La^i^n Grass Mixture for 

 Shady Places 



To maintain a nice growth of grass under trees and 

 in places where the sunlight only reaches part of the 

 day, was long considered almost hopeless. This can 

 now be overcome in a great measure by our mixture, 

 which is composed of dwarf, compact growing grasses 

 that naturally grow in partial shade and will main- 

 tain a close, thick turf throughout the entire season. 

 It frequently happens that the ground under trees 

 becomes impoverished by the roots of the trees, mak- 

 ing it almost impossible for grass to thrive unless 

 a liberal top dressing of fertilizer is supplied, or when 

 the ground has soured and covered with moss an ap- 

 plication of ground lime will be found beneficial before 

 sowing the seed. Vz lb., 35c; 1 lb., 55c; 3 lbs., $1.65; 

 5 lbs., $2.65; 10 lbs., $5.25; 20 lbs., $10.25; 50 lbs., 

 $23.00; 100 lbs., $45.00. 



CURRIE'S FAIRWAY MIXTURE— Golf courses all 

 over the country are demanding better fairways. We 

 made up this mixture to meet this demand. This 

 makes an excellent turf in a very short time, and is 

 indeed a pleasure to walk over. This will also make a 

 fine lawn, but does not contain any white clover. Sow 

 at the rate of 150 lbs. to the acre. 1 lb., 40c; 10 

 lbs., $3.75. 



GOLF COURSE MIXTURE— Forms a close turf that 

 bears hard usage and remains green throughout the 

 season. 1 lb., 55c; 5 lbs., $2.50; 10 lbs., $4.75; 20 lbs., 

 $7.75; 50 lbs., $21.00; 100 lbs., $40.00. 



GOLF MIXTURE FOR PUTTING GREEN— A mix- 

 ture of dwarf, compact growing fine leaved grasses 

 that withstand constant wear. 1 lb., $1.00; 5 lbs., 

 $4.75; 10 lbs., $9.40; 20 lbs., $18.50; 100 lbs., $85.00. 



KENTISH WILD WHITE CLOVER 



This comes from Southern England and has proved 

 a true perennial of dwarf growth. Well suited to lawns 

 and pastures. Extra fine recleaned seed of high purity. 

 1 oz., 20c; li lb., 75c; 1/2 lb., $1.30; 1 lb., $2.50. 



KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS— The most valuable and 

 permanent lawn grass. Very slow in getting started 

 and becoming established. Where a quick growth is 

 desired, it is best to use "Currie's Special Lawn 

 Mixture," which has in addition to Kentucky Blue, 

 other excellent lawn grasses that will make a sod the 

 first year, while the Blue Grass is establishing itself, 

 lib., 40c; 5 lbs., $1.95; 10 lbs., $3.75. 



CURRIE'S ATHLETIC GROUND MIXTURE 



No Clover of any kind has been included in this 

 formula, as Clover is liable to make a playing-field 

 slippei'y. The grasses used are those most capable of 

 making a strong, rapid growth. The roots of the 

 grasses comprising this special mixture will strike 

 deep into the soil, preventing the rapid drying out of 

 the turf in dry weather and yet furnishing a sod that 

 will be permanent and which will stand very hard 

 usage. Areas seeded with this Mixture may be kept 

 closely cut without destroying the stand of grass. 

 We recommend sowing at least 100 pounds of seed 

 per acre. 1 lb., 40c; 10 lbs., $3.75; 100 lbs., $35.00. 



BENT GRASSES FOR LAWNS AND 

 PUTTING-GREENS 



ASTORIA BENT GRASS— This grass has creeping 

 roots and makes a splendid lawn and golf grass. ^4 

 lb., 40c; 1/2 lb., 75c; 1 lb., $1.35; 2 lbs., $2.70; 5 lbs., 

 $6.50; 10 lbs., $12.75. 



FLORIDA HUMUS 



The use of Florida Humus, applied liberally 

 to the surface of the lawn, will help maintain a 

 fine, even sward. An application of one-half 

 inch as a top-dressing once a year is sufficient. 

 Of all the brands of Humus on the market 

 today, we find Florida Humus the most desir- 

 able, for it is unusually rich in organic nitrogen, 

 more than 2 per cent and absorbs 5.81 times its 

 own weight of water in five hours. It is_ a 

 natural home for the soil-bacteria upon which 

 lawn-making and garden-making depend so 

 much. 100-lb. crates, $3.00; 200-lb. crates, $5.00; 

 per ton, in 200-lb. crates, $45.00.
