Our Lawn Grass Seed 



Produces a perfect and enduring Lawn of luxuriant richness, with 

 closely interwoven, firm, deep and elastic turf, and it is generally 

 ready for cutting in six weeks from time of sowing and is composed 

 of a thoroughly balanced combination of native and foreign fine 

 leaved, deep rooting grasses of interweaving habit, that flourish under 

 our varied conditions, soils and climates, growing during different 

 seasons of the year, so that a deep green, smooth and velvety sward 

 free from clumps is maintained from snow to snow without burning 

 brown in the hot months of summer. 



A Lawn may be established either by "sodding" or "seeding." 

 The latter is not only much less expensive, but much more satisfac- 

 tory, as better grasses can be thus obtained, and the quality and va- 

 riety of the grasses have a great deal to do with the appearance and 

 the permanency of the Lawn. 



Buckbee's Famous Lawn Grass Mixiure 



This famous Prize-winning Lawn Grass is made up of a most 

 evenly balanced combination of native and foreign fine-leaved, deep- 

 rooting grasses that interweave and flourish in different soils and cli- 

 mates, showing each its best strength at seasons different from the 

 others, and thus l<eeping the Lawn vigorous and green from winter's 

 end to winter's next advent.

 pensive grasses as our "Famous Mixture." but full provision Is made 

 for a succession of growth and a rareful blending in proper proportion 

 and thoroughly mixed for quickly producing a permanent, thick and 

 velvety sward of uniform growth and rich green grassiree from coarse- 

 ness. Price, postpaid, J lb. 18c.; lb. 30c.; 3 lbs. 78c. By express or

Shady Place Lawn Grass Mixture 



On nearly all lawns there are unsightly bare spots under the shade 

 of trees, which have baffled all efforts to get into grass, but with this 

 mixture there need be no further ditBculty. It is a combination of 

 fine, dwarf -growing, evergreen varieties which in their wild or natural 

 state are to be found growing in the woods or other sheltered and 

 shaded spots. Ground that has been densely shaded by trees is fre- 

 quently "sour" and if the drainage is defective it is apt to be covered 

 with moss and coarse bog grasses. In such cases an apphcation of 

 slaked Ume, at the rate of one bushel to each thousand square feet, 

 or forty bushels to the acre, is an excellent corrective and sweetener, 

 but the moss should be first removed by the use of a sharp rake. 



Sow from 50 to 60 pounds per acre for a new lawn or bowling green; 

 15 to 20 pounds per acre will be sufficient to improve existing turf. 

 Price, postpaid, lb. 38c.; 3 lbs. $1.00. By express or freight, not pre- 

 paid, 5 lbs. $1.25; 15 lbs. $3.10; 25 lbs. $5.75; SO lbs. $11.00; 

 100 lbs. $21.00. ^
