Spike Tamp, or Sod Renovator 
With this tool one can do on small lawns what the 
spiked roller does on golf 
greens—perforate the sod 
and pulverize hard soil 
for repair work. The 
small spikes make only 
small holes into which 
fertilizer and seed can 
drop. Reversed, the 
tool provides a handy 
tamper for firming the 
soil and,placing it into 
close contact with the 
grass seed that germina¬ 
tion may be doubly 
sure. Indispensable to 
everyone desiring a fine 
lawn, as well as land¬ 
scape men, jobbing 
gardeners and others.

Perry’s Bent Grass Mixture 
For Those Who Appreciate Quality 
A beautiful green lawn is the ambition of most 
home owners. Bent grasses make beautiful lawns 
in New England when given the necessary attention. 
More and more attention is being focused on Bent 
grasses because of the interest in golf clubs where 
so much Bent seed is used. To satisfy this demand 
we offer this mixture blended from a formula em¬ 
ploying these fine bladed Bent grasses and calculated 
to produce through creeping root stocks on rich soil 
a closely matted turf of soft luxuriance. 
Prepare your soil with unusual care and fertilize 
with Vert at the rate of 25 lbs. per 1000 square feet. 
Do not attempt to reduce the cost of starting a lawn 
by economizing on seed. As a rule, lawns are not 
large and the difference in cost between light and 
heavy seeding is not great. Sow seed at the rate of 
1 lb. to each 250 square feet to secure a thick stand 
at the beginning and to assist in holding weeds in 
check. 
Several times during the season broadcast % oz. of 
sulphate of ammonia mixed with six times its bulk 
of finely sifted soil to each square vard of surface. 
Lb. $1.25, 5 lbs. $6.10, 10 lbs. $12.00, 20 lbs. $23.60, 
50 lbs. $58.00, 100 lbs. $115.00.

firm, permanent turf that will withstand severe 
usage and improve with age if properly cared for. 
Use 100 to 150 lbs. per acre, according to soil condi¬ 
tions.

Putting Green Mixture 
For Ideal and Lasting Greens 
There is a growing demand for a lawn grass mix¬ 
ture that will produce at home a turf as fine as on 
putting greens of golf clubs. For various reasons it 
is usually safer to sow a mixture of grasses than to 
depend upon one grass. To meet these needs we 
have prepared a formula from those superior grasses 
employed on golf courses—of known high purity 
and germination that the utmost of satisfaction may 
be secured. 
We recommend it highly and suggest when sowing 
to prepare the soil and fertilize it in the usual way. 
In order to secure even distribution, divide the seed 
and broadcast one-half each way of the lawn, allow¬ 
ing 1 lb. to every 150 to 250 square feet. 
Lb. 90c., 5 lbs. $4.40, 10 lbs. $8.50, 20 lbs. $16.50, 
50 lbs. $41.00, 100 lbs. $80.00. 
Perry’s Seashore Mixture 
Many a Lawn along the New England Shore has 
been grown from this mixture 
A rich, green lawn is especially appreciated and 
desirable at the seashore, but usually conditions 
are decidedly unfavorable. Sandy soils are bene¬ 
fited by the addition of clayey soil, peat moss and 
other organic matter resulting from the use of 
Wizard Brand Cattle and Sheep Manures. Top soil 
to the depth of four inches should be broadcasted, 
as grass will not grow well in pure sand. The 
grasses used in our Seashore Mixture are adapted 
to unfavorable conditions, will quickly germinate 
in the top soil and make strong roots which will 
reach down into the sand for moisture. In order, 
however, to keep the seaside lawn in good condition 
it should be watered liberally each evening and 
also receive an occasional application of our steril¬ 
ized Sheep Manure to maintain a supply of quickly 
available plant food. Sow 1 lb. to every 250 sq. ft. 
Lb. 65c., 5 lbs. $3.00, 10 lbs. $5.50, 25 lbs. $12.50. 
White Dutch Clover for Lawns 
This is the popular low, creeping Clover that 
almost everyone wants in his lawn seed mixture 
because its little pink blossoms look so pretty. 
Grows quickly and will cover many a bare spot with 
bright green and dense foliage should other grasses 
fail. Thrives almost anywhere, but at its best in 
w 7 et seasons and on heavy, moist soils. Especially 
adapted to pastures and should be in every pasture 
mixture. The seed is fine, and 8 to 10 lbs. will sow 
an acre. We offer an especially high grade lot of seed. 
14 lb. 20c., y z lb. 35c., lb. 60c., 5 lbs. $2.75, 
15 lbs. $7.50
