Save Time — Save Labor — Save Speed 



When renovating old turf or in new construc- 

 tion always harrow after seeding. 



Harrowing loosens the top soil; opens up the 

 t'irf so air and moisture can get in. Gives a 

 I ealthier, sturdier, closer growing stand of long 

 v.'earing sod. Livens up the soil, strenghtens the 

 plant roots so that divots will fill up quickly; 

 v/i'-n and burned spots will come back in record 

 time.

THOMPSON'S GOLF SPECIAL SEEDER 



Golf greens, fairways and lawns must be seeded evenly to produce the desired 

 imiform turf. 



Thompson Golf Special Seeders are used on America's leading golf courses and 

 private estates because they are speedy, accurate and economical. Wind or mud 



do not interfere with their 

 accurate work because they 

 sow close to the ground and 

 cannot clog. 



The light weight, perfect 

 !m lance and few working 

 li.a ts appeal to the man who 

 uses the seeder and permit 

 him to do more and better 

 work. Sowing by hand is 

 slovenly and wasteful. The 

 sate, sure and economical 

 nii'thod is with the Thomp- 

 son Golf Special Seeder. 



For a large amount of 

 frround to cover we suggest 

 two Or three of these Seed- 

 ers, providing the job of 

 sci'rting needs to be done 

 ■ liiickly just when the 

 urmmd is in the right con- 

 dition to receive the seed.
