FALL SOWING OF GRASS SEEDS 
In this latitude, Fall Sowing (that is from about August 25th to September of grass seeds 
tfor lawns and permanent pastures is on the increase; in fact many expert gardeners claim it to be 
the best time of the year. Half a bushel of Seed Oats or Timothy it usually sown per acre as 
a mother to the tender grass. 
Grass Seeds are one of my chief specialties. I have devoted much time and made many experi- 
ments to determine the best varieties for various purposes, especially in the formation of Lawns 
and Pleasure Grounds where permanence and a close green turf are the great desideratums. My 
mixture for this purpose consists of ten varieties Kentucky Blue Grass, Sheeps’ Fescue, Fine- 
leaved Fescue, Hard Fescue, Crested Dogstail, Sweet Vernal, Meadow Foxtail, Poa Nemoralis, 
Fiorin or Creeping Bent and Perennial Rye- 
grass, blended together in proper proportions 
to produce a fine green lawn during the whole 
season. This is my best mixture and there 
is none better even at fancy figures. Hand- 
ling grass seeds in large quantities I am able 
to give my customers the benefit of close 
figures. I designate this mixture the
