2 Fall Edition of Vaughan’s Gardening Illustrated, Chicago and New York 







UTUMN is the most favorable time to sow lawn seed, the earlier 
the better. In the short days and cool nights the seedling plants 
make vigorous growth. Give them all the time possible to become 
established before freezing weather arrives. 
In the fall it is more important than ever to sow only permanent 
grasses, free from short-lived, coarse growing types. For a lawn of per- 
manence and beauty, our famous Chicago Parks mixture is recom- 
mended, containing only fancy, recleaned seed of fine leaved, hardy, 
lasting grasses of high purity and germination. It contains no timothy, 
or other coarse adulterants. Remember, cheap mixtures invariably dis- 
appoint and increase rather than reduce expense. 
We offer Chicago Parks mixture without Clover as ‘‘Fairway 
Mixture’ at Chicago Parks prices. 
Vaughan’s ‘‘Private Estate’’ Bent Formula 
For those interested in a deluxe mixture we highly recommend our 
Private Estate formula. This formula contains over 98% pure seed and 
is free of all noxious weeds. 
In addition to Kentucky Blue Grass of the highest quality, to insure 
a durable and resistant foundation for your lawn, Private Estate formula 
includes an important proportion of bent. It produces a heavy turf of 
very fine texture. This mixture is equal or better in purity to the 
highest priced mixtures and most important, it contains more bent seed. 
It is the best value on the market.
