P. BURR & CO.'s MATTABESSETT LAWN To make a nice lawn, the ground must first be made as fine as possible, some good fertilizer applied, then thor- oughly rolled, and a selection of fine grass seed sown of varieties that will make a close mat of turf and remain green froai early Spring till Winter. Frequently cutting with a lawn mower, with an occasional rolling down and an application of fertilizer, will insure a beautiful lawn, if our Mattabessett Lawn Seed is used as directed. Always rake off after mowing. Our Matta- bessett Seed is from grasses that a careful experience of fifteen years has shown to be the best adapted to this locality. It contains no coarse, rank-growing grasses. A fine lawn cannot be made from hay seed. For a lawn, never use any Timothy, orchard grass, oat grass, red clover, meadow fescue, or other large grasses. Do not have the soil too rich, or the grass will grow rank and coarse, and besides need very frequent cutting. Many of the nicest lawns about the fine places in "beautiful old Middletown " were established from the Mattabessett Lawn Seed. One quart will sow about 300 square feet. For renovating old lawns use half the quantity. Quart. Peck. Bushel.
