Barr’s Pure Lawn Grass Seeds 
Produce Beautiful Smooth Lawns, Tennis and Cricket Grounds, Bowling- Greens, etc. 
Renovate Lawns in September, after the wear of Summer. 
The following Mixtures of Grass Seeds are composed of thoroughly cleaned seeds of 
highest quality only, and contain neither Clover nor coarse Grasses ; they cannot fail to give 
the greatest satisfaction. The seed is sold by weight, as being the only correct method of 
estimating the quantity needed for a given space. The Mixtures marked * are more expensive 
this year, owing to the scarcity of some of the short fine-leaved grasses they are composed of. 
Sow 80 lb. per acre , or 1 lb. to every 50 square yards, if the ground is required to be covered quickly, 
and for renovating bald patches, or where the grass is thin or poor, especially after a summer's hard wear 
and under trees, sow 20 to 30 lb. per acre or 5- lb. to every 50 square yards. 
Leaflet on the Management of Lawns free on application. 
*Barr’s New Mixture of Dwarf Evergreen Grasses for producing an Extra Fine 
Smooth Lawn, a special mixture of the finest-leaved and dwarfest-growing perennial grasses, 
which from their fine, close, slow habit of growth and pleasing colour are best suited for forming lawns 
of the shortest and finest herbage, and thus greatly economising labour in mowing. 
Per lb. 2s. 3d. ; 20 lb. for 42s. 
•Barr’s “Standard” Evergreen Grasses, for Garden Lawns, Tennis Courts, etc. 
This mixture is composed principally of the fine-leaved dwarf-growing grasses, all the seeds being 
highly cleaned and of pure and genuine quality. Per lb. Is. 8d. ; 10 lb. for 16s. ; 25 lb. for 38s. 
Barr’s “Thames Embankment” Evergreen Grasses for Parks, Golf Links, 
Cricket Grounds, and Bowling Greens, a special mixture which has been found very 
successful on the Thames Embankment, and in the formation and renovation of many public and 
private parks and squares around London and throughout the country. Per lb. Is. ; 25 lb. for 24s. 
•Barr’s Special Mixture of Evergreen Grasses for sowing under Trees, a careful 
selection of those grasses most suitable for sowing under trees or in shady places. Per lb. 2s. 6d. ; 
per 10 lb. 24s. 
Fine-leaved Fescue Grass ( Festuca ovina tenuifolia ), for sowing where little bulbs are to be 
naturalised, like Narcissi Cyclamineus, Minimus, etc. ; also Scillas, Chionodoxas, Snowdrops, etc. 
Per lb. 3s. 
Dutch Clover, Finest White. No Clover is included in the above mixtures of Grasses, as we consider a 
lawn should consist of Grass alone. If Clover is desired, however, it may be used at the rate of 3 to 5 lb. 
per acre ; but it is preferable to sow the Clover separately from the Grass Seed. Per lb. Is. 6d. 
Barr’s Special Lawn Phytobroma. 
The best manure for Grass Lawns, Tennis Courts, Bowling Greens, Golf Links, etc. 
Apply Spring and Autumn , using 2 oz. to the square yard at each application. 
IBarp’s Lawn Phytobroma is composed of those ingredients calculated to encourage a vigorous growth 
of grass only, and in this respeci differs from the potash manures, which are apt to stimulate clovers and 
coarse weeds. We can confidently recommend it for all grass lands, as, by its use. a thicker growth and a 
richer colour will be obtained. It is a highly concentrated manure, and is therefore economical in use, a 
small quantity only being required at each application. Circular with fuller particulars sent on application.
