nation, as the hulled seed will germinate in

NICHOLSON’S EXTRA FANCY BERMUDA 
GRASS SEED (Cynodon Dactylon). Will grow 
on almost any soil, and is the finest grass to 
sow in the South for summer lawns. In order 
to have the best success in the growing of Ber¬ 
muda Grass the seed should be planted in the 
spring or late summer, when the weather is 
warm or moist. If sown before a wet spell the 
seed will come up in a very short time after 
rain. Have the ground well prepared, then sow 
the seed broadcast. After the sowing run a 
roller over the land so as to firm the surface, 
as Bermuda Grass requires a firm seed bed. 
For lawns sow 5 to 10 pounds to every 1,000 
square feet, 20x50, mixed with dry sand before 
sowing. Price: Lb., 60c; 2 lbs., $1.00, post¬ 
paid. Ask for prices on larger quantities. 
NICHOLSON’S MIXED SHADY LAWN 
GRASS. Especially prepared for shady places 
where Bermuda will not grow, such as spots 
under trees, etc. B'efore sowing cut out as 
many of the surface roots of the trees as pos¬ 
sible, as these sap the life of the soil. Loosen 
the top of the soil, then give a top dressing of 
Nicholson’s Pulverized and Sterilized Sheep 
Manure. Sow the grass seeds and rake them 
in lightly, keeping them well watered during 
the summer. One pound will sow 10x20 feet, 
the equivalent of 200 square feet of space.

prepaid, 10 lbs., $5.00. Please write for prices

South Texas and other Gulf Coast sections for 
general lawn purposes. It is a perennial creep¬ 
ing grass that forms a close compact turf, has 
a broad leaf and rather heavy stem and grows
