SHADY NOOK” 
| AWN QRASS S EED. 
On nearly all lawns there are un¬ 
sightly hare spots under the shade of 
trees, which have baffled all efforts to 
get into grass, but with this mixture 
there need be no further difficulty. It 
is a combination of fine, dwarf-growing, 
evergreen varieties, which in their wild 
or natural state are to be found growing 
in the woods or other sheltered and 
shaded spots. Ground that has been 
densely shaded by trees is frequently 
“sour,” and if the drainage is defective 
it is apt to be covered with moss and 
coarse bog grasses. In such cases an 
application of slaked lime, at the rate of 
one bushel to each thousand square feet, 
or forty bushels to the acre, is an excellent 
corrective and sweetener, but the moss 
should be first removed by the use of a sharp 
rake.

"Last year you furnished a bushel of *Shady Nook’ 
Grass Seed which did unusually well in our yard , where we 
have many oaks and sugar maples.” 
Mrs. WM. J. ROBERTSON , Charlottesville, Va. 
Lawn Grass Seed. 
Along our seacoast there are many beautiful summer homes 
and resorts with such sandy saline surroundings that a turf of the 
favorite lawn grasses cannot be produced. We have so often made 
up a mixture of special grasses to thrive under these trying condi¬ 
tions that we have concluded to offer it for the benefit of others 
who may be having the same “trouble in getting grass to grow.” 
We do not claim that our “Sea Side” lawn grass will make a lawn 
equalling in fine velvety texture those produced with the “ Henderson 
Lawn Grass Seed,” but our "Sea Side ” mixture will make a good 
turf of green on sand where the finer grasses are not so likely to thrive, 
though, of course, the sand must be top-dressed with not less than 
2 inches of soil before even our “Sea Side” grass seed is sown, to 
enable the young grass to get a start, after which the long roots — 
peculiar to the varieties we use in this mixture — drive down deeply 
in the sand and remain permanently self-sustaining—if attention is 
given to sprinkling during dry weather. 
The lawns surrounding the Manhattan Beach and Oriental 
Hotels, Long Island, illustrated herewith, were made years ago 
under the exact conditions we describe above with our special 
“Sea Side” Lawn Grass mixture, and they still remain in beautiful 
condition, excepting in places where the salt spray dashes. Use at 
the rate of 1 quart for 300 square feet; 5 bushels per acre.

A special mixture of grasses best suited for sowing on terraces 
railroad embankments and side hills—grasses that produce- 
strong, spreading roots, thus preventing heavy rains from 
washing them out; that will withstand drought and exposure 
thrive on shallow soils, and at the same time produce a rich* 
velvety green turf throughout the season. There need be n<> 
iear of introducing coarse grasses into your lawn by sowing 
this mixture, for though strong-rooted, the grasses are equally 
as fine as those used in the “Henderson” mixture.

grass seeds on the lawns and banks here with most excellent effect ”
