LAWN GRASS SEED 



Cultural Directions. — The ground should be spaded as deeply as possible and enriched with ground bone or commercial fertilizer if 

 it is poor. Six inches to a foot of good, rich top-soil is desirable. Continued raking of the surface will provide a good seed-bed. The seed 

 should be sown broadcast at the rate here stated, and the surface rolled, if possible. 



Sow one pint to 150 square feet; sow one quart to 300 square feet; sow four quarts to 1,200 square feet; sow one peck to 2,000 square 

 feet; sow one bushel to 11,000 square feet, or y 4 acre; sow 4 bushels to 44 000 square feet, or 1 acre. 



S. S. Lawn Mixture 



This is a well-balanced combination of all the best native and 

 acclimated foreign grasses, blended until we have a mixture which 

 will stand the extremes of the heat, drought and cold of the American 

 climate. Chief of these grasses is the true Kentucky Blue Grass. 

 As the Blue Grass is slow in becoming 

 established, quick-growing varieties are 

 included in order to knit the turf com- 

 pactly and give a fine, dark green lawn 

 in the early spring. This is positively 

 the best mixture that can be made, and 

 is recommended for all types of soil. On 

 properly prepared land it will produce 

 a beautiful lawn four to five weeks 

 after planting. It makes a permanent, 

 deep-rooted turf which improves with 

 age. Pt. 10 cts. (by mail 15 cts.), qt. 

 15 cts. (by mail 25 cts), 4 qts. 50 cts. 

 (by mail 70 cts.), pk. 90 cts. (by mail 

 $1.10), bus. $3.50.

Evergreen Velvet Lawn Mixture 



This is a splendid mixture of native grasses, absolutely free from 

 weeds. It is equal in quality to the best commercial Lawn Grass 

 mixtures on the market. Everyone knows the charm of a beautiful 

 suburban home surrounded by artistically treated grounds. By far 

 the most essential feature is the broad 

 stretch of lawn which surrounds it. 

 The ever-increasing numbers of beauti- 

 ful lawns which have been made through 

 the use of this mixture, is a sure proof 

 that it is of excellent quality. A Lawn 

 Grass Mixture is much preferred to any 

 single grass, for if it is honestly made, 

 the several varieties which constitute it 

 mature at different times of the year, 

 thus keeping the greensward in good 

 color and condition during the entire 

 year. Pt. 10c. (by mail 15c), qt. 15c. 

 "(by mail 25c), 4 qts. 40c. (by mail 60c), 

 pk. 80c. (by mail $1), bus. $3.

Stokes' Shady Lawn Mixture 



We have made this from evergreen grasses, which thrive in the woods under trees and in other shady places. This seed will thrive and 

 produce a fine lawn where other mixtures would fail. It is excellent for use in replanting in shady spots when other grasses have not been 

 successful. If the soil is "sour" and covered with moss, the moss should be hoed away and the land "sweetened" with air-slaked lime at the 

 rate of at least a bushel to 1,000 square feet. The lime aids wonderfully in making the grass start. Our Shady Lawn Mixture is composed 

 only of native, shade-loving grasses. Pt. 10 cts. (by mail 15 cts.), qt.25 cts. (by mail 30 cts.), 4 qts. 75 cts. (by mail 90 cts.), pk. $1.25 (by 

 mail $1.50), bus. $4. 



White Dutch Clover for Lawns 



This is very largely used for lawn purposes, and in mixing with 

 Lawn Grass Mixtures, or for patching old lawns that need renew- 

 ing. It is also very valuable on land seeded with grass or grain, 

 and can be sown from April 1 to September 1. Sow ten to twelve 

 pounds to the acre. Oz. 5 cts. (by mail 8 cts.), V 4 lb. 15 cts. (by 

 mail 20 cts.), lb. 50 cts. (by mail 60 cts.), 100 lbs at 40 cts. per lb. 



Special Mixtures for Country Clubs 



We are prepared to furnish special grass mixtures for any purpose 

 whatever. We have carefully selected formulas for different purposes, 

 and we shall be very glad to furnish estimates on all grades, such 

 as for putting-greens, fair-greens, tennis-courts, cricket-tables, foot- 

 ball-fields, etc. We will also furnish prices on quantities of any of 

 the finer grasses when our customers desire them that way.
