Johnson & Stokes’ Evergreen Velvet Lawn Seed Mixture 
Is the Best Lawn Grass Seed for the American Climate. It is a well-ascertained fact that a thick 
and more prolonged growth is produced by a mixture of many sorts of grasses than by only one or two. 
for every different kind and condition of soil there are grasses that are especially suitable. Some 
mature early, others late ; so that from the beginning of spring until winter sets in, there is no time 
when one species or another is not at its best. For this reason a lawn mixture is strongly advised 
rather than any one particular grass seed. Our Evergreen Velvet is composed of the very best mixture 
of grasses that will produce this beautiful effect throughout the whole of the growing season. It has 
become widely known and is largely used on the best public and private grounds around Philadelphia, 
New York and other large cities. Price, qt., 20c; qt., postpaid, 25c.; 4 qts., 60c.; peck, $1.00; bush.’

For Destroying Worms on Putting-Greens and Lawns the following formula is advised : Take 1 
ounce corrosive sublimate and mix with 2 quarts of water, and then add 40 to 50 gallons of water and 
sprinkle the ground, using an ordinary water-pot. The worms come to the surface and die and can be 
swept off.
