Barr’s “ Pure ” Grasses, for sowing in September (See below). 
BARR’S “PURE” CRASS SEEDS 
Produce Beautiful Lawns, Tennis and Cricket Grounds, Public Parks, etc. 
gaT Renovate Lawns, etc., in Septembe r , after the w ear an d tear of Summer , For renovating 
20 to 30 tbs. of Grass Seed are required per acre. 
The following Mixtures of Grass Seeds are all thoroughly cleaned, and cannot fail to give the greatest 
satisfaction. 1 here are neither clover nor coarse grasses in the mixtures. 
To ensure a Fine Lawn, free from weeds and coarse grasses, it is most important that the soil to be sown 
should be quite clean, that is, Iree from the seeds of objectionable plants, and the grass seeds used should con- 
sist solely of the fine-leaved dwarf-growing grasses. In Sowing Grass Seeds always take advantage of rainy 
or damp weather, and after sowing, give a slight covering of clean finely-riddled soil ; this, followed by 
rolling, when the soil is sufficiently dry, will ensure a successful vegetation. After this, frequent cutting and 
constant rolling will be necessary to have a fine smooth lawn.
