CURRIE'S LAWN GRASS SEED 



PRODUCES A RICH, THICK, VELVETY 

 LAWN IN SIX WEEKS 



A BEAUTIFUL LAWN and HOW to MAKE IT 



It is universally conceded that nothing- contributes so 

 h 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 therefore, should be the first consideration in 

 laying out or renovating- old grounds. 



Turfing with line old pasture sod, at one time a popular 

 method of making a lawn, is now almost entirely superseded 



seeding', because of the expense and difficulty in obtaining 

 good, clean turf. < in the other hand seeding is not only inex- 

 pensive but i.N in reality tlie only means of securing n line 

 ami permanent lawn, depending only for its complete sue. 

 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 laws and ex- 

 haustive experiments with all kinds of lawn grasses h 

 demonstrated beyond a doubt that while many kinds are val- 



ess, being t<> > coarse or bunchy or otherwise unsuitable, 

 one kind of crass alone can not be relied upon, in oar climate, 

 to produce and maintain a line lawn. It is onlv by usini 



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 -nmili of line velvety, rieh «reen grass, continuous 

 in verdure from early spring to winter, and creating a 

 springy, dense, carpet-life 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 .-■•ding 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 S.000 square feet: 100 pounds per acre. For 

 renovating old lawns about one-half the above quantities, on 

 t he average, is required. 



CURRIE'S SPECIAL LAWN GRASS MIXTURE 



THOROUGHLY TESTED AND ANALYZED FOR GERMINATION AND PURITY 



Composed of Evergreen Grasses, best suited to our American Climate, and made up from 

 only the finest and cleanest grades of Seed. This splendid mixture is composed of only 

 the finest dwarf-growing 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 which compose our mixture. This is in itself a guar- 

 antee against sowing weed seeds, as the heavier the mixture the more thoroughly re- 

 cleaned have been the component grasses. % lb. 25c (by mail 30c); II lb. 4.1c (by mnil
