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 mnch 

 to the beauty and attractiveness of the Home Grounds, the Park 

 and the Cemetery, as a smooth, uniformly rich-green, well-kept 

 lawn, wliich. to be perfect and a plea;*ure to walk on. should have 

 a firm yet elastic and carpet-like surface. To secure this should, 

 tlierefore. be the first consideration in laying out or renovating 

 I'ld grounds. 



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

 method of making a lawn, is now , almost entirely surperseUed 

 by seeding, because of the expense and difficulty" in obtaining 

 good, clean turf. On the other hand see<ling is not onl.v inex- 

 pensive but is in realit.v the onl.v 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 demon- 

 strated beyond a doubt that while many kinds are valueless, being 

 too coarse or bunchy or otherwise unsuitable, one kind of grass 

 alone can not be relied upon, in our climate, to produce and main- 

 tain a fine lawn. It is only by using a proper combination of 



several suitable varieties, sown liberally, that satisfactory results 

 can be obtained. 



CCRKIE'S LAWX GRASS MITCKES are the result of years 

 of study and careful observation, and. if our directions are followed 

 in Sf-eding. they never fail to produce uu'ckl.v a thriftj' growth of 

 fine, velvet.v, rich green grass, continuous in verdure from early 

 Spring to winter, and creating a springy, dense, carpet-Uke turf 

 and permanently beautiful lawn. 



THE QUANTITY OF SEED KEQCIKED. — 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 beau- 

 tiful lawn may be produced in a few weeks, or it may not ap- 

 proach perfection for two or more seasons, according to the <iuau- 

 tit.v 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 quautities will produce the best results: I quart to 

 250 square feet: 1 pound to 400 square feet; 3 pounds to 2.000 

 square feet: 20 pounds to S.OOO siiuare feet: 100 pounds per 

 acre. For renovating old lawns about one-half the above quan 

 tities. on the average, is required.
