Under Trees or in Shaded Places. 
We are frequently asked for a prescription of Grass Seeds that will produce herbage likely to thrive in situations generally denuded of growth, such as under 
I rees or on Lawns that are in a confined place, and upon which the sun and air cannot exert their influences. It would be presumption on our part to lead our 
customers to believe that we can cover such spots with a close velvety turf such as exists in the more exposed portions of their Lawn. At the same time there is 
no getting away from the fact that certain grasses will thrive in shaded situations, as witness the close undergrowth in old copses, along green drives, and under 
established plantations, where is frequently to be found quite a verdant carpet. The soil under overshadowing trees is generally of the poorest description, the 
roots having taken all the nourishment out of it. Constant dripping from the branches is very detrimental to grass under the trees as it rots their fibrous roots and 
the growth wilts away. 
Price 25s. per bushel ; 3s. 3d. per gallon ; Is. 3d. per lb ; Is. per packet. 
Golf Links. 
We have on our permanent staff a certificated botanist and expert in grasses who has already visited many of the leading golf links in the country. He is 
always able to give useful hints to those in charge of the greens, &c., as to the grasses that are likely to wear and thrive successfully, and the manures that will 
give the most beneficial results upon the soil of the locality. We charge his out-of-pocket expenses only, when sent to advise. 
Carters’ Special Prescription of close-growing grasses for putting greens contains the finest-leaved grasses only, mixed in proportion to suit the particular soil 
upon which seeds are intended to be sown. It is an ad vantage in the preparation of the prescription if we can have a turf from the green for analysis. This enables 
us to send the same species that are natural to the locality. The putting green can then be renovated with grasses of the same texture and colour as already exist. 
It is very important that we should see either the green or a turf.

MANURES FOR STIMULATING GRASS, &c. 
The following- special prescriptions are based upon many years’ experience, and are most useful for the purpose of imparting 
vigour, closeness, and colour. 
CARTERS' LAWN MANURE. No. 1 Mixture. 
For Top Dressing or Raking In. For general purposes on Old and New Lawns. 
Directions for using Carters’ Lawn Manure. — For putting down a New Lawn, it should be sown as soon as the ground is thoroughly prepared for 
the seed, and raked in, care being taken to sow it as evenly as possible, as the appearance of the Lawn will be materially affected by this. 
For Top Dressing, it should be sown immediately after cutting the grass, and, if possible, just before a shower of rain. If the weather is dry, water the Lawn 
after top dressing. This manure will be found very effective and lasting. 
Price in Bags — 14 lb., 4s. ; { cwt., 7s. ; h cwt., 10s. ; I cwt., 18s. ; Tins, Is., 2s., and 3s. each. 
CARTERS' SPECIAL GRASS MANURE. No. 2 Mixture. 
For Top Dressing only. For thickening Cricket Pitches, Tee Pieces, Putting Greens, &c., and checking the growth of Weeds. 
This Manure is recommended for top dressing only, and should be sown immediately after the grass has been mowed, and, if possible, just before a shower 
of rain, but should the weather be very dry it is advisable to thoroughly water the ground after applying the Manure. Old and deep-rooted weeds should be cut out 
or destroyed, but all Seedling Weeds will rapidly deteriorate under the influence of this preparation. Apply at the rate of 2 ozs. to the square yard. 
On poor soils we recommend an alternate dressing of our No. 1 and No. 2 Mixtures, or an Autumn or Early Spring dressing of the former ; for putting down 
a New Lawn, we advise our No. I Mixture. This should be sown as soon as the ground is prepared and levelled for the seed, and raked in, care being taken to sow 
it as evenly as possible, as the appearance of the Lawn will be materially affected by this. 
Carters’ Special Grass Manure discourages the growth of all weeds, stimulates and improves the growth of the grass, and produces a sward of a rich 
Emerald Green Colour. The manager at the Oval pronounces this Manure as the best dressing he has ever applied, and claims that the splendid condition of the 
ground during the past few seasons is due to its efficacy.
