A BEAUTIFUL LAWN and HOW To SECURE It 
It is universally conceded that nothing contributes so 
CURRIE'S LAWN GRASS MIXTURES are the result of | 
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method of making a lawn, is now largely superseded by seed- 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 inexpensive but is in reality 
the only means of securing 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, 
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-life turf and permanently beautiful 
awn. 
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 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 most 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. 
to produce and maintain a fine lawn. It is only by using a 
proper combination of several suitable varieties, sown Ilib- 
erally, that satisfactory results can be obtained. 
In thickening up established lawns slightly smaller quan- 
tities, depending on conditions, may perhaps be sufficient, but 
one kind of grass alone can not be relied upon, in our climate, 
«= it is always well to put on enough.
