Barnard's "Perpetual Green" Lawn Mixture Is a mixture of the finest Dwarf Evergreen Grasses that grow and flourish during different months of the year, so that a rich, deep, green, velvety lawn is constantly maintained."' Our mixture is the result of several years' experimenting, and, as we now offer it, is unequalled. The quantity required for making a new lawn is 75 to 100 lbs. per acre, or for renovating old lawns, 25 to 50 lbs. per acre. For a plot 15x20, or 300 square feet, one pound is required for a new lawn* or about one-half pound for renovating. A lawn seed mixture is very much to be preferred to any single grass; if it is honestly made, the several varieties of grass which compose it mature at different seasons of the year, thus keeping the green sward in good color and condition during the hot weather, not losing! its color, as the single variety is liable to do. Price: Vz lb„ 30c; lb., 50c; 3 lbs., $1.45; 5 lbs., $2.35; 10 lbs., $4.60; 100 lbs., $45.00 Barnard's "Shady Place" Lawn Mixture On nearly all lawns there are shaded, bare and unsightly spots on which the owners have difficulty in getting a stand of grass; fori such places this mixture is adapted. It is composed of dwarf-grow- ing grasses which are found naturally growing in such places. Should the ground have become "sour" or drainage defective, it . is apt to be covered with moss. If such is the case, the moss should first be removed by the use of a sharp toothed rake, then give a liberal sprinkling of wood ashes, lime or land plaster to sweeten the soil; stir thoroughly into the surface soil and then sow Barnard's "Shady-Place" Grass Seed at the rate of one pound for 300 square feet, or 75 pounds to 100 pounds to the acre for a new lawn; for old lawns sow seed in proportion, according to the conditions. Price: y2 lb., 30c; lb., 50c; 3 lbs., $1.45; 5 lbs., $2.35; 10 lbs., $4.60; 25 lbs., $11.35 Barnard's Choice Lawn Mixture While containing fewer and less expensive grasses than our "Perpetual Green," this is a good, well- balanced mixture which we do not hesitate to recommend. Price: Lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.65; 10 lbs., $3.20; 25 lbs., $7.75; 100 lbs., $30.00 Barnard's Special Lawn Mixture This mixture is composed of grasses"*selected irre- spective of cost as representing the best low-grow- ing, narrow-leaved varieties of fine texture and color. In preparing this "Special" mixture only seeds of the highest grades and extra heavy weight are em- ployed. It costs more, but "it's worth more." Seeded liberally upon good ground, well prepared, a lawn of the very highest excellence will result, lb., 60c; 5 lbs., $2.90; 10 lbs., $5.70; 25 lbs., $14.00; 100 lbs., $55.00 Mixture for Quick Effect There is considerable demand for a grass seed that will produce a quick-growing turf. For this purpose we have prepared a mixture of a few strong ger- minating, vigorous-growing grasses, which will pro- duce a turf of fair quality within a few weeks after seeding. The grasses in this mixture are mostly annuals or biennials, and such a turf could be relied upon only for one or two seasons. A permanent lawn could be secured, however, by re-seeding at any time with any of our other mixtures. Price, per lb., 30c; 5 lbs. for $1.40; 10 lbs., $2.70; 25 lbs., $6.25; 100 lbs., $22.00 Terrace Mixture of Grasses For seeding side hills, terraces, embankments, etc. A mixture of grasses whose roots penetrate deeply and bind the soil. When sowing, add to the mix- ture about one-fifth part of oats, which holds the soil together until the grasses have made a good start. Lb., 50c; 5 lbs. for $2.35 Putting Green Mixture This mixture is intended not only for put greens, but for all lawns that are to be used as pleasure grounds and necessarily requiring a fine, dense turf1—one capable of withstanding constant wear. With this in view, after experimenting with several combinations of the best fine-leaved, low- growing grasses we selected those which, rightfully proportioned together, produced just the results we were endeavoring to obtain. We have furnished some of the best-known golf clubs in the vicinity of Chicago with this mixture, and it has given splendid results. Price, per lb., 60c 5 lbs. for $2.90. Special prices on large quantities. White Clover The best variety for lawns. Fxtra fancy quality. H lb., 25c; Y2 lb., 40c; lb., 75c Add postage, if wanted by mall. See second pagre of cover.
