Quart, 30 cents; peck, $1.50; per bushel of 16 lbs., $5.00. If by mail add 8 cents per quart extra. 
Special quotations for large quantities. 
THE «GOLF LINKS” MIXTURE. 
During the last visit to Scotland, we visited several of the courses, to ascertain the variety of Grasses generally 
used to produce the fine, close sward so common there. We have supplied several Clubs the past year with the 
Mixture, which we now offer and which is the result of a careful study of the requirements for making beautiful 
Golf Links. We do not hesitate to say that it has given entire satisfaction. 
THE «PUTTING GREEN” MIXTURE. 
The very finest low growing Grasses are contained in this Mixture and they are also very hardy. This Mix- 
ture will produce a beautiful and lasting green turf wherever used. 
THE «TERRACE MIXTURE.” 
This is a Mixture of strong, deep rooted Grasses for “ banks” or ‘‘ terraces.’’ Although the Grasses are 
strong and deep rooted, they will produce a fine green velvety appearance, and also prevent the Terrace from 
being washed away during heavy rains. 
THE « BASEBALL GROUND” MIXTURE. 
This preparation comprises rene, deep rooted Grasses, calculated to withstand the hard tear and wear of 
Baseball Grounds.
