Cole's Central Park Lawn Grass Seed 



AN EXTRA CHOICE MIXTURE 



In making a new lawn, it 

 is desirable that all tree 

 planting and lajT.ng out of 

 flower beds should be ac- 

 complished fii'st. The ground 

 should then be thoroughly- 

 dug or plowed to the depth 

 of 10 or 12 inches, using lib- 

 erally well-decompost^d man- 

 ure or "fertilizers." It is 

 also essential for a fine lawn 

 to have proper drainage, a 

 careful preparation of the 

 soil, thorougli rolling and a 

 selection of the seeds of such 

 grasses as will present a lux- 

 uriant verdure from early 

 spring till late in autumn; 

 and the frequent mowings 

 with a lawn mower. How- 

 ever much care is bestowed 

 on the soil and seed, no 

 lawn will be beautiful with- 

 out frequent mowing and 

 rolling.. We have given 

 much thought, and many 



experiments to secm-e the best mixture, and think what we offer is the best possible mixture for per- 

 manent lawns, resisting the severe droughts of our climate better than any other. It may be sown very 

 early in spring or fallj and should be sown at the rate of from 3 to 4 bushels per acre." One pound is 

 sufficient to thoroughly sow 800 square feet of ground. It should be borne in mind that^ in order to pro- 

 duce the best results, grass seeds for lawns should be sown at least twice as thicklv as if sown for hay

SWEET FODDER CORN 



SWEET FODDER CORN. There is 

 nothing better for green feed, or for cming for 

 winter than sweet com. Cattle highly relish it, 

 and when fed on it keep in fine condition and 

 give an abundance of milk. It has the great merit 

 of being so sweet and palatable that cattle eat 

 every part of the stalks and leaves. Also excellent 

 for soiling. Sow in drills or broadcast. 



EVERGREEN LATE FODDER CORN. 

 Per pk. 50 cts., bu. $1.50, 2 bu. $2.75. 



EARLY FODDER SWEET CORN. Fine 

 for early feed in summer when pastures are short. 

 Per pk. 50 cts., bu. $1.50, 2 bu. $2.75. 



KAFFIR CORN 



An excellent fodder plant for the farmer. The 

 heads are long and perfectly erect, well filled with 

 white grain. The average height of growth on ffood, 

 strong land is five to six feet. The seed heads grow 

 from ten to twelve inches in length, and the product 

 of grain on good land easily reaches fifty to sixty 

 bushels per acre. The whole stalk, as well as the 

 blades, cures into excellent fodder. Can be sown 

 broadcast at the rate of % bushel per acre, but does 

 best sown in drills three feet apart, using 5 to 6 lbs. 

 of seed per acre. Cover seed an inch deep, sow 

 when weather is settled and ground is warm. Per 

 pkt. 6 cts., % lb. 10 cts., lb. 20 cts., 3 lbs. 50 eta., 

 pk. 40 cts., bu. $1.25. 



SAND or WINTER VETCH 



Though it succeeds and produces good crops on 

 poor sandy soil, it is more vigorous on good land 

 and grows to a height of 4 to 5 feet. It is perfectly 

 hardy throughout the United States, remaining green 

 all winter, and should be sown during August and 

 September, mixed with Rye, which serves as a sup- 

 port for the plants, or in spring vrith Oats or Barley. 



It is the earliest crop for cutting, being nearly a 

 month earlier than Scarlet Clover, and a full crop 

 can be taken off the land in time for planting spring 

 crops. Every dairyman and .stock-breeder in the 

 United States should have a field of it, and if you 

 try it once you will never be a season without it. It 

 is exceedingly nutritious, and may be fed with safety 

 to all kinds of stock. 



Sow one bushel per acre with one-half bushel of 

 rye or oats. Per lb. 25 cts., pk. $1.00, bu. $4.00. 



SUGAR CANE SEED 



EARLY AiVIBER. This popular variety 



has very nearly taken the place of all other sorts.

 amber syrup, succeeds well both north and south; 

 culture and time of planting same as com, and 

 may be planted as late as the 15th of June, Two 

 or three pounds are required per acre. Per lb. 20
