Farm and garden annual, spring 1906 . wed in seeding, never fail to produce quickly a thriftygrowth of fine, velvety, rich green grass, continuous in ver-dure from early spring to winter, and creating a springy,dense, carpet-like turf and permanently beautiful lawn. THE QUANTITY OF SEED REQUIRED There is no fixed rule, but a liberal sowing is always satisfactory, while a lightseeding is a waste of time and usually disappointing. A beau-tiful lawn may be produced in a few weeks, or it may not ap-proach perfection for two or more seasons, according to thequantity of the seed sown. We have frequently, when in ahurry for a fine, close turf, sown at the rate of seven bushelsof 20 lbs. each to the acre with the most successful results,but in general the following quantities will produce the bestresults: 1 quart to 250 square feet; 1 pound to 400 squarefeet; 5 pounds to 2,000 square feet; 20 pounds to squarefeet; 100 pounds per acre. For renovating old lawns, aboutone-half the above quantities, on the average, is CURRIES SPECIAL LAWN GRASS MIXTURE. Composed of Evergreen Grasses, Suitable for our Ameri-can Climate, and made up from only the finest and cleanestgrades of seed.

This splendid mixture is composed of only the finest dwarf-growing evergreen grasses; absolutely free from weed seedsor other impurities; especially adapted and mixed in theproper proportion to suit the American climate. In compar-ing the cost of our Special Lawn Grass with other mixturessent out by the trade, remember that the natural weight permeasured bushel of our mixtures is 20 pounds per bushel,while that of mostmixtures is only 14 pounds per bushel. Toobtain this exceptionally heavy weight per bushel, we mustand do use only the heaviest and best samples of the variousgrasses which compose our mixture. This is in itself a gua
