Grass Seed for Autumn Sowing 



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

 young grass may become well rooted before winter sets in. 



The Thorburn Lawn Grass 



Many of the finest lawns in America were pro- 

 duced from this mixture. It is composed of perma- 

 nent grasses that make a finer and thicker turf the 

 older they become, and yet give a rich greensward 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
