Currie’s Lawn Grass Seed 
Produces a Rich, Thick, Velvety Lawn in SIX WEEKS 
..- A BEAUTIFUL LAWN AND HOW TO SECURE 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, uni- 
formly rich-green, well-kept lawn. But to be perfect and 
a pleasure to walk on this should have a firm yet elastic 
and carpet-like surface, and the first consideration in laying 
out or renovating old grounds should be to secure this 
condition. 
CURRIE’S LAWN GRASS MIXTURES are the result 
of years of study and careful observation, and, if our 
directions are followed in seeding, they never fail to pro- 
duce 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 per- 
manently beautiful lawn. 
CURRIE’S SPECIAL LAWN 
GRASS MIXTURE 
THOROUGHLY TESTED AND ANALYZED FOR 
GERMINATION AND PURITY 
Composed of Evergreen Grasses, best suited to our 
American Climate, only the finest and cleanest grades of 
Seed being used. This splendid mixture is composed of 
only the finest dwarf-growing evergreen grasses; absolutely 
free from weed seeds or other impurities. 
In comparing the cost of our Special Lawn Grass with 
other mixtures sent out by the trade, remember that the 
actual weight per measured bushel of our mixtures is 20 
pounds or more, while that of most mixtures is only 14 
pounds 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 weed 
seeds, as the heavier the mixture the more thoroughly 
cleaned have been the component grasses. We do not 
use any cheap grasses that dies out during the winter 
and which has to be replaced with a permanent grass seed. 
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 dis 
appointing. 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, or even eight, bushels of 20 Ibs. to 
the acre, with the most gratifying results, but in general 
the following quantities will produce satisfactory results: 
1 pound to 300 square feet; 5 pounds to 1,500 square feet; 
30 pounds to 6,000 square feet; 150 pounds per acre. 
In thickening up established lawns slightly smaller quan- 
tities, depending on conditions, may perhaps be sufficient, 
but it is always well to put on enough. 
Price per Ib., 40c., 5 Ibs., $1.90; 10 Ibs., $3.75; 20 Ibs., 
$7.25; 100 Ibs., $32.50. 
LAKESIDE GRASS MIXTURE 
This mixture is specially prepared for country homes 
where a close, even velvety turf is not easily secured, 
owing to the difficulty of watering, etc., so necessary for 
the maintenance of a perfect lawn. The grasses used are 
such as endure drought and rough usage to a remarkable 
degree. 
We have made up this mixture in a great measure for 
the formation of lawns at Lakeside Summer Homes that 
can only have attention during the summer months, and 
for this purpose it will be found invaluable. 
1 [b., 35c; 5 Ibs., $1.50; 10 Ibs., $2.85; 100 lbs., $27.50. 
CURRIE’S PARK MIXTURE 
This is composed of quick growing grasses and is used 
where a lawn is wanted in a hurry, and should be reseeded 
with our Special Mixture which is composed of the finest 
of permanent grasses. 1 Ib., 25c; 5 Ibs., $1.15.
