Johnson & Stokes' Evergreen Velvet Lavi'n Seed Mixture 



Is the Best Lawn Grass Seed for the American Climate. It is a well-ascertained fact that a thick 

 and more prolonged growth is produced by a mixture of many sorts of grasses than by only one or two. 

 For every different kind and condition of soil there are grasses that are especially suitable. Some 

 mature early, others late ; so that from the beginning of spring until winter sets in, there is no time 

 when one species or another is not at its best. For this reason a lawn mixture is strongly advised 

 rather than any one particular grass seed. Our Evergreen Velvet is composed of the very best mixture 

 of grasses that will produce this beautiful effect throughout the whole of the growing season. It has 

 become widely known and is largely used on the best public and private grounds around Philadelphia, 

 New York and other large cities. Price, qt., 20c; qt., postpaid, 25c.; 4 qts., 60c.; peck, $1.00; bush., 

 201bs., $4.00. 



Fairmount Park Lawn Grass Seed Mixture 



This is composed of grasses less expensive than those used in our Evergreen Velvet Mixture and 

 will give good results. Qt., 15c.; qt., postpaid, 20c.; peck, 75c.; bush., 14 lbs., $2.50.

 is little sun. Qt., 30c.; peck, $1.50; bush., 20 lbs., $5.00. 



Johnson &. Stokes' Lawn-Restoring Grass Seed 



A mixture of grasses particularly suited to take firm hold and grow quicklj^ on hard, worn-out or 

 burnt spots. It is best to resow in the early spring, sci'atching the worn-out spots with the rake, sowing 

 the seed thickly and then rolling. Some of the Lawn-Restoring Grass Seed should also be sown on the 

 thin places all through the summer. Qt., 25c.; per bush., 20 lbs., $4.00. 



PERMANENT GRASS SEED FOR GOLF LINKS. Fair=Qreen Mixture. Specially prepared 

 of tlie most enduring and serviceable grasses, without clovers. Sow 4 bushels to the acre. Per bush.,

 a close fair-green and lasting turf which will improve by tramping. Sow thickly. Qt., 30c.; peck, $1.75 ;

For Destroying Worms on Putting=Greens and Lawns the following formula is advised : Take 1 

 ounce corrosive sublimate and mix with 2 quarts of water, and then add 40 to 50 gallons of water and 

 sprinkle the ground, using an ordinary water-pot. The worms come to the surface and die and can be 

 swept oflf.
