Stokes' Standard Lawn Grass Seed 



Every one knows the charm of a beautiful suburban home surrounded by artistically treated grounds, and of its essential features none 

 is so important as the beautiful, rich, smooth, velvety lawn. Plantings of shrubbery should be kept close to the buildings, or near the sides 

 or corners of the grounds, leaving an unbroken stretch of turf to give character and dignity to the home. 



With care exercised in the preparation of the soil, being exceedingly careful that it has at least 6 inches to i foot of good, rich top soil, 

 with the seed properly sown and rolled after seeding, a beautiful lawn can be had, ready for mowing in four or five weeks' time. 



A lawn grass mixture is much to be preferred to any single grass, as, if it is honestly made, the several varieties of grass which com- 

 pose it mature at different seasons of the year, ihus keeping the green sward in good color and condition during the hot weather, not losing 

 its color, as the single variety is liable to do, and making a much heavier and thicker turf. 



The following mixture can be absolutely relied on as being made up of the finest qualities of grass seed obtainable, free from weed 

 seeds, and of the very best and highest germinating qualities.

 seed thickly and then rolling. Some of the Lawn-Restoring Grass

STOKES' SPECIAL GRASS AND CLOVER MIXTURES 



The advantage of sowing grasses and clover seeds in mixtures has long been recognized, and the practice is increasing to a remarkable 

 extent. I am always glad to give my customers the benefit of my experience, and will take pleasure in advising them as to suitable grasses 

 for their soils and special conditions, if they will correspond with me in regard to it. 



Grass Mixtures for Permanent Pastures and Mowing Lands 



These famous mixtures are a well-balanced combination of a number of native and acclimated foreign grasses and clovers, blended so 

 as to produce a permanent, dense and deep-rooted turf that will yield year after year the maximum quantity of hay, and afterward to 

 afford, if desired, a constant and abundant pasture. The yield of hay under favorable conditions averages 3 to 4 tons per acre at the first 

 cutting. After the hay crop is cut, the grass commences to grow at once, recovering its verdure in a few days, and affords excellent pas- 

 turage even through dry summer weather. Both our No. 1 Mixture for Permanent Pastures and our No. 2 Mixture for Permanent Mowing, 

 if properly laid down, will maintain their valuable qualities 20 years or more if they are occasionally top-dressed with manure and 

 occasionally sprinkled with grass seed.
