Everj' 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 shrul)bery 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 be lutiful 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, thus 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 quahties.

In many lawns there are trees which shade parts and sometimes nearly all the lawn, 

 leaving unsightly places at times. Ordinary lawn seed does not give satisfactory results 

 under these conditions. For sowing in such places I recommend the use of Stokes' Shady Lawn Mixture. In preparing the ground I 

 recommend the use of slaked lime quite liberally (at least 50 lbs. to I, coo sq. ft.). The lime sweetens the soil and aids wonderfully in the 

 growth of the grass. The grasses used in making this special mixture are only those which are well adapted for growing in the shade, 

 which in tneir natural and wild state grow and mature under these conditions. Qt. 25 cts. (postpaid, 35 cts.), 4 qts. 75 cts., pk. $1.40, bus. $5 



Stokes* Lawn-Restoring Grass Seed. ^ mixtijre of grasses particularly suited to take firm hold and grow quickly 



— — on hard, worn-out or burnt spots. It is best to resow m the early sprmg, 



scratching 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. 25 cts., 4 qts. 75 cts., pk. $1.2';, bus. $4.50. 



MIXTURES FCR GOLF LINKS, TENNIS COURTS, CRICKET TABLES, ETC. 



I enjoy a game of golf and have given much attention to the seeding and preservation of both the Fair Green and Putting Greens on 

 golf courses, and the seeding of tennis-courts, cricket tables and grounds, and I can give expert advice and sell tlie choicest seeds for this 

 purpose, and will gladly con espond or personally interview greens' committees. There is nothing to be gained by paying fancy prices 

 for so-called "imported mixtures." I know the wants of our own climate better than any foreigner.
