ADAPTED GRASSES FOR YOUR HOME LAWN

a rug. The lawn is a permanent improvement and should be planted with only the best quality seeds. 
NICHOLSON'S Lawn Gress Seeds are heavy in weight, thoroughly recleaned to remove foreign matter and if properly 
planted should give maximum results.

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

ers who wish to establish a new lawn in a

expensive than sod.
