 FARQUHAR'5 MIXTURE FOR SHADY PLACES. 



This is a mixture of extra fine grasses adapted for growing in the shade. We recommend the use of this 

 mixture wherever other grasses have failed to make a close sward. 



FARQUHAR'S -GOLF LINKS" MIXTURE. 



During our last visit to Scotland, we visited several of the courses, to ascertain the variety of Grasses gen- 

 erally 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. 



FARQUHAR'S -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. 



FARQUHAR'S "TERRACE MIXTURE." 



This is a mixture of strong, deep rooted Grasses for " banks " or " terraces." Although the Grasses are 

 strong and deep tooted, they will produce a fine green velvety appearance, and also prevent the Terrace from 

 being washed away during heavy rains.

GRASSES FOR PERHANENT PASTURES AND MEADOWS. 



Containing only the most suitable Grasses, the proportionate quantity of each being regulated by soil, situa- 

 tion, and purpose for which desired. The object to be attained is a constant, successive growth of rich pastur- 

 age from spring till fall. It is a well-established fact that soils sown with a variety of different grasses which are 

 adapted to the soil, and which attain perfection at alternate months from April to September, produce very 

 much larger and more satisfactory crops, both for hay and pasturage, than when only one or two 

 kinds of grasses or clovers are sown. The results given by our mixtures have been most satisfactory, and have 

 resulted in a very large increase in our trade for same. We unhesitatingly recommend them for use on the 

 largest scale. Fall seeding is preferable, but spring sowing will be successful if done early, when the land is cool 

 and moist In addition to the Grasses, we advise sowing io lbs. of Mixed Clover Seed per acre. Clovers in 

 their young state are tender in our climate, and should therefore be sown in spring, separately, being heavier in 

 weight.
