While it is true that the mixtures which we have recommended are seemingly much more expen¬ 
sive than what is commonly used, it should be borne in mind that a vastly increased value is given to the 
pasture not only for one year, but if the land is properly cared for it will remain in good condition for fifteen 
or twenty years without further sowing, and produce douo*e the amount of fodder, while the ordinary 
sowing has to be repeated every three or four years; thus, in the end, costing more than four times as 
much as what would be paid originally for the proper mixture. 
PERMANENT GRASS SEED FOR GOLF LINKS. 
In order that we might be the better able to serve our friends in making selection of grasses that 
will give best results on Golf Courses and Putting Greens under the many varied conditions of soil, etc., 
that exist, our representative visited Prestwick, Bogside, St. Andrews and other principal Golf Links in 
Scotland, and carefully ascertained particulars as to the kinds of grasses used for the different situations 
and purposes. The soil and effect of climate on these grasses, as compared with those prevailing in New 
England, have had due consideration, and we now offer, under the name of the Prestwick Qott 
Grasses 9 a series of mixtures, modified as experience warrants for our needs, that we are sure surpaM 
any hitherto offered in the United States. 
No. I. For Putting Greens, sow at the rate of 80 lbs. per acre. Per lb. 20 cts. 
No. 2. For Courses, light and dry soils, sow at the rate of 50 lbs. per acre. Per lb. 21 cts. 
No. 3. For Courses, low and damp soils, sow at the rate of 50 lbs. per acre. Pet lb. 19 cts.
