Page 6 CURRIE BROTHERS CO Currie's Lawn Grass Seed Produces a Rich^ Thick^ Velvety Lawn in SIX WEEKS A BEAUTIFUL LAWN AND HOW TO SECURE 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, uni' formly rich-green, well-kept lawn. But to be perfect and a pleasure to walk on this should have a firm yet elastic and carpet-like surface, and the first consideration in laying out or renovating old grounds should be to secure this condition. CURRIE'S LAWN GRASS MIXTURES are the result of years of study and careful observation, and, if our directions are followed in seeding, they never fail to pro- duce quickly a thrifty growth of fine, velvety, rich green grass, continuous in verdure from early spring to winter, and creating a springy, dense, carpet-like turf and per- manently beautiful lawn. THE QUANTITY OF SEED REQUIRED—There is no fixed rule, but a liberal sowing is always satisfactory, while a Hght seeding is a waste of time and usually dis- appointing. A beautiful lawn may be produced in a few weeks, or it may not approach perfection for two or more seasons, according to the quantity of Seed sown. When in a hurry for a fine, close turf, we have frequently sown at the rate of seven, or even eight, bushels of 20 lbs. to the acre, with the most gratifying results, but in general the following quantities will produce satisfactory results; 1 pound to 300 square feet; 5 pounds to 1,500 square feet; 30 pounds to 6,000 square feet; 150 pounds per acre. In thickening up established lawns slightly smaller quan- tities, depending on conditions, may perhaps be sufficient, but it is always well to put on CURRIE'S SPECIAL LAWN GRASS MIXTURE THO
