FARQUHAR'S 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 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. 



FARQUHAR'S "PUTTING GREEN" MIXTURE. 



The very finest low growing Grasses are contained in this Mixture, and they are also very hardy. This Mixture 

 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 rooted, they will produce a fine green velvety appearance, and also prevent the Terrace from being washed 

 away during heavy rains.

 GRASSES FOR PERMANENT PASTURES AND MEADOWS. 



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

 and purpose for which desired. The object to be attained is a constant, successive growth of rich pasturage 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 10 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. 



10 lbs. Mixed Clover Seed, sufficient for one acre, $2.00.
