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, uniformly 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. 
Turfing with fine old pasture sod, at one time a popular method 
of making a lawn, is now largely superseded by seeding, because of 
the expense and difficulty in obtaining good, clean turf. 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 while many kinds are valueless, being too coarse 
or bunchy or otherwise unsuitable, one kind of grass alone cannot 
be relied upon, in our climate, to produce and maintain a fine lawn. 
It is only by using a proper combination of several suitable varieties, 
sown liberally, that satisfactory results can be obtained.

GERMINATION AND PURITY

CURRIE’S LAWN GRASS MIXTURES are the resullt of years 
of study and careful observation, and, if our directions are followed 
in seeding, they 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 OF SEED REQUIRED —tThere is no fixed 
rule, but a liberal sowing is always satisfactory, while a light seed- 
ing is a waste of time and usually disappointing. A beautiful lawn 
may be produced in a few weeks, or it may not approach per- 
fection 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; 20 pounds to 6,000 square feet; 
100 pounds (5 bus.) -per acre. 
In thickening up established lawns slightly smaller quantities, 
depending on conditions, may perhaps be sufficient, but it is always 
well to put on enough. ’ 
ities; especially adapted and mixed in the proper proportions 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 
actual weight per measured bushel of our mixture 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. ™% Ilb., 35c (by mail 40c); 1 Ib.,
