THE "FORBES" LAWN GRASS SEED 
ALEXANDER FORBES & CO. 
Seedsmen, Newark, N. J. 
This is a rapid-growing combination of grasses and produces in from four to six weeks, 
a permanent lawn capable of withstanding heavy wear. It contains seeds of six dwarf 
evergreen and perennial grasses of fine lawn texture. Definite proportions of these are 
mixed very thoroughly. The resultant lawn has a fine, even, rich green appearance and a 
permanency not usually found. This mixture is known the country over for its high quality. 
It is higher priced than ordinary store mixtures but is cheapest in the long run. It contains 
only heavy, reeleaned, live seeds, free from worthless chaff, timothy and weed seeds. 
It is backed by our national reputation for fair dealing and finest quality. We do not use 
any White Clover seed in this lawn mixture.

SUPER-BENT LAWN GRASS SEED. Th is mixture contains Bent 
Grass varieties only and will, on rich soils, with careful seeding, roll¬

rolling, feeding, and watering it requires. At least four times through 
season apply 1 pound of sulphate of ammonia to each 
(10 by 1 5 feet), first mixing it thoroughly with several 
of screened soil. Top-dress the dawn each spring and

The graceful, stately form and truly wonderful colorings of the Darwin Tulips are matchless. They 
are extremely eflective when planted against foliage backgrounds or in groups of solid colors in the per¬ 
ennial flower borders. Their hues provide endless contrasts and color harmonies; their varied forms add 
a charm not tound in other flowers. Darwins will glorify your garden next May. Plant them liberally
