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method of making a lawn, is now largely superseded by seed- 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 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- 
useless, 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 by using a 
proper combination of several suitable warieties, sown lib- 
erally, that satisfactory results can be obtained. 
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 produce quickly a 
thrifty growth of fime welvety, 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—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 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 quan- 
tities, depending on conditions, may perhaps be sufficient, but 
it-is always well to put on enough.

other impurities; especially adapted and mixed in the proper proportions to suit the 
American climate. In comparing the cost of our Special Lawn Grass with other mix- 
tures 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 
i bushel. To obtain this exceptionally heavy weight per bushel, we must and do use 
finest and cleanest grades of Seed being used. This splendid mixture is composed of

This is in itself a guarantee against sowing weed seeds, as the heavier the mixture the 
more thoroughly recleaned have been the component grasses. ¥% Ib. 35e (by mail 40ce);
