LOW’S CATALOGUE OP SPECIALTIES. 
No single feature of a rural or suburban home is so suggestive of a grand and refined taste a 
the presence of a beautiful, well kept “ Lawn.” Its possession is also a source of much pleasuri 
and comfort to the owner; therefore it is not at all singular that so many should endeavor, ever; 
season, to obtain one on and about their homesteads. A “Good Lawn” is a “Thing of Beauty,' 
and to make one a person must understand and know its construction. 
LOW’S CHOICE LAWN MIXTURE. 
Many of the "Lawn Grass Mixtures” sold for choice seed, are nothing but a mixture of common grasses 
(If mixed at all), and consequently have given poor and unsatisfactory results to the purchaser. Having had 
more or less annoyance from such mixtures, we were compelled to buy the grasses separately and compound 
them ourselves. After trying several combinations we have discarded all but one, this seemingly to be per- 
feetly adapted to our latitude, and is giving most pleasing and perfect satisfaction. We have named this com- 
pound “Low’s Choice Lawn Mixture,” to distinguish it from the common mixtures, over which it is far su- 
perior, as tlie varieties of grasses used are selected from the best “American Grasses,” in view of being 
thoroughly adapted to the vicissitudes of our climate, etc. Lawns seeded with this mixture readily withstand 
our severest winter without injury, and the common complaint of winter killed lawns is thus avoided 
by using it. We have put it up In quantities to suit purchasers; as a guide to those wishing to purchase, wc 
would state that one quart will sow a space 15x20 feet, or 300 square feet; four bushels will be sufficient to 
sow one acre. It must be remembered that to get a good set it must be sown twice as thick as if sown for hay. 
In this latitude the seed may be sown at any time during the months of April and May, and in the fall, the 
month of September is the best. If sown in the months first mentioned, it will make a good lawn by August 
under favorable conditions. Sometimes lawns are seeded in the hot weather of June and July, but with not 
so good results, as in that case a thin sowing of oats or something similar must be made to protect the young 
grass from the too violent heat of the sun. Specia l prices for larger quantities given on application ; if by 
mail, add ten cents to quart price. Price per qt., 20 cts.; per 4 qts., 60 ets.; per pk., SI ; per bu., 16 lbs., *3.50.
