Grass Seed. 



Am. Grass Seed, whether for lawns, colk links, kikld, farm or pasture purposes, should l)e the 

 best of its kind ; thoroughly well cleaned and in perfectly fresh condition when sown. 



In Order io Meet the Increased Demand for reliable .seeds special facilities are offered in 

 furnishing the very best mixtures, and all of the staple kinds of seed in any quantities that may be 

 desired, and at lowest current prices. 



Much Care is exercised in having all seeds pure and fully up to the specified grade, alike as to 

 quality and condition. 



Special Formulas of Lawn, Golf Link or Field Seeds are furnished at lowest prices. 



LAWN GRASS SEED. 



In order to ohtain a Satisfactory Lawn the 

 quality of the seed used is of the greatest import- 

 ance. Even with the most careful preparation 

 of the soil a velvety turf, which is always such an 

 attractive object, cannot be secured without clean, 

 sound, germinating seed. 



The Soil should be in good fertile condition, 

 well drained and rolled before and after seeding, 

 so that an even surface may be secured, and the 

 seed pressed firmly into the ground. 



As A rule early Spring seeding during March 

 or April and in moist weather is preferable. 



Many Lawns are injured by too close cutting 

 during the summer months ; and as a rule too 

 frequent cutting is also injurious. 



In early spring a top dressing or good fertilizer 

 is always beneficial; and a well established lawn 

 well cared for should remain in satisfactory con- 

 dition for years. 



For new Lawns 5 to 6 bush, per acre are re- 

 quired. In renovating old lawns from i to 3 

 bush, per acre. 



The following carefully selected mixtures 

 are made up from pure, fresh seed of the best 

 perennial kinds for producing an even, continu- 

 ous and permanent lawn. 



Choice Lawn Grass Seed. A superior mixture, 



equal to the best grade quoted by some houses. 



$3-75 per bush, of 15 lbs. 

 Extra Choice Lawn Grass Seed. An extra 



choice mixture. The very best. $4.50 per 



bush. 



Lawn Grass Mixture for Shaded Places. A 

 special mixture for growing under trees or in 

 shaded situations. $4.50 per bush. 



GOLF LINK GRASS SEED. 



The ri.EAsi KK to be derived from a game of 

 golf depends largely upon the quality of the turf 

 on the links, etc. Golfers all realize how impos- 

 sible it is to do themselves justice over a course 

 of poor turf. 



A SMOoi'H AND springy SURFACE Can only be ob- 

 tained by sowing the proper seed that will give 

 the desired results and stand well the wear and 

 tear of constant usage. 



Not infrequently by the use of inferior seed 

 or of a mixture unsuited to the native soil a golf 

 course presents an unattractive appearance for 

 an entire season. 



The mixture and quality of seed for Putting 

 Greens are al.so of equal importance. 



The following specially prepared mixtures 

 may be relied upon as containing the finest and 

 cleanest seeds obtainable for the purposes men- 

 tioned, and have given excellent satisfaction 

 wherever used : 



Golf Links Mixture. The best mixture for 

 "Fair Green," Outlying Grounds, Polo 

 Grounds etc., $2.50 per bush, of 15 lbs. 



Putting Green Mixture. The very best for Put- 

 ting Green, Terraoes and Embankments, $5 

 per bush. 



Special formula? of Golf Link Seed will be 

 quoted on request. 



FIELD, MEADOW AND 

 PASTURE GRASS SEED. 



Nearly all of the hardy grasses for field pur- 

 poses will succeed well sown either in early 

 Spring, or in September or early October in 

 Autumn. 



Of the many varieties of these field grasses 

 the selection should be made as adapted to the 

 soil, altitude, etc., as the varieties that succeed 

 on high and dry grounds, or sandy soil, are not 

 adapted to low grounds where clay or heavy soil 

 predominates. 



From the large numher of \ arieties a special 

 mixture of a few of the hardiest and best kinds 

 usually gives the best results. 



These Special Mixtures for New Pastures, 

 for renovating Old Pastures and for Hay 

 and Permanent Pastures, are furnished at 

 $2.50 and $3 per bush, of 15 lbs., and at special 

 prices in quantity. 



As the prices of these field grasses vary, 

 quotation for all the leading kinds, such as the 

 Blue Grass, Bent (Jrass, Fescue, Orchard 

 Grass, Timothy, Red and White Clover, 

 Red Top, Rye Grass, etc., will be quoted upon 

 application.
