Short Hills Lawn Grass. How to Make New or Improve Old Garden Lawns, Lawn Tennis and Croquet Grounds and Bowling Greens. t LAWN GRASS SEED. When making a new lawn or renovating- an old one by sowing seed, the most important features to be considered are the texture of thf soil, and location and surrounding influences. These should be studied before buying or sowing the seed, as grass varies, and its adaptability to different circumstances is as diverse as that of any other class of vegetation. This explains to a certain extent, we believe, the secret of so many failures in obtaining successful results from seed in making lawns, and convinces us of the uselessness of offering any one mixture as being suitable for all localities. To obviate this, we have concluded to offer three grades or mixtures, which cover the varied requirements. It is necessary to sow the seed very thickly to get the most pleasing result, sowing not less than four bushels to the acre, or one quart to a piece of ground 20x25 feet. In early spring or fall dig the ground well, rake and level it; and after the seed is sown, which should be done on a calm dry day, rake the seed in and roll well; or, in the absence of a roller, pack the ground down well with the back of a spade or shovel. Our seed weighs about 20 pounds to the bushel. No. x. Suitable for exposed, dry, sandy soil, and most suitable for the southern states. No. 2. Suitable for medium, shady or average soil. PJo. 3. Suitable for wet or shady and clayey soil. Prices for Lawn Grass Seed. • Each of the 3 mixtures, per pt., 20 cts.; perqt.,30 cts.; per two qts., 50 cts.; per peck, $ (Per bushel $ by express or freight, at customer's expense.)
