FARQUHAR'S "EVERGREEN" LAWN SEED 



A mixture of the finest American and European grasses adapted to lawn-making. The formula for this mixture is the result of a 

 life-time of practical experience in making and maintaining lawns. For the formation of new lawns sow not less than 150 pounds per 

 acre. One pound will sow a plot 20 x 10 feet or 200 square feet. For renovating existing turf, use one-half this quantity. (Bus. 25 lbs.) 

 Lb. 60c.; 5 lbs. $2.90; 10 lbs. $5.50; 100 lbs. $50.00. 



FARQUHAR'S >>BOSTON PARKS" LAWN SEED 



This formula has been used for many years in the Boston Park Department and in the Metropolitan Parks of Massachusetts. It 

 is unquestionably one of the best mixtures for parks or where a free-growing, hard-wearing turf is desired. Sow not less than 

 100 pounds per acre and in many cases 125 pounds will be an advantage. Lb. 60c.; 10 lbs. $5.50; 100 lbs. $50.00. (25 lbs. and 

 upwards at the 100-lb. rate.) 



FARQUHAR'S "SHADY PLACE" MIXTURE 



This is a mixture of extra-fine grasses adapted for growing in 

 the shade and under trees. We recommend the use of this mix- 

 ture wherever other grasses, on account of shade, have failed to 

 make a close sward. Sow at rate of one pound to 200 sq. ft.

FARQUHAR'S "TERRACE" MIXTURE 



A mixture of strong, deep-rooted grasses for banks or terraces. 

 Although the grasses are strong and deep-rooted, they will pro- 

 duce a fine green velvety surface, and also prevent washing away 

 during heavy rains. Use one pound to each 200 square feet. Lb. 

 60c.; 10 lbs. $5.75; 100 lbs. $55.00.

FARQUHAR'S "FAIRGREEN" MIXTURE 



This is composed mainly of perennial native grasses and two 

 very important European grasses which have proven of great 

 value for fairgreen use. They are all of dwarf, spreading growth, 

 forming a close, velvety surface which improves from year to 

 year if given proper care. It contains no clover, which is objec- 

 tionable on account of making the surface slippery. Use about 

 150 pounds to the acre. Lb. 60c.; 100 lbs. $55.00; 1,000 lbs. 

 $500.00.
