Seed Catalogue. 15 sowing at such a time as to give the young plants a chance to become well estab- lished before being subjected to ver}^ dry or cold weather or to the direct rays of the hot summer sun. However much care is bestowed on the soil and seed, no lawn will be beautiful without frequent mowing and rolling. Too much care can- not be bestowed upon the selection of grasses, as some varieties are the most luxuriant in spring, others in summer, others again in autumn, and a combina- tion of the proper sorts is required for a perfect, carpet-like lawn. We have given much thought and made many experi- ments to secure the best selection, and think our Mixture is the best possible for permanent lawns. It may bo planted early in spring, or fall, and should be sown at the rate of sixty to one hundred pounds per acre; much more is required than for hay or pasturage. If sown in the spring, sow as early as possible, making the surface very tine and smooth, then raking it ovcm-and sowing the seed just | are globular, fragrant and much liked by Clover Seeds.

The young plants are quite tender and the land must be free of weeds until the}^ become established. Alsike ( Trifolium hybridum).âThe most hardy of all clovers; perennial.
