THE LAWN 



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 Icnown 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 city homes. 

 Pt. 15 cts., qt. 20 cts., by mail 30 cts.; 2 qts. 35 cts., V2pk. 

 65 cts., pk. $1.15, Bus. (20 lbs.) $4. 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 be first removed 

 with a rake. Lb. 30 cts., 5 lbs. $1.25, Bus. (20 lbs.) $5. Add 

 8 cts. per lb. for postage. 



GRIFFITH & 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. Bus. (14 lbs.) $5. 



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 

 withstand drought and exposure, thrive on shallow soils. 

 Lb. 25 cts., pk. S5 cts., Bus. (14 lbs.) $3. 



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. Lb. 

 20 cts., pk. (5 lbs.) $1, Bus. (20 lbs.) $3. 



WHITE DUTCH CLOVER. Tlirivcs most everywhere. 

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

 for permanent pastures. ^, 4lb. 15 cts., ' Ub. 25 cts., lb. 45 cts., 

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



PREPARATION AND CARE OF LAWNS. The ground should be thorougiily 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, 4 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 lawn mower about every 10 days. Old lawns may be improved and renewed by the application ol 

 fertilizers and seeding about half the quantity of seed required for new lawns. This should be done whenever they show any thin 

 places.
