ADAPTED GRASSES FOR SOUTHERN LAWNS 
A pretty Lawn is the first requisite in beautifying the home. Bare ground about the home is comparable to a floor without a rug. 
The Lawn is a permanent improvement and should be planted with only the best quality seeds. 
NICHOLSON'S Lawn Grass Seeds are heavy in weight, thoroughly recleaned to remove foreign matter and if properly planted 
should give maximum results. 
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 
able to offer you this wonderful grass in the 
hulled seed. This operation hastens germina- 
tion, as the hulled seed will germinate in seven 
to ten days from time of planting and has 
proved to be a boon to new home builders who 
wish to establish a new lawn in a minimum of 
time. Using seed is so much less expensive 
than sod. 
This 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 Fancy Hulled Bermuda 
Grass Seed. Lb., $1.10; 2 lIbs., $2.10, postpaid. 
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 to sow 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 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., 75c; 2 lbs., $1.40, postpaid. 
Ask for prices in larger quantities. 
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. 
Price: Lb., 75c; 2 lbs., $1.45, postpaid. Please 
ask for prices in 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., 90c; 2 lbs., $1.75, post- 
paid. Please ask for prices in larger lots. 
POA TRIVIALIS (Bird Grass). An excellent 
grass to sow under heavy trees or in spots too 
shady for other grasses to thrive. One pound 
will sow 10x20 feet. Lb., $1.25; 2 lbs., $2.40, 
postpaid. 
CARPET GRASS (Axonopus Compressus). Car- 
pet Grass is very satisfactory for planting in 
shaded spots, under trees, etc., where Bermuda 
will not grow. It is used extensively in South 
Texas and other Gulf Coast sections for general 
lawn purposes. It is a perennial creeping 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. 
Price: Lb., 75c; 2 lbs., $1.40, postpaid. Please

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

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, keep- 
ing them well watered during the summer. One 
pound will sow 10x20 feet, the equivalent of 200
