BARR’S SPECIAL SEED FOR GRASS PATHS AND BORDERS. 
A charming feature in well-laid-out Spring gardens are close velvety grass walks. They are soft 
to walk upon, restful to the eye, and provide a delightful contrast to the colours in the flower border. 
Broad bands of green grass separating the gravel path from the flower border are a great improvement to 
a garden. Sow in September, per lb. 2/-. 
Barr’s Lawn Grasses for September Sowing.— Lawns should be renovated in 
September, after the wear and tear of Summer, sowing at the rate of i lb. per too square yards, bor 
prices and full particulars see Barr’s Lawn Grass circular, sent post free.
