Hardy ^g Sweet Violets 



(CONTINUED) 



NOTF* ^^ ^^^ special attention to the following Hardy Perpetual Blooming Sweet Violets, which, 

 though fully described on the preceding page, we believe are not as well known as they 

 ought to be. These varieties are entirely hardy in the open ground here, and if planted in any good or- 

 dinary soil, will bear great quantities of lovely Violets for at least six months of the year. They begin 

 to bloom nearly as soon as the snow is gone, and excepting only the hottest days of Summer, you can 

 pick flowers every day the whole season till Winter comes again. No flOWers are more higfhly valued Of 

 easier to grow than these F.verblooming Hardy Large Flowering Violets which are the sweetest and 

 most productive of all. Just give them a chance to grow and they will do the rest.

C & J. VELVET GREEN LAWN GRASS SEED. 



THE BEST BRAND FOR SEEDING DOWN NEW LAWNS AND RENOVATING OLD ONES. 



OUR VELVET GREEN LAWN GRASS SEED is not excelled by any for producing a smooth, even, velvety-green 

 sward that will withstand drought and hard usage, and always makes a handsome appearance. In seeding down a lawn 

 or grass plot, three things are necessary to insure success: First, to prepare the ground so as to have a fine, smooth seedbed; 

 second, to put on plenty of seed, never less, but rather more than the directions call for; third to start the lawn-mower as 

 soon as the weeds (which are always in the ground and sure to start first) are tall enough to catch, and keep them mowed 

 off close till the grass has time to start and become well-established. The seed should be lightly raked in and finished with 

 a roller. Apply any good commercial fertilizer as atop-dressing when needed. One quart of seed is enough for three- 

 hundred square feet (fifteen by twenty feet ', or at the rate of five bushels to the acre. I^awns should be kept neatly mowed, 

 which induces a clean, even growth of fresh lively green. 



Price by mail, postpaid 35 cts. per quart; two quarts for 45 cts.; in bulk, purchaser paying express charges 

 S1.26 per peck; $4.00 per bushel of 20 lbs.
