GRAND VIEW LAWN GRASS SEED. 



In horticultural products of every kind and nature, there is perhaps nothing in which quality counts for 

 more than in Lawn Grass ; for upon the Grass Seed employed in seeding it, its success or failure depends. We 

 cannot conceive of a more shining example of the penny wise and pound fcolish than for the owner of a lawn, 

 upon which he has expended hundreds or may be thousands of dollars in grading, draining and preparing and 

 enriching the soil to seed it with inferior cheap seed ; resulting either in total failure or a poor, thin, uneven, 

 coarse sward. In very truth no feature of a modern country home is more important or more desirable than a 

 smooth, bright and perfect sward upon the lawn. In order to produce a perfect lawn, it is absolutely necessary 

 to obtain good seeds of the grasses best adapted to the purpose, mixed in correct proportions. Situated as we 

 are, surrounded by summer residences of wealthy New York people, with Long Branch upon one hand and Rum- 

 son upon the other, our experience in producing fine lawns has been wide and thorough. 



Our Grand View Lawn Grass Seed is the result of over twenty years observation and practical experience in 

 lawn making, and can be relied upon to quickly produce a dense, smooth turf, presenting at all times a healthy 

 and rich color, and one that will endure the heat and drought of our most trying summers. For renovating old 

 lawns and those that have become thin in places, it is unequalled, renewing the worn and bare spots as if by magic. 



It is composed of the best seed in the world, and we believe it to be the best possible mixture for our American 

 soil and climate. We could not make it better if we charged double the price. We could offer cheaper, or rather, 

 lower priced mixtures that would also give good results. But experience has taught us that the best is decidedly 

 the cheapest, and we therefore handle the one grade only. We use the fancy grades of recleaned seed of all the 

 varieties embraced in our Lawn Grasses and at the prices we offer we give more seed for the money than can be 

 obtained elsewhere. Usually the weight is but fifteen pounds per bushel, a large portion of which is chaff. We 

 give twenty pounds to the bushel pure seed of the highest grade of the very best varieties. 



The quantity required for seeding a new lawn, for best and quickest results, is five bushels per acre ; for 

 renewing old lawns, one to three bushels, according to number of thin places. One quart will sow 15 by 20 feet 

 or 300 square feet, or one pint is sufficient for renewing same area. 



Full directions for laying down new lawns, and for renovating old ones, will be sent with each package of seed.
