GRASS AND CLOVER SEEDS. 
We beg to draw the special attention of our patrons to the Uni¬ 
versal Lawn Grass Seed Mixture, which is prepared to give the best 
results for fine lawns; also to the cheap Pasture Grass Mixture for 
meadows. We would also be happy to supply grass and clover seed 
separate, if desired. 
MANDA’S UNIVERSAL LAWN SEED MIXTURE. 
This lawn grass mixture is composed entirely of the finest quality 
of fine-leaved, dwarf-growing grasses, in 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. 
The best time to sow grass seed is in the spring or about the 
latter part of August. We prefer the spring. The success of estab¬ 
lishing 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. 
MANDA’S UNIVERSAL MIXTURE IS AS GOOD AS ANY AND 
BETTER THAN MANY. Qt pk Bush

PURE SHEEP MANURE. 
We are greatly pleased to say that we have secured a large quan¬ 
tity of the very best sheep manure, perfectly pure and unadulterated, 
free from all straw or litter of any kind, which is generally found in 
most of the other grades. 
We can safely say that it is the finest quality offered in the market. 
There is nothing can equal this manure for greenhouse purposes, such 
as top-dressing roses, carnations, chrysanthemums, or any other plants 
that are strong feeders. 
And there is nothing better for mixing through potting soil or for 
making liquid. 
It is also the finest manure for top-dressing lawns or for the man¬ 
uring of fields or gardens. 
In all respects it is par excellence. For top-dressing greenhouse 
plants use equal proportions of manure and good loam. For mixing 
through potting soil use one part manure to nine parts loam. For 
making good liquid use about 25 pounds to the barrel. For lawns, 
fields or gardens use about one pound to ten square feet, or two tons 
to the acre. 5-lb. bag. 25 cts.: 10-lb. bag, 40 cts.; 25-lb. bag, 75 cts.; 
100-lb. bag, $1.75; per ton, $32.00. Special price in carload lots.
