largest, if not the oldest, and certainly the best known firm of actual seed producers in the world today. 
Throughout the hundred years in which their business has been steadily expanding, they have spared no 
effort or expense to keep their products ahead of all others in pedigree, yield, purity and germination. 
Their seed farms, botanical laboratories, trial grounds, electric cleaning machinery and unique methods 
mark the highest step yet attained in scientific seed production. 
RESULTS. The Carter System has produced the finest golfing turf in the world. No finer quality of 
turf can be found in America than on the Country Club of Detroit and Mayfield Country Club courses, 
taking them as a whole, fair greens and putting greens, and considering that they are “ inland ” courses. 
We print a short list of some of the most prominent golf courses sown with Carters Tested Grass Seeds 
on pages 9 and 11. 
MARKET SITUATION. The grass seed situation is serious in some ways owing to the European 
War and the shortages in some of the best varieties. There are no good stocks obtainable of South 
German Creeping Bent or any of the European Fescues, such as Hard Fescue, Sheep Fescue and Fine 
Leaved Sheep Fescue. The exportation of seed from Germany has been prohibited since 1914, and if 
any of the above varieties are offered for sale they are American or New Zealand grown substitutes, or 
very old seed of poor germinating qualities. 
We advise all our customers to place their orders early.
