Carrie's Lawn Grass Sown in Fall Produces a Good Lawn Early the Following 



Season. 

 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 consideration in laying out or renovating old grounds. 



Turfing with fine old pasture sod, atone time a popular plan of making a lawn, is now almost entirely superseded 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 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 exhaustive experiments with all kinds of lawn grasses have 

 demonstrated beyond a doubt that many kinds are valueless, being too course 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 pro- 

 per combination of several suitable varieties, sown liberally, that the most satisfactory results can be ob- 

 tained. . . , , M 



CURRIE'S LAWN GRASS MIXTURES are the result of years of study and careful observation, which, if our 

 directions are followed in seeding, never fail to produce quickly a thrifty growth of fine, velyfty, 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 alight 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 the seed sown. We 

 have frequently, 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 general. 1 quart to 260 square feet, 1 bushel to 8,000 square feet, or not less 

 than i bushels per acre, will prove very satisfactory. For renovating old lawns, about one-half the above quanti- 

 ties, on the average, is required.
