For Lawn Tennis

be firm and yet elastic, fine and composed of grasses which may 
be mown closely. Also, it must be one which will stand up well

15 pounds per 2,000 square feet when building new courts; allow 
one-half this quantity for renovating. Lb. 65 cts., 2 V 2 Ihs. $1.55,

For Polo 
Hurlingham Formula. The mixture used successfully on the well- 
known English field. Only the toughest, deepest-rooting varieties 
of grass will survive the pounding and tearing of polo ponies. 
Maximum depth of root may be obtained, too, by incorporating 
Sawconure or rotted stable manure with the upper 5 inches of top¬ 
soil when building a field; also by almost daily mowing, but with the 
cutters set as high as the play will permit—in other words, mow the 
grass very frequently, but as “long” as possible. Use 200 pounds 
of this seed per acre for new fields. Lb. 65 cts., 5 lbs. $3,12 V 2 lbs. 
$7, 25 lbs. $13, 100 lbs. $45. Charges prepaid.
