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 method of making a lawn, is now largely superseded by seed- 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 inexpensive but is in reality 

 tlie only means of securinj; 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 otherw-ise 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 varieties, 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 grrowth of fine velvety, rich green grass, continuous 



in verdure from early spring to w^inter, and creating a 

 springy, dense, carpet-like turf and permanently beautiful 



lawn. 



THE QUANTITY OP SEED REQ,UIRED — There la no 

 fixed rule, but a liberal sowing is always satisfactory, whll« 

 a light seeding is a waste of time and usually disappointlngr 

 A beautiful lawn may be produced in a few weeks, or it may 

 not approach perfection for t-wo or more seasons, accordlner to 

 the quantity of Seed sown. When in a hurry for a fine, closo 

 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 pound* 

 to 1,500 square feet; 20 pounds to 6,000 square feet; 100 poundat 

 (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.
