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, 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 method of making a lawn, is now largely superseded by seed- 

 ing, because of the expense and difficulty in obtaining good, 

 clean turf. Seeding is not only inexpcnNive but Ls in reality 

 the only nienn.s of securingr a fine and permanent lawn, de- 

 pending 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 while many kinds are val- 

 ueless, being too coarse or bunchy or otherwise unsuitable, 

 one kind of grass alone can not be relied upon, in our climate, 

 to produce and maintain a fine lawn. It is only b.v using a 

 proper combination of several saitable varieties, sown lib- 

 erally, that satisfactory results can be obtained. 



CURRIE'S LAAVIV GRASS MIXTURES are the result of 

 years of study and careful observation, and, if our directions 

 are followed in seeding, tliey never fail to produce quiclcly 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 atJAlVTITY OF SEED REtlVIRED— 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 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 lbs. each to the acre, with the mo.=;t grati- 

 fying results, but in general the following quantities will pro- 

 duce satisfactory results: 1 pound to 400 square feet; 5 pounds 

 to 2,000 square feet; 20 pounds to 8,000 square feet; 100 pounds 

 (5 bus.) 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.
