GRASS SEED FOR LAWNS, GOLF LINKS, ETC. 



L.A.WN GRASS SEED. An even velvety turf is always an attractive object and Indispensable for the beet 

 lawn effects. To secure this result, careful preparation of the soil and the very best quality of seed are important. 



The soil should be in good fertile condition, well drained, and should be rolled in seeding to secure an evea 

 surface and in order that the seed may be pressed firmly into the ground. 



Early in spring, during March or April, in moist weather, is the most favorable time for seeding. 



Too close cutting in the dry months of the summer is often injurious ; indeed, it may be said that more lawna 

 are injured in this way than from any other cause. 



Where the best seed la used and proper care given, a good lawn may be kept in perfect condition for years. 



The special Lawn and Golf mixtures here quoted are carefully selected from recleaued seed of the best peren- 

 nial kinds for producing a continuous, permanent lawn the entire season.
