PART OF CHESTMT GROVE LAWX, BALTIMORE COUXTY. 



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 extensively used on 

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

 with the most satisfactory results. Xothing 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 

 Mi.xture, 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, 20c.; by mail, 

 25c. Vs Peck, 65c. Peck, fl.lO. Bushel of 20 pounds, $4.00. By freight or e.vpress, 

 not prepaid, 



Preparation and Care of 

 Lawns 



THE ground should 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 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 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. 



Our I>nivn Grass Should Not Be 

 Confounded with the Cheap, 

 Chaffy Grasses Offered 

 at Low Prices. 



Park Lawn Grass 



This mixture does not contain so 

 mucli of the higli-priced grasses as 

 our Evergreen Lawn Grass, but it is 

 superior to many of the cheap grades 

 offered, and will make a very nice 

 lawn. Qt., 20c.; Peck, $1.00; Bus. of 

 16 lbs., .f3.00. 



"TERRACE" .SOD MIXTURE}. 



A special mixture of grasses best 

 suited for sowing on terraces, rail- 

 road embankments and side hills — ■ 

 grasses that produce strong, spread- 

 ing roots, thus preventing heavy 

 rains from washing them out; that 

 will withstand drought and expos- 

 ure, thrive on shallow soils, and at 

 the same time produce a rich, vel- 

 vety green turf throughout the sea- 

 son. Qt., 35c.; Peck, $2.00; Rus. of 

 2(» lbs., $7.00. If by mail, add at tlie 

 rate of 5c. a quart for postage. 



SHADY NOOK GRASS 



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 with moss. In sucli 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: I.b., 35c.; 5 Ib.s.. $1.65; Bu. of 20 lbs., 

 Su.OO. Add Sc. for postage. 



WHITE DUTCH CLOVER 



(Trifoliuni Repens.) See page 31. 



The best variety for lawns, as it forms 

 a close herbage and remains green through- 

 out the season. It is also valuable when 

 mixed with grass seeds for pasture. Sow in 

 spring at the rate of 6 pounds per acre when 

 sown alone, half the quantity when sown 

 with other grasses. 



Pound, 25c. By mail, 35c. 10 pounds by 

 express. $2.25. 



THE "RET" LAWN TRIMMER 



Used for trimming 

 grass from the edges 

 of sidewalks. It will 

 carve out a little strip 

 of sod and deposit it 

 on the walk several 

 inches from the edge, 

 where it may be very 

 easily swept up. 



GRIFFITH & TURNER CO.'S GOLF LINK MIXTURE 



Bushel $2.75. Ten Bushel Lots $2.50. 



There being a growing demand for a grass mi.xture suitable for golf and 

 cricket grounds, we have made a study of the grasses best adapted to these 

 purposes, and liave them mixed in proper proportions to give desired results. 

 Many of the public and private grounds around Baltimore and other places 

 have been sown with our mixtures, and tlie grounds liave won the admira- 

 tion of thousands of visitors. 



It is highly essential that golf and cricket grounds should be mowed 

 closer than ordinary lawns, l-l pounds to bushel.
