This is a first-class mixture prepared by our- 

 selves, and containing- nothing but choice seeds-

 months. Widely known and extensively used on 

 the finest private and public grounds around Balti- 

 more, Washington, and elsewhere, with the most 

 satisfactory results. 



Nothing adds to the attractiveness of a suburban 

 home more than a well kept, closely cut, velvety 



lawn; hence the importance of securing the best 

 seeds. This we offer in our selected Evergreen 

 Lawn Mixture, containing different varieties, that 

 grow and flourish at different months of the year, 

 so tnat a rich green, velvety lawn is constantly 

 maintained. It is also adapted to the small grass 

 plots of city homes. Pint, 15 cents; quart, 25 cents; 

 half peck, 75 cents; peck, $1.25; bushel of 20 lbs., 

 $4.50; five bushels, $20.00. 



Park Lawn Grass.

 high-priced grasses as our Evergreen Lawn Grass, 

 but it is superior to many of the cheap grades of- 

 fered, and will make a very nice lawn. Quart, 20 

 cents; peck, $1.00; bushel of 16 lbs., $3.00. 



White Dutch Clover. 



Thrives most everywhere. The best to sow with 

 lawn grass, and valuable to sow with Blue Grass 

 for permanent pastures. 1-4 lb., 10 cents; lb., 30 

 cents. By mail, 40 cents lb.; 4 lbs. for $1.00; 100 lbs. 

 for $20.00. 



Preparation and Care of Lawns. 



The ground should be thoroughly drained and 

 well enriched before sowing. Work the soil until 

 well pulverized, and have the surface as level as 

 possible, so that the grass may present an even ap- 

 pearance. After sowing, cover seed lightly and fol- 

 low with roller. The best results are obtained by 

 tising plenty of seed — four bushels to the acre being 

 about the right quantity. One quart is sufficient 

 for 300 square feet. Let the grass obtain a good 



start before cutting, and then it should be trimmed 

 with a lawn mower about every ten days. Old 

 Lawns may be improved and renewed by the appli- 

 cation of fertilizers and seeding about half the 

 quantitv of seed required for new lawns. This 

 should be done whenever they show any thin places. 



Our Lawn Grass should not be confounded with 

 the cheap, chafCy grasses offered at less prices.
