Grass Seeds for Autumn Sowing 



Autumn sowing is recommended from the latter part of August to the end of September, so that the young 

 grass may become well rooted before winter sets in. 



The Thorbum Lawn Grass 



(UNIVERSAL PARK MIXTURE) 



Practically all the finest lawns in America were pro- 

 duced from this mixture. It is composed exclusively of 

 permanent grasses that make a finer and thicker turf 

 the older they become, and yet give a rich green sward 

 in three or four weeks from the time of sowing. The 

 ordinary Central Park Lawn Grass Seed as usually 

 sold is not to be compared with this superior mixture. 

 It should be sown at the rate of 4 to 5 bushels to the

 $1 ; bus. of 15 lbs., $3.50.
