The Standard Lawn Mixture 



This is a well-balanced combination of all the best native and 

 acclimated foreign grasses, blended until we have a mixture which 

 will stand the extremes of the heat, drought and cold of the 

 American climate. Chief of these grasses is the true Kentucky 

 Blue Grass. As the Blue Grass is slow in becoming established, 

 quick-growing varieties are included in order to knit the turf 

 compactly and give a fine, dark green 

 lawn in the early spring. This is 

 positively the best mixture that can 

 be made, and is recommended for 

 all types of soil. On properly pre- 

 pared land it will produce a beautiful 

 lawn four to five weeks after planting. 

 !t makes a permanent, deep-rooted 

 turf which improves with age. Pt.

Evergreen Velvet Lawn Mixture 



This is a splendid mixture of native grasses, absolutely free from 

 weeds. It is equal in quality to the best commercial Lawn Grass 

 Mixtures on the market. Everyone knows the charm of a beau- 

 tiful suburban home surrounded by artistically treated grounds. 

 By far the most essential feature is the broad stretch of lawn 

 which surrounds it. The ever-increasing numbers of beautiful 

 lawns which have been made through 

 the use of this mixture is a sure 

 proof that it is of excellent quality. 

 A Lawn Grass Mixture is much pre- 

 ferred to any single grass, for if it is 

 honestly made, the several varieties 

 which constitute it mature at different 

 times of the year, thus keeping the 

 greensward in good color and condi- 

 tion during the entire year. Pt. 10c. 

 (by mail 15c.), qt. i5c. (by mail 

 25c.), 4 qts. 40c. (by mail 60c.), pk. 

 80c., bus. $3, 10 bus. $28. 



Stokes' Shady Lawn Mixture 



We have made this from evergreen grasses, which thrive in the woods under trees and in other shady places. This seed will 

 thrive and produce a fine lawn where other mixtures would fail. It is excellent for use in replanting in shady spots when other grasses 

 have not been successful. If the soil is "sour" and covered with moss, the moss should be hoed away and the land "sweetened" with 

 air-slaked lime at the rate of at least a bushel to 1,000 square feet. The lime aids wonderfully in making the grass start. Our Shady 

 Lawn Mixture is composed only of native, shade-loving grasses. Pt. 10 cts. (by mail 15 cts.), qt. 20 cts. (by mail 30 cts.), 4 qts. 

 75 cts. (by mail 90 cts.), pk. $1.25 (by mail $1.50), bus. $4. 



White Dutch Clover for Lawns 



This is very largely used for lawn purposes, and in mixing with 

 Lawn Grass Mixtures, or for patching old lawns that need renew- 

 ing. It is also very valuable on land seeded with grass or grain, 

 and can be sown from April 1 to September 1. Sow ten to twelve 

 pounds to the acre. Oz. 5 cts. (by mail 8 cts.), Vilb. 15 cts. (by 

 mail 20 cts.), lb. 50 cts. (by mail 60 cts.), 100 lbs. at 40 cts. 

 per lb. 



Special Mixtures for Country Clubs 



We are prepared to furnish special grass mixtures for any 

 purpose whatever. We have carefully selected formulas for 

 different purposes, and we shall be very glad to furnish estimates 

 on all grades, such as for putting-greens, fair-greens, tennis- 

 courts, cricket-tables, football-fields, etc. We will also furnish 

 prices on quantities of any of the finer grasses when our customers 

 desire them that way. 



Stokes' Lawn-Restoring Grass Mixture 



Many lawns, particularly those that have been standing a number of years, or are in close proximity to a hedge or large trees, 

 seem worn out and become infested with weeds and moss. This is largely due to neglect and the presence of acid. In the fall give the 

 lawn a good coating of air-slaked lime, rake hard with an iron-toothed rake, and give it a good sprinkling of pure ground bone, the 

 more finely ground the better. Then sow this Lawn-restoring Grass Seed broadcast, at the rate of at least two to three bushels to the 

 acre, and, after seeding, roll thoroughly with a hand roller weighing at least 300 pounds. Price same as Evergreen Velvet.
