 GRASS 

 SEEDS 



A Lawn maybe 

 established either 

 by " sodding " 

 or "seeding:." 

 The latter is) ot only 

 much less expensive, but 

 much more satisfactory, 

 as better grasses can be 

 thus obtained, and the 

 quality and variety of 

 the trasses have a great 

 deal to do with the appear- 

 ance and permanency of 

 the lawn.

BUCKBEE'S KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. 



Many prefer this to a mixture of grasses, and the fact cannot be denied that a lawn of Blue Grass only is mapnifl- 

 cent; it takes longer, however, to get it established. Very desirable for wood lawns, pastures, and especially excellent

 choice variety, postpaid, ner lb. 30c, Write for prices on larger quantities.

 sells rapidly. Postpaid, lb. 25c Write for prices on larger quantities. 

 BUCKBEE'S EXTRA SPECIAL LAWN FERTILIZER, 



Especially prepared to furnish nutriment for all varieties of Lawn Grass, 

 Which being voracious in nutriment will not thrive and hold its dark green 

 color and velvety appearance unless it be supplied with the best fertilizer, 

 The lack of a good fertilizer is the reason there are so 

 many poor, rusty-looking, unsightly lawns. It is better 

 than stable manure, because it acts quicker and is free 

 from any waste. Use this Lawn Fertilizer if you would 

 have a beautiful and sturdy growth of grass. This Fertil- 

 izer, used in connection with any one of my special 

 Grass Seed Mixtures, will enable you to produce a per- 

 fect lawn. If you have a lawn in fair condition, rake 

 off dead leaves and grass in the early 6pring. Scatter 

 some of the Fertilizer broadcast over the surface, 

 using in connection a little of Buckbee's World's 

 Fair Mixture on the thin spots and the results will 

 well repay you. The grass can be kept luxuriant 

 throughout the season with a little care. Never
