CLOVENA GRASS SEED.

Sow American grasses on Meee soil; that is, grasses that are either indigenous to our climates or those kinds that haive been acclimated and are grown and seeded here.

With the era of close cropped turfs on lawns and grass plots, came the discovery that in the vast expanse of this continent of varied climes, several native grasses grew that produced

the ideal permanent sod required for lawns. With improved machine ,, clean, heavy seed can be furnished, one bushel of which will

weigh more and go further than three when the seed is encased in the chaff.

In the mysteries of “ mixtures"? much foul stuff often finds a dumping place, in the way of objectionable stocks, BORER weed seeds, or of low germination, and surpluses of unde- sirable kinds.

It is necessary to use more caution in the purchase of grass than of any other seed, as its appearance counts for little. To ascertain the germinating power, usually means the risk of a season’s growth. It cannot be sprouted for percentage like grain—conditions of temperature and moisture are not easily made artificially, such as abound in nature in early Spring. All our selected grass seeds are tested as to purity and germination, Dy sample, at Ziirich, Switz- erland, the most reliable source for such data.
