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 iawn, 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 iaying 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plan of making a lawn, is now almost entirely superseded 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 
our exhaustive experiments with all kinds of lawn grasses 
have demonstrated beyond a doubt that many kinds are 
valueless, being too coarse or bunchy, and that one 
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 LAWN GRASS MIXTURES are the result of 
years of study and careful observation, and, if our directions 
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 OKF 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, 
according to the quantity of seed sown. When in a hurry 
for a fine, close turf, we have frequently sown at the rate 
of seven bushels of 20 Ibs each to the acre, with the most 
successful results, but in general the following quantities 
will produce the best results: 1 qt. to 250 square feet, 1 Ib. 
to 400 square feet, 5 Ibs. to 2,000 square feet, 20 Ibs. to 8,000 
square feet, 100 Ibs. per acre. For renovating old lawns, 
about one-half of the above quantities, on the average, is 
required. 
Mixtures of Lawn Grass Seeds 
Jf required by mail, add 5¢ per quart, 10c per Ib. for postage. 
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 Ibs. per bushel, while that of most mixtures is only 14 Ibs. 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 is in 
itself a guarantee against sowing weeds, as the heavier the mixture the more thoroughly 
re-cleaned have been the component grasses. Pint, 10e; quart, 20e; 1 Ib., 30e; 2% Ibs.,
