Evergreen Lawn Grass 



PREPARATION AND CARE OP LAWNS, — The ground should be thoroughly drained and well enriched before sowing. Work 

 the soil until well pulverized, and have the surface as smooth as possible, so that the grass may present an even appearance. 

 After sowing, cover seed lightly and follow with roller. The best results are obtained by using plenty of seed, four bushels to 

 the acre being about the right quantity. One quart is sufficient for 300 square feet. Let the grass obtain a good start before 

 cutting, and then it should be trimmed with a lawnmower about every ten days. Old lawns may be improved and renewed by 

 the application of fertilizers and seeding about half the quantity of seed required for new lawns. This should be done when- 

 ever they show any thin places. 



GRIFFITH & TURNER CO.'S EVERGREEN LAWN GRASS. — This is a first-class mixture, prepared by ourselves, and con- 

 taining 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 extensively used on the finest private and public grounds with the most satisfactory 

 results. Nothing adds to the attractiveness 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 city homes. % lb. (about 1 pt.) 15c., ?4 ID.

GRIPPITH 8s TURNER CO.'S GOLF LINK 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 highly essential that golf and cricket grounds should be mowed closer than 

 ordinary lawns. 14 pounds to bushel. Bushel, $7.00. 



SHADY NOOK GRASS. — On nearly all lawns there are bare spots under the shade trees. With this mixture the above 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 slacked lime at the rate of one bushel per thousand square feet, but the moss should be first removed 

 with a rake. Price: Lb., 35c 5 Lbs., $1.60. Bu. of 20 lbs., $6.00. Add 8c per lb. for postage.- 



"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; that will with- 

 stand drought and exposure, thrive on shallow soils. Pound, 35c. Peck, $1.25. Bushel of 14 lbs., $4.50. 



PARK LAWN GRASS. — A very good mixture of Lawn Grass, made of the purest grasses, but not as good as our Evergreen 

 Lawn Seed. Suitable where a fine lawn is not required. Pou-nd, 25c. 5 lbs. (pk.), $1.25. Bushel of 20 lbs., $4.00.
