GRAND VIEW LAWN GRASS SEED. 



43 



Success or failure in iawn-making depends very 

 largely upon the quality of the grass seed employed 

 in making it, and of what the mixture is composed. 

 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 propor- 

 tions. This I am prepared to furnish in my Grand 

 View Lawn Grass Mixture, which is the result of 

 over twenty years' observation and practical ex- 

 perience in lawn-making and which may be con- 

 lidently relied upon to quickly produce' a dense, 

 smooth turf, presenting at all times a healthy, rich 

 color, and one that will endure the heat and 

 drought of our most trying summers. Forrenovat- 

 ing old lawns and those that have become thin in 

 places, it will be found very successful also. I be- 

 lieve it to be the best possible lawn mixture for our 

 American soil and climate, and it has always given 

 the greatest satisfaction wherever used. It is com- 

 posed of the best fancy grades of recleaned seed of 

 all the grasses employed. I do not offer any so- 

 called ■' cheap " or low-priced mixture, as I believe 

 that the best is always the cheapest, and I there- 

 fore offer the one grade only. Please note, how- 

 ever, that I give more seed for the money than 

 can be obtained elsewhere. In most of the lawn 

 mixtures the weight is but Jifteen povnds to the 

 ushel, a large portion of which is chaff. I give 

 W ESTY PorxDs to the bushel, oi j/i.tretdgh grade 



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 eent with each shipment of seed. Box 

 (enough for 400 square feet), ^Sc; two boxe.s, of one quart each, 40c, by mail. Peck, 81-25; bushel (201bs.), $4.00. 



GRAND VIEW GOLF GRASS SEED. 



The most important feature of a Golf Links is the sward. To be right it must be composed of grasses that will remain 

 bright green and soft during the hottest and dryest weather, and those that are absolutely hardy in winter as well. They must be 

 so mingled as to give a tough and enduring turf; and. above all, the varieties of grasses employed must be such as will most 

 quickly produce the sort of sward described. To meet these requirements I have given the subject of lawn-producing for Golf 

 Links and Polo Grounds much study; my researches and experiments resulting in the mixture I am selling under the name of 

 •• Grand View Golf Grass." 



This mixture has given the most thorough satisfaction wherever used, producing a dense, tough, soft, bright green turf in 

 from six po eight weeks from time of seeding; and I take great pleasure in offering it, knowing that it supplies the need of the 

 hour in Golf Grass Seeds. It weight is eighteen pounds per bushel. 



Forty-two days from seeding the Links of the Deal Golf Club, at Deal, N. J., with Grand View Golf Grass Seed, the turf 

 was firm and strong, permitting of mowing with horse mower without the least indentation being made in the surface. It 

 remained bright emerald-green throughout the summer and autumn, although at times other grass plots and lawns were sere 

 and brown by reason of excessive heat and drought. Bushel, .*-2.50. Special rates on large lots. 



LOVETT'S TEEEACE MIXTTJEE. This is composed of the grasses which will most quickly produce a rich, deep green 

 and permanent sward upon banks and terraces. Like Grand View Lawn Grass, it is composed exclusively of high-grade recleaned 

 seed. It i_s also very valuable for producing a sod upon hot, dry exposures upon the level. Box, 25c; by mail, 30c. Peck, $1.50. 



LOVETT'S SPECIAL MIXTURE, FOR PERMANENT GRASS. 



Will Last Twenty Years Without Renewal. 



Gk)od pasture land is the fountain of riches upon a farm. The grasses necessary for the largest crops of hay and the best 

 permanent pasture are in this mixture: blended in the proper proportions to produce a rich and profitable meadow for years. 

 This mixture is made up of Orchard Grass and a number of the best perennial grasses; is quick to '• take " aud sure to givee 

 heavy yield of sweet, nutritious hay. A field seeded with this mixture can be cut twice in a season, producing under ordinary 

 conditions two tons of superior hay to the acre the first cutting, and one and a half tons the second. All of the seeds are of the best 

 quality. Sow -SJ^ bushels to the acre. The price of this special mixture of Permanent Grass is— peck, r5c; bushel (15 lbs.), $2.50. 



I supply also a suitable mixture of Clovers (which on account of their heavier weight should be sown separately ). lOlbs.,— 

 sufficient to sow an acre,— 3.5c per lb., by mail; one bushel permanent grass, with 3 lbs. clover (separate) $3.00. 



CEIMSON CIOVEE. One of the most important crops in 

 existence— most valuable for enriching all lands that have 

 been heavily cropped. It is one of the most rapid-growing 

 plants we have. If cut before it comes into full bloom it 

 makes the best of hay; superior even to common Red Clover. 

 Plowed under it will equal the best barnyard manure, and is 

 more lasting than any commercial fertilizer. There are several 

 types of Scarlet or Crimson Clover, only one of which is hardv, 

 and that one is the kind I offer for sale. Sow ten to twelve 

 pounds to the acre. Lb., 30c; 3 lbs., r5c; by mail. By freight 

 orexp-i-es.s, lb., 15c; 10 lbs., $1.25; 25 lbs., S2..50; bu. (60 lb.), 

 $5. .50. 



LUCEENE or ALFALFA CLOVEE. Well adapted to 

 almost any soil, producing from three to four cuttings annually. 

 It grows three feet high and is very productive. Sow 15 lbs. 

 to the acre. Lb., 30c; by mall. By express or freight, lb. 20c; 

 10 lbs., or more, 1.5c per lb. 



ALSIKE or HYBEID CLOVEE. A perennial with a strong, 

 fibrous root. "Very hardy, prolific, sweet, and fragrant. Sow 

 in spring or fall, six to ten pounds to the acre. Lb., 35c; by 

 mail. By express or freisht, ea., 25c; 10 lbs., or more, 20c 

 per lb. 



WHITE DUTCH CLOVEE. Succeeds everywhere, and 

 valuable for mixing in grasses for lawns and pastures. Lb., 

 40c; by mail. By txprese or freight. 30c per lb. 



EED CLOVEE. The well-known standard sort. Prices 

 variable and will be quoted upon application. Small quantities 

 by mail, either of Medium Red or Mammoth. Lb. 30c; or 3 lbs. 

 for 75c, by mail.

New Londox Co., Coxx., March 4, 1898. 

 The Terrace Grass Seed proved all that you claimed for it, 

 setting remarkably well, and is now the only green thing in 

 sight; all else of the surrotmdinss being of a pronounced 

 brown, apparently devoid of life. H. A. BOARDMAN. 



Faribault Co.. Minx., March 7, 1898.
