SUTTON’S GARDEN LAWNS 
From Seed. 
HIGHEST POSSIBLE 
AWARDS 
at the 
FRANCO BRITISH 
EXHIBITION, 1908 
Franco-Britisli Exhibiting 
September 1st, 1908. 
We hereby certify that all the 
Lawus of the White City formed by the 
Franco-British Exhibition authorities, 
have been sown with Sutton's Grass 
Seeds and these Lawns, many acres in 
extent, have added greatly to the beauty 
of the Grounds, and are indeed a fea¬ 
ture of the Exhibition. Sutton’s Seeds 
have produced a lovely even grass 
sward in six weeks from the date of 
being sown, and some lawns sown as 
late as July 6th were in three weeks’ 
time clothed with close verdant grass. 
We have never seen more perfect 
lawns, or turf so free from weeds, as is 
here produced from Sutton's Seeds, 
notwithstanding that the soil had but 
very little preparation before being 
sown.
