ER RACE SOD" 



LAWN GRASS SEED. 



A special mixture of grasses best suited for 

 sowing on terraces, railroad embankments 

 and side hills — grasses that produce strong, 

 spreading roots, thus preventing heavy rains 

 from washing them out ; that will withstand 

 drought and exposure, thrive on shallow soils, 

 and at the same time produce a rich, velvety 

 green turf throughout the season. There need 

 be no fear of introducing coarse grasses into 

 your lawn by sowing this mixture, for though 

 strong-rooted, the grasses are equally as fine 

 as those used in the " Henderson " mixture.

 Grass Seed, and it has made our terraces beautiful and

 sive rains of this summer have not caused a washout."

LAWN GRASS SEED. 



On nearly all lawns there are unsightly bare spots 

 under the shade of trees, which have baffled all ef- 

 forts to get into grass, but with this mixture there 

 need be no further difficulty. It is a combination 

 of fine, dwarf-growing, evergreen varieties, which in 

 their wild or natural state are to be found growing 

 in the woods or other sheltered and shaded spots. 

 Ground that has been densely shaded by trees is fre- 

 quently " sour," and if the drainage is defective it is 

 apt to be covered with moss and coarse bog grasses. 

 In such cases an application of slaked lime, at the 

 rate of one bushel to each thousand square feet, or 

 forty bushels to the acre, is an excellent corrective 

 and sweetener, but the moss should be first removed 

 by the use of a sharp rake. 



Price, 35c. qt., $2.00 pk., $7.00 bush, of 20 lbs. 

 (7/ by mail, add at the rate of 5c. qt. for postage.)
