R, L. Gould & Co. Seedsmen Since 1898 St. Paul, Minn. 
Beautiful Lawn of St. John’s Hospital, Saint Paul, seeded with Gould’s Reliable Lawn Seed 
Gould’s Terrace Lawn Seed 
For embankments, terraces and steep hillsides. 
A variety of grasses that grow long, strong, spreading 
roots so as to withstand heavy rains from washing out 
the sod or soil. Gould’s Terrace Mixture is especially 
prepared for sowing on terraces, embankments and steep 
hillsides. The deep-rooted grasses not only prevent heavy 
rains from washing it out, but also resist drought to a 
marked degree. Seeds in this splendid mixture grow 
fast and produce a quicker sod than ordinary grasses 
do. The terrace should have an extra heavy sod, there¬ 
fore seed should be sown heavier than recommended 
for regular mixtures.

Nutria Peat Moss 
For Lawns and Gardens. 
Nutria Peat is a high lime granulated peat, clean, odor¬ 
less and pleasant to work with. It is an excellent soil 
builder. It will lighten clay or heavy soils and build 
up sandy or light soils. It conditions and changes 
otherwise poor soil into one of rich, mellow texture. 
Nutria Peat Moss will hold 15 times its weight in mois¬ 
ture, thus soil does not dry out as quickly and needs 
less watering. Makes an excellent top dressing for new 
or old lawns. Peat is also valuable to use in the garden 
to give the soil that mellow texture and prevent crust¬ 
ing. Is almost as cheap as ordinary black earth. Large 
bag, $1.00; 2 bags, $1.50; 3 bags, $2.00; 2 cubic yard 
load (equal to 20 bags), $5.00, delivered within the city 
limits of St. Paul. 
Farlv It has always been our policy to fill 
M-itxi ly orders the day that they are received, 
but on account of the uncertainty of weather conditions, 
it is advisable to anticipate your needs early and pur¬ 
chase your supply while our stocks are complete. You 
are then prepared to take advantage of the arrival of 
suitable weather for planting at any time. There is 
also the danger of running out of some varieties, in the 
latter part of the season. So order early.

Gould’s order blanks whenever pos¬
