Velvet Green 
D. & B.’s Velvet Green Lawn Grass is composed entirely 
of the very highest grade and most suitable Grasses for 
making a beautiful lawn as respects color, texture and per¬ 
manency. We have made a careful study of the difficulties 
met with in making a pretty and permanent lawn, and 
after many years of experiment we have made this per¬ 
fectly balanced mixture of American and European Grasses 
which do best in our climate—only the finest grades are 
used in this mixture, both as to purity and germination. 
September, October and November are the ideal months for 
seeding your lawn. 
It should be kept in mind, when comparing prices, that 
this grass is composed of the choicest, cleanest and heaviest 
seeds. It produces a beautiful and enduring turf without 
the aid of cheap, quick growing seeds that are only of 
temporary value; and we feel safe in saying that a better 
Lawn Grass cannot be secured at any price. Per lb., 50c; 
2 lbs., 95c; 5 lbs., $2.00; 10 lbs., $3.80, postpaid. Not post¬

SHADY PLACE LAWN GRASS 
We do not know of any Grass that will flourish and thrive 
in places that are constantly shady, but this mixture is best 
adapted for sowing under trees and other partly shady places 
where it is difficult to get other Grasses to grow successfully.

D & B’s GRASS MIXTURES 
It has long been an established fact that Grass Seed when 
sown in mixture makes a far better yield of hay and also a 
better pasture than any one variety. We have made a careful 
study of Grass Mixtures, and in offering the following we have 
the ideal mixtures for the purposes for which they are recom¬ 
mended. Only the highest grade of seed are used and they are 
thoroughly mixed in the proper proportions to give the best 
results. In the Hay mixtures we use only the Grasses which 
have proven the best to sow together and which mature and 
ripen together, which is, of course, necessary to get the best 
crops, while our pasture mixtures are composed of grasses 
which mature at different times, thereby giving a continuous 
pasturage.

grazing, you cannot do better than sow one of these Mixtures.

TIMOTHY—This makes an excellent hay. Is very nutritious 
and is easily marketed, as there is always a good demand 
for first class Timothy hay, but it is not recommended for 
pasture, as it is injured by close cutting or grazing. It 
thrives best on heavy, moist soils, but does not do well or. 
thin, light, dry land. Sow 15 lbs. to the acre. Good crops
