GRASS AND CLOVER SEED MIXTURES 



For Golf Courses, Hay, and Pastures 



These Mixtures give the most satisfactory results to customers, and our trade in them is increasing rapidly. The advantage 

 of sowing grasses and clover seed in mixtures has long been recognized, and the practice is increasing to a very remarkable extent. 

 We will take pleasure in advising our customers what grasses are suitable for their soils and purposes. 



We have in the following mixtures combined grasses adapted to various soils and the uses for which they are recommended. 

 Those for permanent pastures are composed of grasses which succeed each other in growth, and give a succession from the first 

 of spring until late winter, while in those for hay we have combined grasses which ripen together. In all our mixtures we are 

 introducing small quantities of alfalfa clover with the idea of inoculating the land with alfalfa bacillus. Alfalfa revolutionizes 

 farming, but the bacillus must be established before the revolution can occur. In all our mixtures we use the very best seed.

SPECIAL GOLF MIXTURES 



FOR PUTTING-GREENS 



For this purpose a close, low-growing grass is required that 

 will withstand lots of tramping and make a springy, tough 

 turf. After thoroughly experimenting and scientifically test- 

 ing, we have formulated a mixture that will give the ideal 

 putting-green. This mixture will grow on almost any soil. 

 Lb. 70 cts.; 100 lbs. $60. 



MIXTURE FOR GOLF TEES 



A most enduring sod is needed on the entire golf course, 

 and this mixture will produce a sward that will withstand 

 rough usage and continue to grow through the most strenuous 

 season. Lb. 50 cts.; 100 lbs. $40. 



FOR FAIR GREENS 



For the rest of the course, where a very close-growing sod 

 is not necessary, but a beautiful, velvety, green grass is 

 desired, we especially recommend our special mixture for fair 

 greens. By using it in connection with our special mixture for 

 putting-greens it assures an even, velvety, green golf course 

 equal to the best of lawns. This mixture will thrive well even 

 on poor soil. Lb. 50 cts.; 100 lbs. $40.
