FARQUHAR'S SPECIAL GRASS SEED MIXTURES. 



Seeded with Farquhar's Tennis-Court Mixture. 



FARQUHAR'S "FAIR GREEN" MIXTURE. 



This is composed mainly of perennial Grasses which have proven of great value for Fair-Green use. They are all of dwarf, spread- 

 ing growth, forming an even and lasting turf which improves from year to year if given proper care. It contains no clover, which 

 is objectionable on account of making the surface slippery. If white clover is desired, the quantity sown should not exceed two 

 pounds per 100 lbs. of grass seed. Sow 100 to 150 lbs. per acre. Per lb., 65 ets.; per 100 lbs., at 60 ets. per lb.; per 1000 lbs., at 

 55 ets. per lb. 



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 the rate of 1 lb. per each 300 sq. ft. for a 

 new lawn, or about half that quantity for renovating existing turf. Price per lb., 60 ets.; 5 lbs., $2.90; 10 lbs., $5.75; 100 lbs., $55.00. 



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. 1 lb. will sow approximately 300 sq. ft. of new lawn. 

 Price per lb., 60 ets. ;5 lbs., 4.2.90; 10 lbs., $5.75; 100 lbs., $55.00. 



FARQUHAR'S "SEA-SHORE" MIXTURE 



A combination of various dwarf deep-rooted Grasses adapted for 

 lawns near the salt water. The seeds should be sown early in the 

 season, so that the young plants may be well established before 

 warm weather. Use at the rate of 1 lb. per 300 sq. ft., 100 to 130 

 lbs. to the acre. Price per lb., 65 ets.; 5 lbs., $3.15; 10 lbs., $6.25; 

 100 lbs., $60.00. 



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 at the rate of 1 lb. per 200 

 sq. ft., even thicker than this would be beneficial in some instances. 

 The average green will require about 50 to 80 lbs. Price per lb., 

 90 ets.; 5 lbs., $4.35; 10 lbs., $8.50; 100 lbs., $80.00. 



FARQUHAR'S "TENNIS-COURT" MIXTURE.

 adapted to produce a close elastic turf. For the best results a sow- 

 ing of about 1 lb. per 200 sq. ft. will be required. Price per lb., 

 90 ets.; 5 lbs., $4.35; 10 lbs., $8.50; i00 lbs., $80.00.
