Fordliook Finest Lawn Grass 
T HE illustration shows a view of the 
beautiful lawns on Burpee’s Fordliook 
Farms which were established from 
the same mixture that we are now offering. 
We pride ourselves on Fordhook Finest 
Lawn Grass Mixture which from yearly 
comparative trials at Fordhook Farms we 
know is unsurpassed for first-class and 
permanent results. This is due to the fact 
that we use only the very lines! varieties 
of the most suitable grasses. 
Fordliook Finest contains a well-balan¬ 
ced blend of various American and foreign 
fine-bladed and deep-rooting varieties 
which have been proved by us to produce 
the best results under the varied con¬ 
ditions of soil and climate met with in 
America. 
Burpee's Fordhook Finest Lawn Grass 
Mixture will give a smooth velvety green 
sod with a thick bottom and free from 
common grasses which produce unattract¬ 
ive clumps in the lawn and spoil the desired 
smooth, rich, even effect. Burpee’s Ford¬ 
hook Finest Lawn Grass is composed en¬ 
tirely of the best recleaned seed. It is free 
of all chaff and weighs 25 to 27 pounds per 
measured bushel. A small quantity of 
White Dutch Clover is included in Ford¬ 
hook Finest Lawn Grass, but only suffi- 
cient to help thicken the bottom of t he sod. 
One pound of seed is sufficient to sow a 
plot 20x20 (or 400 square feet); eighty 
to one hundred pounds for one acre. 
The Burpee leaflet “How to Establish a 
Lawn’’ will be sent free upon request. 
Lb. 60c; 3 lbs. $1.65; 5 lbs. $2.65, postpaid. 
By express, 10 lbs. $4.20; 100 lbs. $38.00.

both opening and closing—they turn hitherto wasted motion 
into productive progress along your hedges.

action 31 fluted, keen-edged teeth that clip a clean path 16 inches wide, 
through any hedge. Price, $7.50. West of Mississippi, $8.00. 
The Simplicity Hedge Trimmer is intended for use on new growth 
only. Greatest tool for trimming Privet, Barberry, etc. Cutting width, 
12 inches. Price $5.00. West of Mississippi, $5.50.
