CHARGES PREPAID WHEN CASH ACCOMPANIES ORDER 



FARQUHAR'S "EVERGREEN" LAWN GRASS 



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. Neither pains nor expense are spared in obtaining grasses of high vitality and purity. It 

 is our constant aim to make Farquhar's Evergreen Lawn Grass the best, purest and most permanent Lawn Grass sold. For the formation of new 

 lawns sow not less than 100 lbs. per acre. One pound will sow a plot 20 x 20 feet or 400 square feet. For renovating existing turf, use one-half 

 this quantity. Price per lb., 60 cts.; 5 lbs,, $2.90; 10 lbs., $5.75; 100 lbs., $55.00; Bushel of 25 lbs., $13.75. 



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 un- 

 questionably one of the best mixtures for parks or where a free-growing, hardy-wearing turf is desired. Sow not less than 80 lbs. per acre and in 

 many cases 100 lbs. will be an advantage. Price, 65 cents per lb.; 10 lbs., $6.25; 100 lbs. $60.00. 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 mixture wherever 

 other grasses on account of shade have failed to make a close sward. 

 Sow at rate of one pound to 300 sq. ft. Price per lb., 60 cts.; 5 lbs., 

 $2.90; 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 Fair- 

 Green use. They are all of dwarf, spreading growth, forming a close vel- 

 vety surface which improves from year to year if given proper care. It 

 contains no clover, which is objectionable on account of making the sur- 

 face slippery. Use about 150 lbs. to the acre. Price per lb., 65 CtS.; 

 100 lbs., $60.00; 1000 lbs., $550.00. 



FARQUHAR'S "TERRACE" MIXTURE 



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

 though the Grasses are strong and deep-rooted, they will produce a fine 

 green velvety surface, and also prevent washing away during heavy rains. 

 Use one povmd to each 300 sq. ft. Price per lb., 60 cts.; 10 lbs., 

 $5.75; 100 lbs., $55.00. 



FARQUHAR'S "PUTTING-GREEN" MIXTURE 



The hardiest and finest low-growing Grasses are contained in this 

 Mixture. It produces a beautiful and lasting green turf calculated to 

 withstand hard tear and wear. Sow one pound to each 200 sq. ft., 75 

 to 100 lbs. for the average green. Price per lb., 90 cts.; 10 lbs., $8.50; 

 100 lbs., $80.00. 



FARQUHAR'S "ATHLETIC FIELD" MIXTURE 



A special mixture of grasses producing a close, matted turf of great 

 resiliency. Many leading athletic fields in New England are using this 

 mixture. Sow at rate of 125 to 150 lbs. per acre. Price per lb., 70 cts.; 

 5 lbs., $3.40; 10 lbs., $6.50; 100 lbs., $60.00.

 adapted to produce a close elastic turf. Use at rate of one pound to

FARQUHAR'S LAWN FERTILIZER 



A strictly high grade fertilizer, highly concentrated, and containing all the elements needed for the perfect development of the lawn. The use 

 of Farquhar's Lawn Fertilizer for top-dressing does away with the practice of covering the lawn with stable manure. It should be sown broad- 

 cast in the Spring or Fall, and if possible should be applied in dull weather but if used dming warm weather, soak down with a hose after applying. 

 A 10-lb. package is sufficient for a space 15 x 20 feet; 800 to 1000 lbs. per acre. Price per ton, $62.00; 100 lbs., $4.00; 50 lbs., $2.25; 25 lbs.,
