Farquhar's Special Mixture for 

 Athletic Fields 



A special mixtxire of grasses producing a close, matted turf of 

 great resiliency. The grasses are all fine-leaved, deep-rooting, 

 hardy, and retain their green color even in dry weather. Many 

 of the leading athletic fields in New England are using this Grass 

 Seed Mixture with complete satisfaction. Sow at the rate of 125 

 to 150 pounds per acre. Lb. 70c.; 5 lbs. $3.40; 10 lbs. $6.50; 

 100 lbs. $60.00. 



Farquhar's Putting-Creen Mixture 



The hardiest and finest low-growing grasses are contained in 

 this mixture. It produces a beautiful and lasting green turf cal- 

 culated to withstand hard tear and wear. Sow at the rate of 1 

 pound per 200 square feet, even thicker than this would be bene- 

 ficial in some instances. The average green will require about 50 

 to 80 pounds. Lb. 90c.; 5 lbs. $4.35; 10 lbs. $8.50; 100 lbs. $80.00. 



Farquhar's Fair Green Mixture 



This is composed mainly of perennial grasses which have proven 

 of great value for fair green use. They are all of dwarf, spreading 

 growth, forming an even and lasting turf which improves from 

 year to year if given proper care. It contains no clover, which is 

 objectionable on account of making the surface slippery. If 

 white clover is desired, the quantity sown should not exceed 2 

 pounds per 100 pounds of grass seed. Sow 100 to 150 pounds per 

 acre. Lb. 65c.; 100 lbs. at 60c. per lb.; 1,000 lbs. at 55c. per lb. 



Farquhar's Shady Place Mixture 



This is a mixture of extra-fine grasses adapted for growing in 

 the shade and imder trees. We recommend the use of this mix- 

 ture wherever other grasses have failed to make a close sward on 

 account of shade. To obtain the best results, the seed should be 

 sown very early in spring. In most shady places the soil has a 

 tendency to be sour, and we suggest the use of Land Lime at the 

 rate of about 100 pounds to each 2,000 square feet to sweeten it. 

 Sow at the rate of 1 pound per 300 square feet for a new lawn, or 

 about half that quantity for renovating existing turf. Lb. 60c.; 

 5 lbs. $2.90; 10 lbs. $5.75; 100 lbs." $55.00. 



Farquhar's Tennis-Court Mixture 



A mixture of fine grasses consisting of those varieties which are 

 adapted to produce a close, elastic turf. For the best results a 

 sowing of about 1 pound per 200 square feet will be required. 

 Lb. 90c.; 5 lbs. $4.35; 10 lbs. $8.50; 100 lbs. $80.00. 



Farquhar's Terrace Mixture 



A mixture of strong, deep-rooted grasses for banks or terraces. 

 Although the grasses are strong and deep-rooted, they will pro- 

 duce a fine green velvety surface, and also prevent washing away 

 during heavy rains. One pound will sow approximately 300 square 

 feet of new lawn. Lb. 60c.; 5 lbs. $2.90; 10 lbs. $5.75; 100 lbs. 

 $55.00. 



Farquhar's Seashore Mixture 



A combination of various dwarf deep-rooted grasses adapted 

 for lawns near the salt water. The seeds should be sown early in 

 the season, so that the young plants may be well established 

 before warm weather. Use at the rate of 1 pound per 300 square 

 feet, 100 to 130 pounds to the acre. Lb, 65c.; 5 lbs. $3.15; 10 lbs. 

 $6.25; 100 lbs. $60.00.
