CURRIE'S LAWN GRASS SEED PRODUCES A RICH, THICK, VELVETY LAWN, LIKE THAT SHOWN ON THE BACK COVER OF THIS CATALOGUE IN SIX WEEKS. A Beautiful Lawn and How to Make It It is universally conceded that nothing contributes so much to the beauty and attractiveness of the Home Grounds, the Park and the Cemetery, as a smooth, uniformly rich-green, well-kept lawn, which, to be perfect and a pleasure to walk on, should have a firm yet elastic and carpet-like surface. To secure this should, therefore, be the first consideration in laying out or renovating old grounds. Turfing with fine old pasture sod, at one time a popular method of making a lawn, is now almost entirely superseded by seeding, because of the expense and difficulty in obtaining good, clean turf. On the other hand seeding is not only inex- pensive but is in reality the only means of securing a fine and permanent lawn, depending only for its complete success on the thoroughness with which the ground is prepared, the quality and quantity of the Seed sown, and the subsequent care of the lawn. Our extensive experience in the seeding of lawns and ex- haustive experiments with all kinds of lawn grasses have demonstrated beyond a doubt that while many kinds are valueless, being too coarse or bunchy or otherwise unsuitable, one kind of grass alone can not be relied upon, in our climate, to produce and maintain a fine lawn. It is only by using a proper combination of several suitable varieties, sown liber- ally, that satisfactory results can be obtained.
