Shady Spot Lawn Seed 
For sowing on the north side of buildings, between houses, and for securing a lawn under 
large shade trees. 
In many lawns there are places which seem as if nothing can be grown; some are shaded by large trees and others by 
buildings. I'OI these locations we have offered for some time our Shady Spot Lawn Seed, which readily meets the 
desired requirement. 
•r It i is always advisable for those who are seeding down the shady places to supply new soil, if possible, especially 
it the large trees are producing the shade, as their roots spread so fast and exhaust the nourishment in the soil. In the 
event of not being able to supply new soil, the ground should be well dug over and if tree roots predominate, these should 
be taken out. 
In most places where grass seed is to be sown, when shaded by buildings, the soil will have a tendency to sour, and 
m such cases we strongly recommend the use of slaked lime (about 50 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft.). 
This special mixture for shady locations is selected from the best grasses possible to obtain for this purpose, and only 
those that will grow and flourish under shady conditions are used. 
The ordinary lawn grass might grow for a short time, hut as a general rule they will not last but one or two seasons 
and then make a poor showing. 
Shady Spot Lawn Seed if sown in these places will undoubtedly grow and produce the best satisfaction.

l\o have given much attention to the grasses used in Putting Greens, Golf Links, etc., as there is no purpose for 
" Inch turf is grown that is so exacting. No other grass is required to stand so much rough usage, and it is therefore very 
necessary that the proper varieties lie used to produce a thick and lasting sod. Foreign grasses are largely used in our 
mixtures, selecting those that thrive well here, with the addition of some American varieties that are equally fine and that 
na\ e proved satisfactory in our experiments as well as in practical results obtained on the various golf courses. lly using 
these mixtures, which are prepared specially for each use and with proper care, the finest Putting Greens and Fair Greens 
can be had.
