Holmes' Shady Nook Lawn 



MIXTURE 



holmes' capital park lawn grass seed 



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 velvety 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 Mixture. 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 qts. $1, pk. $1.60, bus. of 20 lbs. $5.50.
