The most beautiful of lawns is the one o’ershadowed by trees 
Shady Place Formula Lawn Seed. Consists of shade-tolerant grass varieties, properly proportioned, together with sorts 
- _ which do well in sunny situations. So the formula may be used for dense shade as well as tor 
those portions of the lawn which reach out into full light. Use as a minimum allowance, i pound to 400 square feet, or 100 pounds per acre: 
sow half these quantities when renovating a lawn, and use double these quantities for quick results. Usually it is easy to obtain turf under trees 
when our Shady Place Formula is used, but in very stubborn cases 
it may be necessary to renovate the lawn every season for several 
years, proceeding thus: Add lime every autumn at the rate of 50 
pounds per 1,000 square feet; fork the land lightly in the spring, and 
apply Sawconure, 50 pounds per 1,000 square feet; rake smooth and 
sow Shady Place Formula Lawn Seed; rake again to cover the seed 
and either use a roller or flatten with the back of a spade; sow some 
further seeds to renovate the lawn at the end of summer. Lb. 65 cts., 
2 V 2 lbs. $1.55, 5 lbs. $3, 10 lbs. $5.75, 20 lbs. $11, 100 lbs. $50. 
Charges prepaid. 
Bent Turf 
For Extra-Fine Closely Mown Lawns 
The Bents include the narrower-leaved, and, in some 
cases, the creeping types, of the genus Agrostis. 
The Bents are satisfactory only on good land and in 
the open. 
Bent Turf from Seed 
All Bent Formula. ^ mixture of the wonderful Bent Grasses, 
* the dwarfest sorts in cultivation, creeping 
in habit, and capable of producing a dense mat of the finest silky 
turf. To these is added a proportion of high-quality Red-Top. In 
rich soil this formula will produce a turf finer in texture than a lawn 
of the ordinary type, and the creeping character of these varieties 
causes them to almost “felt” together and produce the soft, luxurious 
feel of an expensive rug. The turf is a deep, rich green color. 
All Bent Lawn Seed will produce a sod equal in texture to the 
putting-greens of the more exclusive golf clubs, but for best results 
the soil must be inherently good and should have additional rotted 
manure and Emerald Grass Fertilizer worked into it. Every spring 
and autumn, and several times during the growing season. Emerald 
Grass Fertilizer at the rate of 25 pounds to 1,000 square feet should 
be applied to the turf, first mixing the Fertilizer with six times its 
bulk of fine sifted soil. 
Sow the seed at the rate of i pound per 250 square feet or 175 pounds 
per acre. Lb. $1.15, 21/2 lbs. $2.85, 5 lbs. $5.60, IZVz lbs. $13, 
25 lbs. $25, 100 lbs. $95. Charges prepaid. 
Bent lawns are silk-like, as resilient as a fine-textured rug 
Bent Turf from Stolons 
Bent Stolons. ^ mLxture! Stolons are 
— stems of the living Creeping 
Bent Grass, which are cut into small pieces, broadcast on prepared 
land, and covered with a thin coating of soil. Estimate the size in 
square feet of your new lawn, and then purchase one-eighth the area 
in Creeping Bent Stolons. For instance, if the lawn is to be 20 by 
40 feet (800 square feet), buy 100 square feet of the Stolons. 
Note. We recommend Stolons only when special effort in planting 
and after-care can be given; we advise the use of seed for ordinary 
lawn making. Stolons of Creeping Bent are not satisfactory in the 
shade. 
Both Metropolitan and Washington Strains are available.
