Grass 5 e e<IS 
FOR 
Lawns and Pleasure Grounds. 
Grass seeds are my chief specialty. I have devoted much time and made many 
experiments 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 — 
CRESTED DOOSTAILS. 
Kentucky Blue Grass, Sheeps’ Fescue, 
Fine-leaved Fescue, Hard Fescue, Crest- 
ed Dogstail, Sweet Vernal, Meadow Fox- 
tail, Poa Nemoralis, Rhode Island Bent, 
and Perennial Ryegrass • blended to- 
gether in proper proportions to produce 
a fine green lawn during the whole sea- 
son. This is my best mixture and there 
is none better even at fancy figures. 
Handling grass seeds in large quantities 
I am enabled to give my customers the 
benefit of close figures. I designate this 
mixture the
