BEAUTIFY YOUR HOME WITH AN 
ATTRACTIVE LAWN - THROUGH THE YEAR 
It does not require a great lot of work to have a beautiful lawn throughout the winter months. Many of the grasses listed on this page are 
especially adapted to winter growing. We advise all who contemplate making a new lawn, or renewing the old, to do this work this Fall, so 
that the grasses will become well established before freezing weather, and start a luxuriant growth with the warmth of Spring. Conditions 
are usually ideal for quick germination of grass seed at this season of the year. WE SHIP EXTRA HEAVY SEED FOR LAWN PURPOSES. 
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 germina- 
lion, 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 mini- 
mum of time. Using seed is so much less ex: 
pensive than sod. 
The seed should be used 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. Lb., $1.15; 2 lbs., $2.20, post- 
paid. Please ask for prices in larger lots. 
NICHOLSON’S EXTRA FANCY BERMUDA 
GRASS SEED (Cynodon Dactylon). Will grow 
on almost any soil, and is the finest grass in 
the South for summer lawns. In order to have 
the best success in the growing of Bermuda 
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 Ber- 
muda Grass requires a firm seed bed. For 
lawns sow 5 to 10 pounds to every 1,000 
square feet, 20x50, mixed with dry sand be- 
fore sowing. Lb., 90c; 2 lbs., $1.70, postpaid. 
Please ask 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 established. 
Can be planted on your Bermuda lawn late in 
the fall. One pound will sow 10x20 feet or 200 
square feet. Lb., 45c; 2 lbs., 80c, postpaid. 
Please ask for prices in larger quantities. 
RYE GRASS (Lolium Italicum). American- 
grown Rye Grass is used extensively for winter 
lawns. We sell large quantities of this seed to 
golf courses, cemeteries, etc. In fact, we han- 
dle the seed in carload lots. Lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 
60c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs., $1.60. Please 
ask for prices on larger lots. 
KENTUCKY BLUE (Poa Pratensis). This grass 
is used for winter lawn and shady spots in the 
South. We do not recommend it except for cer- 
tain sections where it has been proven. One 
pound will sow 10x20 feet. Extra heavy seed. 
Lb., $1.25; 2 lbs., $2.40, postpaid. Please ask for

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 ihat forms a close compact turf, has 
a broad leaf and a 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. Lb., 55c; 2 lbs., $1.00, post- 
paid. Please ask for prices in larger lots. 
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER (Trifolium Repens). 
Used in planting in shaded spots, also for win- 
ter lawns, with mixed grasses. Lb., $1.35; 2 
lbs., $2.60, postpaid. Ask for prices in 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 possible, as 
these sap the life of the soil. Loosen the top 
of the soil, then give a top dressing of Nichol- 
son'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. Lb., 75c; 2 Ibs., 
$1.40, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs., $5.50. 
Please write for prices in laraer lots.

square (100 to 120 square feet) otherwise the plants will produce a heavy stem and your results will not prove satisfactory. When planted 
as suggested, you will be more than please

home—giving a glow of warmth through the cold months.
