MAKDA'S UNIVERSAL LAWN SEED MIXTURE 
This lawn grass mixture is composed entirely of the finest quality of fine-leaved dwarf¬ 
growing grasses, m such proportions as will enable it to withstand the extreme heat of our 
summers The grasses which compose this mixture are extra well cleaned, so that all weeds 
are excluded, leaving nothing but the pure, clean seed. 
We recommend four bushels to the acre. It is necessary to sow the seed very thickly 
to get the most pleasing result—that is, a good lawn. y 
The best time to sow grass seed is in the spring or about the latter part of August. We 
pr the s J^ ng ' suc c e ss of establishing a good lawn depends much on the season 
and the condition of the ground at the time of sowing. A light raking in will protect the 
seeds greatly. Rolling, however, is at all times indispensable, and should any weeds appear 
they should be eradicated.

PALM SEEDS. 
Having to plant thousands of them ourselves every season, we are compelled to make 
large importations of these seeds yearly. They come from all quarters of the tropical world, 
such as New Zealand, Australia, the East and West Indies, South America, and Africa. Orders 
are booked beforehand, and will be filled in succession as the goods arrive. The seed is un¬ 
excelled as regards purity and germination. 
EVERGREEN AND DECIDUOUS TREE AND SHRUB SEEDS. 
These are also imported from all parts of the world. Owing to the difficulty and great 
expense involved in securing these seeds, we will not offer quantities in less bulk than will 
cost 25 cents and upwards.
