GRIFFITH & TURNER CO.'S EVERGREEN LAWN 

 GRASS. This is a first-class mixture of our own preparation, 

 and containing nothing but choice seeds — just the thing for 

 tennis-, croquet- and ball-grounds, remaining green and fresh 

 during the hot summer months. Widely known and exten- 

 sively used on the finest private and public grounds with the 

 most satisfactory results. Nothing adds to the attractive- 

 ness of suburban homes more than a well-kept, close-cut, 

 velvety lawn; hence the importance of securing the best 

 seeds. It is adapted to the small grass plots of citv homes. 

 Lb. 30 cts., 3 lbs. 85 cts., 5 lbs. $1.25, Bus. (20 lbs.) $5, by 

 Freight or Express not prepaid. 



SHADY NOOK GRASS. On nearly all lawns there are bare 

 spots under the shade trees. With this mixture they can 

 be easily corrected. Ground that has been densely shaded by 

 trees is frequently "sour" and is apt to be covered with moss. 

 In such cases apply slaked lime at the rate of one bushel per 

 thousand square feet, but the moss should first be removed 

 with a rake. Lb. 35 Cts., 5 lbs. $1.50, Bus. (20 lbs.) $6. 



GRIFFITH & TURNER CO.'S GOLF LINKS MIXTURE. 

 There being a growing demand for a grass mixture suitable for 

 golf- and cricket-grounds, we have made a study of the grasses 

 best adapted to these purposes, and have made a mixture in 

 proper proportions to give desired results. It is highl\ essential 

 that golf- and cricket-grounds should be mowed closer than 

 ordinary lawns. Bus. (14 lbs.) $5.50. 



TERRACE SOD MIXTURE. A special mixture of grasses 

 best suited for sowing on terraces, railroad embankments, and 

 side hills — grasses that produce strong, spreading roots, thus 

 preventing heavy rains from washing them out, and that will 

 withstand drought and exposure, tiiriving on shallow soils. 

 Lb. 30 cts., pk. $1, Bus. (14 lbs.) $3.50. 



WHITE DUTCH CLOVER. Thrives most everywhere. 

 Best to sow with lawn grass and valuable to sow with blue 

 grass for permanent pastures. '/^Ib. 15 Cts., Valb. 20 cts., lb. 

 40 Cts., by mail 50 cts., 10 lbs., by Express, not prepaid, $3.50. 



PARK LAWN GRASS. A very good mixture of 

 lawn grass, made of the purest trasses, but not as 

 good as our Evergreen Lawn Seed. Suitable where a 

 fine lawn is not required. Lb. 25 cts., pk. (5 lbs.) 

 $1, Bus. (20 lbs.) $4. 



PREPARATION AND CARE OF LAWNS. The 

 ground should be tlioroughi\ drained and well en- 

 riched before sowing. Work the soil until well 

 pulverized, and have the surface as smooth as 

 possible, so tliat the grass may present an even 

 appearance. After sowing, cover seed lightly and 

 follow with roller. The best results are obtained b> 

 using plenty of seed, 4 bushels to the acre being 

 about the right quantity. One quart is suOicicnt 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 10 days. Old lawns max 

 be improved and renewed by the application of 

 fertilizers and seeding about hall' the quantity ot 

 seed required for new lawns. This should be done 

 wlu-nexer they show an\' thin places. 



On all grass seeds, if ordered by parcel post, 

 add 8 cts. per lb. extra
