BEFORE SOWING SEED: If a small quantity of Semesan 
is shaken up in the container with the seed, better germination 
and more rapid growth will be assured 
FLORIDA HUMUS 
That we may serve golf clubs to better advantage and 
furnish golf mixtures that are best adapted to the soils 
and climate of New England, we have made careful study, 
growing tests, and comparisons of and with the mixtures 
used here and on golf courses abroad. 
These seeds are of the highest grade, carefully tested 
for purity and germination. We are prepared to furnish 
at short notice these mixtures or any other mixture of 
golf grasses which we have in stock, made up especially

BRECK’S SPECIAL SEASHORE 
LAWN GRASS MIXTURE 
The grasses going into this mixture have been 
carefully selected for their deep-rooting qualities, 
their resistance to salt-spray, and for their ability 
to withstand drought and the conditions in¬ 
variably found on poor and sandy soils. Before 
sowing this special formula, 5 pounds of Wood 
Ashes or Poultry Manure should be applied and 
raked into the surface soil to every 100 square 
feet. At least 1 pound of seed should be sown to 
every 300 square feet. 
Lb. 50c; 4 lbs. $1.75; 8 lbs. $3.25; bus. $12.00 
The liberal use of Florida Humus will help maintain a fine, 
even sward. An application of one-half inch as a top-dressing 
once a year is sufficient. It absorbs 5.81 times its own weight 
of water in five hours. It is a natural home for the soil- 
bacteria upon which lawn-making and garden-making depend 
so much. 
100-lb. crates $2.50; 200-lb. crates $4.50; per ton, 
in 200-lb. crates, $35.00
