MIXTURES for GOLF COURSES 
That we may serve golf clubs to better advantage and 
furnish golf mixtures that are best adapted to the soils 
and climate of New England, we have made careful study, 
growing tests, and comparisons of and with the mixtures 
used here and on golf courses abroad. 
These seeds are of the highest grade, carefully tested 
for purity and germination. We are prepared to furnish 
at short notice these mixtures or any other mixture of 
golf grasses which we have in stock, made up especially 
to suit a club’s particular needs.

After repeated trials and tests for several years, we have 
come to the conclusion that Loma meets the requirements 
of the average lawn-owner better than any other chemical 
fertilizer. We unhesitatingly recommend it as a Spring dress¬ 
ing for old lawns or for general fertilizing purposes in the 
laying out of new lawns. It is necessary after spreading Loma 
to thoroughly water it into the lawn, thus preventing the 
burning of existing turf. Never apply when the grass is wet.

BRECK’S SPECIAL SEASHORE 
LAWN GRASS MIXTURE 
The grasses going into this mixture have been 
carefully selected for the r deep-rooting qualities, 
their resistance to salt-spray, and for their ability 
to withstand drought and the conditions in¬ 
variably found on poor and sandy soils. Before 
sowing this special formula, 5 pounds of Wood 
Ashes or Poultry Manure should be applied and 
raked into the surface soil to every 100 square 
feet. At least 1 pound of seed should be sown to 
every 300 square feet.
