Buckbee's Kentucky Blue Grass. Specially Grovm for Me 

 "In Old Kentuck}', Where the Meadow Gra^s is Blue." 

 Many prefer this to a mixture of grasses, and the fact can- 

 not be denied, that a lawn of Blue Grass only is maguificent ; 

 it takes longer, however, to get it established. Very de- 

 sirable for wood lawns, pastures and especially excellent 

 for winter pastures because of its thick, heavy growth. 

 Owing to short crops, prices will rule a little higher. Mv
