Holmes' Sh©Ldy Nook Lawn. Mixture 



The beauty of many lawns to-day is marred by the unsightly bare spots under shade trees, shrubbery 

 and close to walks, due to the continued shade throughout the day. Unfortunately the regular Lawn Grass 

 Seed will not thrive well in shady places, but we have, by long experience in the study of grasses and their 

 growing natures, succeeded in making a Special Mixture for Shady Places, that will produce a 

 vfelvety green sod in the very shadiest nooks and corners. The special grasses that are used in this mixture 

 are mostly imported and high-priced, and we can recommend this variety to our most critical trade. 

 The grasses are all fancy recleaned varieties, and we make the prices as low as possible consistent with 

 the quality offered. Ground that is densely shaded is usually covered with moss and clumps of coarse 

 grasses, which should be removed and the ground covered with slacked lime before sowing our Special Mix- 

 ture. This process will sweeten the ground, and then by sowing Shady Nook Mixture it will produce 

 a lawn of velvety appearance. Qt. 35 cts., postpaid : by freight or express, qt, 30 cts., 4 ats.
