CURRIED LAWN GRASS SEED 



PRODUCES A RICH, THICK, VELVETY LAWN IN SIX WEEKS 



A BEAUTIFUL LAWN AND HOW TO MAKE IT 



Turfing- with fine old pasture sod, at onetime a popular 

 method of making a lawn, is now almost entirely superseded 

 by seeding', because of the expense and difficulty in obtain- 

 ing go LIJ turf. On the other hand seeding: is not only 

 Inexpensive but is in reality the only means Of securing a 

 fine and permanent lawn, depending only for its complete 

 le thoroughness with which the ground is ine- 

 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 

 !>■ -ing too coarse or bunchy or otherwise unsuit- 

 able, one kind of grass alone can not be relied upon, in our 

 climate, to produce and maintain a line lawn. It is only by 

 using a proper combination of several suitable varieties, 

 govt n liberally, that satisfactory results can be obtained. 



CURRIE'S LAWS i.inss MIXTURE are the result of 

 rs of study and careful observation, and, if our directions 



are followed in seeding, they never fail to produce nuiekly a 

 thrifty srowtu of line velvety, rich green yrass, 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 - 

 bushels of 20 lbs. each to the acre, with the most gratifying 

 results, but in general the following quantities will produce 

 the best results: One pound to 400 square feet: 5 pounds to 

 2,000 square feet; 20 pounds to S.000 square feet: 100 pounds 

 per acre. For renovating old lawns about one-half t lie 

 above quantities, on the average, is required.
