Grasses for Lawns 
Grass seed does well planted in the fall. Now the sun is not so hot that it will scorch the young 
shoots, and if not sown just before heavy frosts this is probably the best time of the year. Don't 
plant too deep; keep the soil always moist; follow the directions below, and you will get a good lawn. 
The Golden Gate Park in San Francisco uses each year large quantities of our fine lawn grasses. 
You can have a lawn just as good as any of theirs by giving proper care and sowing MORSE'S 
LAWN GRASS, which is of excellent quality. 
(Pound and 10-pound prices are postpaid to the Fourth Zone.) 
CALIFORNIA LAWN MIXTURE 
Contains only the finest leaved grasses in the 
correct proportion to make a good fine turf 
which will look well in summer and winter. 
Per lb. 40c, per 100 lbs. $35.00. 
PACIFIC RYE GRASS (MORSE'S) 
The best grass for a straight lawn in any sandy 
soil such as is about San Francisco. Pacific 
Rye Grass is like the hardy Australian Rye 
Grass, but is longer lived and of a much finer 
leaf. Per lb. 25c, per 100 lbs. $20.00. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS 
Makes a lawn of a dark-green color. It forms a 
fine mat with care and plenty of water and is 
the best straight lawn grass for all soils except 
sandy ones. Per lb. 40c, per 100 lbs. $30.00. 
SPECIAL SHADE MIXTURE 
On account of the war, we cannot obtain the nec- 
essary grasses to make a first-class mixture, 
and accordingly we do not offer this at present. 
WHITE CLOVER 
This is a little' dwarf growing lawn clover. The 
color is dark green, and the roots run deeply. 
Per lb. 75c, 10 lbs. $7.00. 
DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING A LAWN: Prepare the soil well: this means spade it over and dig in some fer- 
tilizer or manure. Let the ground stand a month, or else do not apply fertilizer until grass is three months old. 
1 wo weeks before planting roll and water the ground well and before sowing the seed hoe the soil, but do not 
spade it. This will kill countless thousands of small weeds which are always in the soil and would otherwise have 
to be pulled up by hand — a laborious job. 
Sow the seed evenly and roll it in or sprinkle a good cover of sandy loam over it. Where a roller is not 
available, rake the seed in lightly and press down by patting with spade. Water twice a day until grass comes up. 
In stif , clayey soils, if planting in summer, use straw or leaves to protect the germinating seeds until the grass is 
an inch high. Make the lawn any time of year if there is plenty of water. 
Use one pound of seed to 250 square feet of lawn. Keep free from weeds, water well and cut regularly. 
MORSE'S "GOLDEN GATE PARK"

to make the sod for the park playgrounds, 
where the grass has to endure much tramping 
over. The mixture also contains a very little 
white clover. Per lb. 35c, per 100 lbs. $26.00. 
AUSTRALIAN RYE GRASS
