Farquhar's "Shady Place" Mixture 



FARQUHAR'S "EVERGREEN" LAWN SEED 



A mixtm-e of the finest .'\xnerican 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 pounds 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. (Bus. 25 lbs.) Lb. 60c.; 5 lbs. $2.90; 10 lbs. §5.75; 100 lbs. 

 S55.00. 



FARQUHAR'S ^'BOSTON PARKS" LAWN SEED

 is unquestionably one of the best mixtures for parks or where a free-growing, hard-wearing turf is desired. Sow not less than 80 pounds 

 per acre and in many cases 100 pounds will be an advantage. Lb. 65c.; 10 lbs. $6.25; 100 lbs. $60.00. (25 lbs. and upwards at the 

 100-lb. rate.) 



FARQUHAR'S "SHADY PLACE" MIXTURE

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

 make a close sward. Sow at rate of one pound to 300 sq. ft.

FARQUHAR'S "TERRACE" MIXTURE

 .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 300 square feet. Lb. 

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

 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 ^^'hich improves from year to 

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

 tionable on account of making the surface slipperv. Use about 

 150 pounds to the acre. Lb. 65c.; 100 lbs. $60.00; 1,000 lbs. 

 $550.00.
