GURRIE'S LAWN GRASS SEI 



PRODUCES A RICH, THICK AND VELVETY LAWN THE FIRST SEASON. 

 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 

 plan for making a lawn, is now almost entirely superseded by 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 many kinds are valueless, 

 being too coarse or bunchy, and that one kind of grass alone 

 can not be relied upon, in our climate, to produce' and main- 

 tain a fine lawn. It is only by using a proper combination of 



several suitable varieties, sown liberally, that the most satis- 

 factory results can be obtained. 



CURRIES 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 

 iTwn** ' Carpet " Uke tUrf and Permanently beautiful 



THE QUANTITY OP 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 of Seed sown. We have frequently, when in a 



h ? r o r « y ,i° r a fine ° l0Se tUrf S0Wn at the rate of seven bushels 

 of 20 lbs. each to the acre, with the most successful results 

 but in g-eneral 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
