Purposes 
For Lawns, Shaded Lawns, Golf Courses, Airports and Landing Fields, Bowling Greens, Football,

We supply in this vicinity nearly all of the cemeteries, public parks, golf courses and other places where con' 
siderable quantities of grass seed are used and are prepared at all times to furnish the highest quality seeds for all 
purposes. 
We put up special mixtures for all purposes and will b 
be required. 
We offer the following splendid mixtures which can b 
"Shady Nook” Lawn Seed 
For sowing on the north side of buildings, between 
houses, and for securing lawn under large shade trees. 
In many lawns there are places where it seems as though 
nothing can be grown; some are shaded by large trees 
and others by buildings. For these locations we rec- 
ommend our Shady Nook Lawn Seed. It is always ad' 
visable for those who are seeding down the shady places 
to su^oly new soil, if possible, especially if large trees 
are producing the shade, as their roots spread so fast 
as to exhaust the nourishment in the soil. When unable 
to supply new soil, the ground should be well dug over, 
and if the tree roots predominate, these should be taken 
out. In most shady places the soil has a tendency to be 
sour, and we strongly recommend the use of lawn lime 
(about 50 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft.). Per Yz lb., 25c; 1 lb., 
40c; 5 lbs., #1.85; 10 lbs., #3.50; 20 lbs., #6.50. 
Bent Lawn” Grass Mixture 
This is composed of Agrostis varieties only, a mixture 
of the wonderful Bent Grasses with a proportion of high 
quality Red Top. In rich soil it will produce a turf much 
finer in texture than a lawn of the ordinary type, and 
the creeping character of these grasses causes them to 
mat together and produce the soft, luxuriant feel of an 
expensive rug. The turf is a deep, rich green color. For 
this mixture the soil should be exceptionally good and 
should have additional rotted manure worked into it. 
very glad to estimate on any special mixture that may 
e relied on to be the very highest quality. 
Several times during the growing season, Wedo, the 
special fertilizer for lawns only, should be applied to 
the turf at the rate of \/i lbs. per 100 sq. ft.. Sow the 
seed at the rate of 1 lb. per 250 sq. ft. This is par' 
ticularly heavy seed, one bushel weighing 30 pounds. 
Per lb., 65c; 5 lbs., #3.10; 10 lbs., #6.00; 20 lbs., #11.00; 
100 lbs., #50.00. 
Hillside or Terrace Lawn Seed 
For high, dry situations where moisture and poor soil 
are conditions to be contended with. It is composed of 
grasses that will succeed fairly well under these condi' 
tions and produce short green turf of fair quality. Per 
Yz lb., 20c; 1 lb., 35c; 3 lbs., #1.00; 5 lbs., #1.50; 10 
lbs., #2.75; 20 lbs., #5.00. 
Golf Cou rse Mixtures 
It is most important that the best seeds be used and 
in proper proportions to produce desired results. New 
golf courses require somewhat different mixtures than 
old courses, because it is imperative that quick sod 
should be obtained and one which will be lasting 
and produce good, green, smooth turf. From our long 
experience with grasses, we are well informed on the 
requirements for the average golf course whether it be 
for greens or fairways and will be glad to figure with 
you. The fact that we are among the largest importers 
of grass seeds and one of the largest cleaners of domes' 
tic sorts, enables us to offer at very reasonable figures.
