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 extensively used on the finest private and public 

 grounds around Baltimore. Washington, and elsewhere, 

 with the most satisfactory results. 



Nothing adds to the attractiveness of a suburban home 



more than a well kept, closely cut, velvety lawn; hence 

 the importance of securing the best seeds. This we offer 

 in our selected Evergreen Lawn 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 also adapted to the small 

 grass plots of city homes. Pint, 10 cents: quart, 20 cents:

Preparation and Care of Lawns. 



The ground should be thorousrhly drained and well 

 enriched before sowing. Work the soil until well pul- 

 verized, and have the surface as level as possible, so that 

 the grass may present an even appearance. After sow- 

 ing, 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 3CHJ square feet. Let the grass ob- 



tain 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 renewed by the application 

 of fertilizers and seeding about half the quantity ot seed 

 required for new lawns. This should be done when- 

 ever thev show anv thin places. 



OVK iLAWN GRASS should not be confounded with 

 the cheap, chaffy grasses offered at less prices.
