Under Trees or in Shaded Places. 
Me are frequently asked for a prescription of Grass Seeds that will produce herbage likely to thrive in situations generally denuded of growth, such as 
under Trees or on Lawns that are in a confined place, and upon which the sun and air cannot exert their influences. It would be presumption on our part to 
lead our customers to believe that we can cover such spots with a close velvety turf such as exists in the more exposed portion of their Lawn. At the same 
time, there is no getting away from the fact that certain grasses will thrive in shaded situations, as witness the close under-growth in old copses, along green 
drives, and under established plantations, where is frequently to be found quite a verdant carpet; and it is these self-same species of grasses that we use in our 
prescriptions. The soil under over-shadowing trees is generally of the poorest description, the roots having taken all the nourishment out of it. Consequently, 
before sowing, it is necessary to loosen the surface and rake it smooth, sprinkle manure, then roll. Next scratch the surface lightly with a rake, sow ihe seed 
thickly, rake again in an opposite direction, then well roll down the whole. If dry weather prevails, a good soaking of water is essential, and more if the hot 
weather continues. Constant dripping from the branches is very detrimental to grass under the trees as it rots their fibrous roots, and the growth wilts away.

Golf Links. 
We have on our permanent staff a certificated botanist and expert in grasses who has already visited many of the leading golf links in the country 
He is always able to give useful hints to those in charge of the greens, &c., as to the grasses that are likely to wear and thrive successfully, and the 
manures that will give the most beneficial results upon the soil of the locality. We charge his out-of-pocket expenses only, when sent to advise. 
Caiters Special Prescription of close-growing grasses for putting greens contains the finest-leaved grasses only, mixed in proportions to suit the particu¬ 
lar soil upon which seeds are intended to be sown. It is an advantage in the preparation of the prescription if we can have a turf from the green for analysis 
1 his enables us to send the same species that are natural to the locality. The putting green can then be renovated with grasses of the same texture and colour 
as already exist. It is very important that we should see either the green or a turf.
