Terrace Mixture 
It is composed of fine leaved grasses which have strong tenacious 
spreading root systems that will hold on slopes and terraces without 
washing out. It also does well on shallow soil, producing a fine velvety 
turf that remains green throughout the season. 
In preparing the ground on terraces and slopes it is especially important 
to mix a liberal amount of humus and fertilizer with the soil before sowing 
the seed. Sow 1 lb. to 200 to .‘500 square feet. 
1 Lb. 65c; 2 Lbs. $ 1.20; 5 Lbs. $2.90; 10 Lbs. $5.50; transportation paid. 
Grass Seed for Shady Lawns 
Best for Seeding Under Trees 
Many lawn grasses do not thrive in shady places. We have put into 
this mixture those kinds which will grow and make a good sod under trees 
and in the shade of buildings where most lawn grass would not do well. 
This seed should be sown in the early spring or fall. Stir the ground 
thoroughly and rake smooth. Sow the seed at the rate of 1 lb. to 250 to 
300 square feet for new seeding or one half that amount to renew old 
lawns. 
A dressing of 2 to 4 lbs. of a good fertilizer to 100 sq. ft. raked in before 
seeding will be very beneficial.

MYSTYFIER 
"BETTER THAN RAIN" 
The most practical lawn and garden 
sprinkler we have ever seen. It throws a 
fine misty rain-like spray that will not 
damage the most delicate blooms, or wash 
out the finest seed, yet it will put on an 
enormous amount of water—the kind of 
rain that will soak the ground without 
washing. 
It is rust proof, has no mov¬ 
ing parts to wear, no pinpoint 
nozzles to clog. Works de¬ 
pendably under all pressures. 
Detachable anchor keeps it 
firmly in place. 
Price $1.00 each transpor¬ 
tation paid. 
Shady Spots require Special Seed 
Lawn Grass for Annual Seeding 
There are often places under large deciduous trees and shrubs which the 
sun cannot reach at any time during the day when the leaves are out. 
Under these conditions, no grass of any kind will continue to thrive for 
any length of time. The best thing for such places is to sow some quick 
growing grasses, either in the autumn when the leaves fall, or in the early 
spring before the leaves come out. The grass will then cover the ground 
and remain green until late in the summer. Ground that is heavily shad¬ 
ed nearly all the time has to be reseeded each year. We can furnish a 
mixture of grasses which are the most suitable for this purpose. Sow 
about 1 lb. to 300 sq. ft. (This mixture contains timothy).

CHEWINGS NEW ZEALAND FESCUE. For places that get hard 
wear. Forms a fine-leaved matlike sod which is resistant to hard 
wear. It does well on most all kinds of soil and in shady spots. Used ex¬ 
tensively in putting green mixtures. We offer finest New Zealand 
seed. Also valuable as a pasture grass.

KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. The “Backbone” of Fine Lawn 
Grass Mixtures. Kentucky Blue Grass is the ideal lawn grass. It 
does well on high dry land and also in moist places. It is very ag¬ 
gressive and spreads rapidly by means of under-ground stems and 
makes a sod of fine texture when cut at lawn length. It starts to grow 
early in the spring and maintains its green color until late in the 
fall. It is an ideal companion grass growing well with other lawn 
varieties. We offer the finest quality seed. 
Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 75c; 5 Lbs. $1.60; transportation paid. Not paid: 
10 Lbs. $2.60; 25 Lbs. or more at 22c per lb. 
ROUGH STALKED MEADOW GRASS. For Shady Spots. This 
is one of the few grasses that does well in shady spots. It is also 
resistant to drought and forms a close compact sod, which greatly 
resembles Kentucky Blue Grass. This grass should be in all lawn 
grass mixtures for shady places. This grass is often included in pasture 
mixtures also. 
1 Lb. 65c; 2 Lbs. $1.20; 5 Lbs. $2.75; transportation paid. 
RHODE ISLAND BENT. Also known as Colonial Bent and Prince 
Edward Island Bent. A very excellent grass where a fine close cut 
lawn is desired and is probably the most common of the bent grasses. 
Used to a large extent in fine lawn and greens mixtures. 11 will form 
an excellent sod and stand quite close mowing. It does well on poor 
and acid soil and being of a semi-creeping habit will recover the 
ground after injury. Sow r 1 lb. to 300 sq. ft. 
1 Lb. $1.35; 2 Lbs. $2.55; 5 Lbs. $6.00; 10 Lbs. $11.50; transportation

SEASIDE CREEPING BENT. Best for Putting Greens. This is the 
true creeping type and forms a very dense sod of beautiful dark green 
color, with narrow leaves. Will stand very close cutting and resist 
hard wear. We offer the true Seaside Creeping Bent. Sow one pound to 
300 sq. ft. 
1 Lb. $1.35; 2 Lbs. $2.55; 5 Lbs. $6.00; 10 Lbs. $11.50; transportation

FANCY RED TOP. Fine for Lawns. A remarkably rapid growing 
and aggressive lawn grass. It does well on a large variety of soils and 
will withstand both drought conditions and wet ground and thrives 
under moderate close cutting. This is an excellent kind of mix with 
Kentucky Blue Grass.

PERENNIAL RYE GRASS. (English.) For Quick Covering. Will 
make a quick covering of bright green grass on new lawns and is val¬ 
uable for this reason. It makes a good growth in a few weeks but 
will not make a permanent sod. For new seeding a mixture of 10% 
Rye Grass may be safely used.

10 Lbs. $2.20; 25 Lbs. or more at 18c per lb. 
WHITE CLOVER FOR LAWNS 
KENT WILD WHITE CLOVER. Best Clover for Lawns. 
When kept cut at lawn length, this clover shows scarcely any blossoms. 
This is the clover which is found in the wonderful English lawns, and 
we recommend it highly. The plant is creeping in habit, low growing 
and tenacious. It is inconspicuous and blends readily with the compan¬ 
ion grasses forming a thick velvety sward which remains green all sum¬ 
mer. Wild white clover actually adds nitrogen to the soil and improves 
the growth of companion grasses. The leaves are smaller than White 
Dutch Clover and it blossoms much less. A very light seeding in I lie 
spring (1 lb. to 7500 sq. ft.) will get Wild White Clover started. 
Lb. 75c; Lb. $2.35; 2 Lbs. $4.50; 5 Lbs. or more at $2.10 per Lb.; 
transportation paid. 
White Dutch Clover. Very valuable for use on lawns. The roots extend 
deep into the ground and consequently stands drought well. 
1 Lb. 75c; 2 Lbs. $1.45; 5 Lbs. or more at 70c per Lb.; transportation 
paid. 
Char-grO 
New Lawn and Garden Fertilizer. Combines plant food with charcoal 
in pellet form. Clean to handle and produces remarkable results. 
Char-top 
Superior new product for top dressing lawns and gardens. Combines 
PEAT MOSS with Char-gro.
