GRASSES FOR LAWNS — Continued 
Morse's Terrace Mixture, just the mix- 
ture for those dry terrace slopes. Per lb. 50c. 
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, thus being easier to 
cut and looking better at all times. Per lb. 25c; 
per 10 lbs. $2.25; per 100 lbs. $20.00. 
Morse's Velvet Lawn Mixture, a i awn 
grass for wet places. Per lb. 40c; 100 lbs. $30.00. 
White Clover. This is the little dwarf grow . 
ing clover used for lawns in many places, especially 
around Berkeley, with much success. The color is 
dark green, the leaves are small and close together 
making a desirable lawn. The chief advantage 
however, is that white clover roots deeply and so 
requires less care and water and still looks well 
Per lb. 75c; per 10 lbs. $7.00. 
LAWN MAKING 
DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING A LAWN: Prepare the soil well; this means spade it over and dig in some fertilizer or manure, 
Let the ground stand a month, or else do not apply fertilizer until grass is three months old. Two 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 stiff, 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 the year if there is 
plenty of water. Use one pound of seed to 250 square feet of la 
Fertilizer. To Insure a rapid growth of grass some kind 
of fertilizer is necessary, especially In lawns where the 
nourishment of the soil has been used up by continuously 
growing on the same place. "We have a fertilizer especially 
prepared to invigorate the growth of grass and to keep 
it that dark green color. Use one and one-half pound* to 
one hundred square feet, and make two applications eaoh

GRAINS 
We have had so many inquiries for SEED GRAINS in past seasons that we have decided to 
list most of the regular market varieties of BARLEY, OATS, WHEAT and RYE. 
Our prices will naturally be a little higher, as we send out nothing but recleaned seed. On ac- 
count of the fluctuation in the market value of all GRAINS, it is impossible for us to quote a quan- 
tity price which would hold good throughout the season; consequently, we are not giving prices on 
amounts above 50 lbs. Write or wire us for prices where not given. 
The price on quantities under 50 pounds is at one cent advance over the 50-lb. price. 
BARLEY 
WHEAT 
COMMON. We have endeavored to get hold of seed stock 
that is clean and plump; 50 lbs. @ 3c per lb.; 100 lbs. 
at market rates. 
RYE 
WINTER. Grown for hay by dairymen, but principally for 
grain; is also planted with Vetch, and in combination 
makes an excellent fodder; 50 lbs. @ 3^c per lb ; ioo 
lbs. at market rates. 
BLUE STEM. The most popular variety; used principally 
for hay, on account of being beardless; also used in 
mixture with Black Oats. 50 lbs. @ 5c per lb.; 100 lbs. 
at market rates. 
SONORA WHEAT. This is the variety used in the lower 
San Joaquin Valley and is very suitable for warm, dry 
climates; 50 lbs. @ 4y 2 c per lb.; 100 lbs. at market 
rates. 
TURKEY RED. Used for blending in the manufacture of 
flour, on account of its hardness and high gluten con- 
tent; it has also become very popular for poultry feed- 
ing. 50 lbs. @ 4c per lb; 100 lbs. at market rates. 
BLACK. Used principally along the Coast, where fogs pre- 
vail, where other sorts of oats would rust; 50 lbs. & 
5c per lb.; 100 lbs. at market rates. 
RED (Coast Red Oats). Are used principally in the in- 
Zl° r J,° T n 'f, a Cllan&e ° f Seed; they are eas "y dls- 
ngnushed by their dark color from those grown away 
rrorn the Coast; 50 lbs. @ 3V 2 c per lb; 100 lbs. at mar- 
Ket rates. 
OATS 
RED (Inland Oats). Are also used extensively and produce 
the same quality of hay as the Coast Oats. There is 
probably more Red Oat Hay grown than of any other 
variety, and it is deservedly popular- 50 lbs. @ 3Vz c 
per lb.; 100 lbs. at market rates. 
SURPRISE OATS. This variety is used principally in the 
mountains in the interior part of the State, where it is 
very popular. When grown at lower levels it makes 
very coarse straw and for this reason is not desirable. 
50 lbs. @ 3V£c per lb.; 100 lbs, at market rates.
