CURRIE'S LAWN GRASS MIXTURES FOR FALL SOWING 



CURRIE'S SPECIAL LAWN GRASS MIXTURES 



THOROUGHLY TESTED AND ANALYZED FOR GERMINATION AND PURITY 



This splendid mixture is composed of only the finest dwarf-erowing evergreen grasses; absolutely free from weed seeds or other impurities: 

 especially adapted and mixed in the proper proportion 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 composing the mixture. y> lb. 35c (by mail 40c) ; 1 lb. 60c (by mail 67c) ; 2% lbs. $1.45; 5 lbs. S2.75; 

 10 lbs. S5.25; 20 lbs. SIO.OO; 50 lbs. S24.00; 100 lbs. $46.00. 



CURRIE'S GRASS MIXTURE FOR SHADE— In our Grass Mixture for Shade we have an excellent combination of those grasses which 

 grow naturally in shady places and under any ordinary circumstances will furnish a close, green, velvety turf during the entire season. How- 

 ever, it is often the case that under trees the ground becomes so impoverished by the action of the multitude of fine tree roots as to render 

 the growing of a nice c'ose sod of grass almost impossible ; in such cases we would recommend a liberal top dressing of Currie's Complete Ferti- 

 lizer. Price, 1/2 lb. 35c (by mail 40c); 1 lb. 60c (by mail 67c); 21/. lbs. S1.45; 5 lbs. S2.75 ; 10 lbs. $5.25; 20 lbs. $10.00; 50 lbs. $24.00; 100 lbs.

THE QUANTITY OF SEED REQUIRED— 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 gratifying results, but in general one pound to 300 square feet. 100 lbs. to the acre, pro- 

 duce the best results. In thickening up established lawns slightly smaller quantities, depending on conditions, may perhaps be sufficient, but it is 

 always well to put on enough.
