CURRIE’S LAWN GRASS SEED 
PRODUCES A RICH, THICK, VELVETY 
LAWN IN SIX WEEKS 
A BEAUTIFUL LAWN 
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, which, to be perfect and a pleasure to walk 
on, should have a firm yet elastic and carpet-like surface. To 
secure this, it should therefore be the first consideration in 
laying out or renovating old grounds. 
Turfing with fine old pasture sod, at one time a popular 
method of making a lawn, is now almost entirely superseded 
by seeding, because of the expense and difficulty in obtaining 
good, clean turf. On the other hand seeding is not only inex- 
pensive 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 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, 
It is only by using a

and HOW to MAKE IT 
proper combination of several suitable warieties, 
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 fine velvety, rich green grass, continuous 
in verdure from early spring to winter, and creating a 
sown lib- 
springy, dense, carpet-life 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 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 bushels of 
20 lbs. each to the acre, with the most gratifying results, but 
in general the following quantities will produce the best re- 
sults: 1 pound to 400 square feet; 5 pounds to 2,000 square 
feet; 20 pounds to 8,000 square feet; 100 pounds per acre. For 
renovating old lawns about one-half the above quantities, on 
the average, is required.
