 bushel, we must and do use only the heaviest and best samples of the 

 various grasses which compose our mixture. This in itself is a guar- 

 antee against sowing weeds, and as the heavier the mixture the more 

 thoroughly recleaned have been the component grasses. 1 lb., 22c; 

 5 lbs., $1.10; 20 lbs., $4.00; 100 lbs. . ... 20 00
