CURRIE'S LAWN GRASS SEED

IN SIX WEEKS. 



A Beautiful Lawn and How to Make It 



It is universally 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 a firm yet elastic and carpet-like surface. 

 To secure this, it should therefore be the first consideration in laying out or 

 renovating old grounds. 



Turfing with fine old pasture sod, at one time a popular method of making 

 a lawn, is now almost entirely superseded by seeding, because of the expense 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 e.Khaustive experi- 

 ments with all kinds of lawn grasses have demonstrated beyond a doubt that 

 while many kinds are valueless, being too coarse or bunchy or otherwise 

 unsuitable, one kind of grass alone can not be relied upon, in our climate, to 

 produce and maintain a fine lawn. It is only by using a proper combination of 



several suitable varieties, sown liberally, that satisfactory results can be 

 obtained. 



CURRIE'S LAWN GRASS MIXTURES are the result of years of 

 study and careful observation, and, if our directions are followed in seeding, 

 they never fail to produce quickly a thirfty 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 always satisfactory, while a light seeding is a waste of 

 time and usually disappointing. A beautiful lawn may be produced in a few 

 weeks, or it may not approach perfection for two or more seasons, according 

 to the quantity of Seed sown. tSTien in a hurry for a fine, close turf, we have 

 frequently sown at the rate of seven bushels of 20 lbs. each to the acre, with 

 the most gratif>-ing resvdts, but in general the following quantities will produce 

 the best results: 1 quart to 250 square feet; 1 pound to 400 square feet; 

 5 pounds to 2,000 square feet; 20 pounds to 8,000 square feet; 100 pounds per 

 acre. For renovating old lawns about one-half the above quantities, on the 

 average, is required. 



CURRIE'S SPECIAL LAWN GRASS MIXTURE 



THOROUGHLY TESTED AND ANALYZED FOR GERMINATION AND PURITY 



Composed of Evergreen Grasses, best suited to our American Climate, and made up from only the finest and cleanest grades of Seed. 



This splendid mixture is composed of only the finest dwarf-growing evergreen grasses; absolutely free from weed seeds or other impurities; especially adapted 

 and mixed in the proper proportion to suit the American climate. In comparing the cost of our Special Lawn Grass with other mixtures sent out by the trade, 

 remember that the actual weight per measured bushel of our mixture is 20 pounds, while that of most mixtures is only 14 pounds per bushel. To 

 obtain this exceptionally hea\^ weight per bushel, we must and do use only the hea\-iest and best samples of the various grasses which compose our mixture. 

 This is in itself a guarantee against sowing weed seeds, as the heavier the mixture the more thoroughlv redeaned have been the component grasses. Pt.
