Griffith & Turner Co.'s Evergreen Lawn Grass 



This is a first-class mixture prepared by ourselves, 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 e.xtensively used on 

 the finest private and public grounds around Baltimore, Washington and elsewhere 

 with the most satisfactory results. Nothing adds to the attractiveness of sub- 

 urban homes more than a well-kept, closely-cut, velvety lawn; hence the impor- 

 tance of securing the best seeds. This we offer in our selected Evergreen I^awn 

 Mixture, containing different varieties that grow and flourish at different months 

 of the year, so that a rich, green, velvety lawn is constantly maintained. It is 

 adapted to the small grass plots of city homes. Pint, 10c. Quart, 20e.; bv mail, 

 25o. % Peck, 6oc. Peck, $1.10. Bushel of 20 pounds, $4.00. By freight or express,

Preparation and Care of 

 Lawns 



THE ground sliould be thoroughly 

 drained and well enriched be- 

 fore sowing. Work the soil un- 

 til well pulverized, and have the 

 surface as level as possible, so that 

 the grass may present an even ap- 

 pearance. 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 sufllcient for 300 square 

 feet. Let tlie grass obtain a good 

 start before cutting, and then it 

 should be trimmed with a lawn 

 mower about every ten days. Old 

 lawns may be improved and re- 

 newed by the application of fertil- 

 izers and seeding about half the 

 quantity of seed required for new 

 lawns. This should be done when- 

 ever they show any thin places.

SHA.DY NOOK GRA.SS 



On nearly all lawns there are bare spots 

 under the shade of trees. With this mixture 

 the above can be easily corrected. It is a com- 

 bination of grasses whicli are found growing 

 In the woods in their natural state. 



Ground that has been densely shaded by 

 trees is frequently "sour" and is apt to be 

 covered witli 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.
