Lawn Grass Seed Mixtures for 

 .r^^ Autumn Sowing 



Autumn sowing is^recommended from^thel^latter part[of|Aug;ust to the middle of September, so that 

 the young grass may become well rooted before winter sets in. The sowing should be done when the 

 ground is moist or before expected rain; after sowing the ground should be rolled. 



Prices of all Lawn Grasses include free delivery in the United States, by Freight, Express, or Mail at our

THE THORBURN LAWN GRASS 



Many of the finest lawns in America were produced from this mixture. It is composed of 

 permanent 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 acre.
