Bank and Terrace Mixture 
Sow for Quick Results and Permanence 
A splendid mixture of varieties with strong, deep¬ 
spreading roots of quick growth. Most effectual in 
binding loose soils, and preventing slopes from being 
washed out by rains. Blended for adverse condi¬ 
tions and to produce a fine, smooth, velvety sod of 
a beautiful rich green. Broadcast 25 lbs. of Vert to 
each 1,000 square feet and rake in lightly. Sow 
1 lb. of our Bank and Terrace Mixture to each 250 to 
300 square feet and rake again lightly and firm with 
a roller or the back of a spade. On steep slopes it 
may be well to sow a quart of seed oats to each 2 lbs. 
of seed to help retain the surface.

Perry’s Bent Grass Mixture 
For Those Who Appreciate Quality 
A beautiful green lawn is the ambition of most 
home owners. Bent grasses make beautiful lawns 
in New England when given the necessary attention. 
More and more attention is being focused on Bent 
grasses because of the interest in golf clubs where 
so much Bent seed is used. To satisfy this demand 
we offer this mixture blended from a formula em¬ 
ploying these fine bladed Bent grasses and calculated 
to produce through creeping root stocks on rich soil 
a closely matted turf of soft luxuriance. 
Prepare your soil with unusual care and fertilize 
with Vert at the rate of 25 lbs. per 1000 square feet. 
Do not attempt to reduce the cost of starting a lawn 
by economizing on seed. As a rule, lawns are not 
large and the difference in cost between light and 
heavy seeding is not great. Sow seed at the rate of 
1 lb. to each 250 square feet to secure a thick stand 
at the beginning and to assist in holding weeds in 
check. 
Several times during the season broadcast % oz. of 
sulphate of ammonia mixed with six times its bulk 
of finely sifted soil to each square yard of surface. 
lib. $1.25, 5 lbs. $6.10, 10 lbs. $12.00, 20 lbs. $23.60, 
50 lbs. $58,00, 100 lbs. $115.00.

Putting Green Mixture 
For Ideal and lasting Greens 
There is a growing demand for a lawn grass mix¬ 
ture that will produce at home a turf as fine as on 
putting greens of golf clubs. For various reasons it 
is usually safer to sow a mixture of grasses than to 
depend upon one grass. To meet these needs we 
have prepared a formula from those high-grade 
grasses employed on golf courses—of known purity 
and germination that the utmost of satisfaction may 
be secured. 
We recommend it highly and suggest when sow¬ 
ing to prepare the soil and fertilize it in the usual 
way. In order to secure even distribution, divide 
the seed and broadcast one-half each way of the 
lawn, allowing 1 lb. to every 150 to 250 square feet. 
lb. $1.00, 5 lbs. $4.90, 10 lbs. $9.60, 20 lbs. $18.80,

White Dutch Clover for Lawns 
This is the popular low, creeping Clover that 
almost everyone wants in his lawn seed mixture 
because its little pink blossoms look so pretty.

bright green and dense foliage should other grasses 
fail. Thrives almost anywhere, but at its best in 
wet seasons and on heavy, moist soils. Especially 
adapted to pastures and should be in every pasture 
mixture. The seed is fine, and 8 to 10 lbs. will sow 
an acre. We offer an especially high grade lot of seed.
