NICHOLSON'S EXTRA QUALITY LAWN SEEDS 
Bare ground about the home is comparable to a floor without a rug. A lawn is essential and the first requisite in 
beautifying the home. The lawn is a permanent improvement and should be planted with the best quality seeds. 
NICHOLSON’S Lawn Grass Seeds are heavy in weight, thoroughly recleaned to remove foreign matter and properly 
planted should give maximum results. 
FOR a fertilizer formulated especially for lawn purposes, use NICHOLSON’S EVERGREEN LAWN DRESSING.

Nicholson's Extra Fancy Hulled 
Bermuda Grass 
QUICK GERMINATING 
Bermuda Grass is without a doubt the one 
best grass for lawns in the South. We are 
now able to offer you this wonderful grass in 
the hulled seed. This operation hastens germi¬ 
nation, as the hulled seed will germinate in 
seven to ten days from time of planting and 
will prove to be a boon to new home builders 
who wish to establish a new lawn in a min¬ 
imum of time. Using seed is so much less ex¬ 
pensive than sod. 
This seed should be use at the rate of five 
pounds or more to each 1,000 square feet. 
March, April and May are the best months for 
sowing. 
Liven up your old lawn or establish a new 
one with Nicholson’s Extra Fancy Hulled Ber¬ 
muda Grass Seed. Price: Lb., 75c; 2 lbs., $1.40, 
postpaid. Please ask for prices in larger quan¬ 
tities. 
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. Before 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. 
Price: Lb., 75c; 2 lbs., $1.40, postpaid. Not 
prepaid, 10 lbs., $5.50. Please write for prices 
in larger lots. 
NICHOLSON’S SPECIAL MIXED WINTER 
LAWN GRASS. This is a mixture of grasses 
that have proven the best sorts for winter 
lawns in the South. You can sow the seed on 
your Bermuda lawn or it can be just as suc¬ 
cessfully grown where there is no established 
lawn. Price: Lb., 65c; 2 lbs., $1.25, postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 10 lbs., $4.50. Ask for prices on 
larger quantities. 
KENTUCKY BLUE (Poa Pratensis). This 
grass is used for winter lawn and shady spots

seed. Price: Lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 65c, postpaid. 
Please ask for prices on larger quantities. 
CHEWING’S FESCUE (Festuca Rubra). This 
grass thrives on sandy or gravelly soil and 
must be shaded or watered consistently through 
the warm months. One pound will sow 200 
square feet. Price: Lb., $1.00; 2 lbs., $1.90, 
postpaid. Please ask for prices in larger lots.

lent grass to sow under heavy trees or in spots 
too shady for other grasses to thrive. One 
pound will sow 10x20 feet. Price: Lb., 75c; 2 
lbs., $1.40, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs.,

CARPET GRASS (Axonopus Compressus). 
Carpet Grass is very satisfactory for planting 
in shaded spots, under trees, etc., where Ber¬ 
muda will not grow. It is used extensively in 
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 
well on land short in lime. This grass is 
worthy of a trial in shaded spots where you 
have not been successful in growing other 
grasses as it seems to require less plant food 
than other grasses. The supply of seed for 
spring planting is about exhausted and the 
price is higher than usual. Price: Lb., 50c; 2 
lbs., 90c, postpaid. Please write for prices in 
larger lots. 
RED TOP (Agrostis Alba). A dandy grass 
for winter lawns, it is slow in starting, but 
makes a beautiful lawn after becoming estab¬ 
lished. Can be planted on your Bermuda lawn 
late in the fall. One pound will sow 10x20 
feet or 200 square feet. Price: Lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 
75c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs., $2.35. 
Please ask for prices in larger quantities. 
RYE GRASS (Lolium Italicum). American- 
grown Rye Grass is used extensively for win¬ 
ter lawns. We sell large quantities of this seed 
to golf courses, cemeteries, etc. In fact, we 
handle the seed in carload lots. Price: Lb., 
25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs., 
$1.25. Please ask for prices in larger lots.

pens). Used in planting in shaded spots, also 
for winter lawns, with mixed grasses. Price: 
Lb., 85c; 2 lbs., $1.50, postpaid. Ask for prices 
in larger quantities.
