It is unnersally conceded that nothing- contributes so much to the beauty and attractiveness of the Home Grounds, the Park 

 and the Cemetery, as a smooth, uniformly rich-green, well-kept lawn, which, to be perfect and a pleasure to walk on. should have 

 oldgrounds a car Pet-like surface. To secure this should, therefore, be the first consideration in laying out or renovating 



Turfing with fine old pasture sod, at one time a popular plan of making a lawn, is now almost entirely superseded by seeding, 

 because 01 the expense and difficulty in obtaining good, clean turf. On the other hand seeding is not only inexpensive but is in 

 reality the only means of securing a fine and permanent lawn, depending only for its complete success on the thoroughness' with 

 which the ground is prepared, the quality and quantity of the seed sown, and the subsequent care of the lawn. 



Our extensive experience in the seeding of lawns and exhaustive experiments with all kinds of lawn grasses have demonstrated 

 beyond a doubt that many kinds are valueless, being too coarse or bunchy, and that one kind of grass alone can not be relied 

 upon, m our climate to produce and maintain a fine lawn. It is only by using a proper combination of several suitable varieties, 

 sown liberally, that the most satisfactory results can be obtained. 



CURRIE'S LAWN GRASS MIXTURES are the result of years of study and careful observation, which, if our directions" are fol- 

 lowed in seeding, never fail to produce quickly a thrifty growth of fine, velvety, rich green grass, continuous in verdure from 

 early spring to winter, and creating a springy, dense, carpet-like turf and permanently beautiful lawn. 



THE QUANTITY OF SEED REQUIRED.— There is no fixed rule, but a liberal sowing is alwavs satisfactory, while a light seed- 

 ing is a waste of time and usually disappointing. A beautiful lawn may be produced in a few weeks, or it may not approach per- 

 fection for two or more seasons, according to the quantity of the seed sown. We have frequently, when in a hurrv for a fine, 

 close turl, sown at the rate of seven bushels of 20 lbs. each to the acre with the most successful results, but in general the fol- 

 ; OW o 1 nfn Quan tltlf > s will produce the best results: 1 qt. to 250 square feet, 1 lb. to 400 square feet, 5 lbs. to 2.000 square feet, 20 lbs. 

 to s.uoo square leet, 100 lbs. per acre. For renovating old lawns, about one-half the above quantities, on the average, is required.
