Fottler, Fiske, Rawson Co!s Imported Bulbs of Superior Quality
Have always given satisfactory results for Winter Forcing and Outdoor Planting
Bll11"W of OllfllltV In placing our contracts for Bulbs with our special growers in the many foreign countries, uiuo Ui yuaiuj we specifically stipulate that they shall be filled with the best quality and size that each country produces. The quality of the bulbs that we have always received from these foreign countries will certainly recommend them. Under the conditions of a poor growing or ripening season, the bulbs which we receive will not be underrated with any which come to the United States.
BllltlS produce a repetition of blooms from Thanksgiving until Easter. Early planting of Allium Neapolitanum,
U Roman Hyacinths, Paper White Narcissus, Jonquil Campernelle and Tulips Due van Thol may be flowered
from November to January.
For Midwinter blooms use Dutch Hyacinths, Tulips, Narcissus, Crocus, Freesia; these may also be kept in a cold situation for late flowering.
Late blooming sorts, as Narcissus Poeticus and Alba plena odorata, Ixia, English and Spanish Iris, Anemone and Ranunculus do not flower until early Spring.
Bulb shipments aie made as early as possible after orders are received. Bulbs are not received by us at one time, which necessitates our making extra shipments. Customers desiring bulbs made in one shipment will please state same when ordering.
We do not pay postage on bulbs, except where specified at heading of such variety. Bulbs ordered to be sent Parcel Post should be accompanied by additional amount at zone rates, weight being given at heading of each variety.
■f’liral izilllS In the events of the present times and the increasing improvement of city and country estates,
2 the thought of naturalizing is always in vogue. This can in no way be better effected than by
the continual addition of Spring-flowering bulbs. Nothing recommends itself so strongly during March and April in the lawns and fields, among the woods and along brooks, as these Spring-flowering bulbs.
Tjprhsirpni1<5 Plants A very favorable time for setting out herbaceous plants is during September and
u October. These plants are in excellent condition at this season of the year and we
would suggest to those intending such perennial planting to consider doing so at above-mentioned time.
Our stocks of Hardy Perennials are in excellent condition, large, strong plants and of sufficient texture to withstand the Winter season.

Trees, Shrubs and Small Fruits, is having them planted during the Autumn. The best time for planting Ever- greens is September, that being the month when they are dormant, and satisfactory results obtained. Most of the varieties of Deciduous Trees may be moved or transplanted during October and November, after a hard frost and when the foliage has nearly all fallen. Fruit trees and hard-wooded Small Fruits may be treated in the same manner as the deciduous trees, ex- cepting the Peach, which should only be transplanted in the Spring months.

HYACINTHS

HYACINTHS
The Hyacinth is one of the most popular of the Fall bulbs and commands a place in every home and garden. There is nothing more attractive than a well-grown pan of Hyacinths, with their brilliant colors and delightful fragrance, together with their long keeping qualities and decorative appearance. Hyacinths may be brought to bloom about the latter part of January and if taken into the house at intervals, flowers may be obtained until the middle or latter part of April.
Hyacinth Baroness V. Thuyll growing in Holland
111 PotS When potting Hyacinths for growing indoors a medium light, well-enriched soil is best
suited, placing some broken crock in the bottom for drainage. Set the bulbs about XA
inch below surface of soil, giving them a thorough watering, and put them away in a dark, cold place, so that they will not freeze; water them as often as need be to avoid drying. They should be allowed to remain for at least 12 weeks, or until the pot is well filled with roots, when they may be removed to a warmer location, but still kept dark until a growth of 4 to 5 inches is made, then bring to the light gradually until allowed to flower.
When a repetition of bloom is required, bring out one or more pots every week or ten days from place where allowed to root.
Ouf-fl OOT Culture PrePare the beds or borders when they are to be planted with well-rotted manure, having
it well dug over to a depth of at least 12 inches, being well assured that the soil is well
drained to avoid any decay of the bulbs. Plant the bulbs at least 5 inches deep and 6 apart. As soon as the ground begins to freeze cover the beds with a litter of leaves, straw, or pine boughs to a thickness of 6 or 8 inches. This covering should be removed as early as possible after all danger from severe cold weather is past.
Culture in Classes T° grow Hyacinths in glasses of water, the type illustrated on page 5 should be used.
The largest size bulbs should be selected, as they produce better results, are more rigid in
the glasses and will support the top-heavy bloom. When the bulb is placed in the top of the glass, fill up with water so that the bottom of the bulb is about inch below level of water. Change the water every three or four days. A little broken charcoal put in the water will help to keep it fresh and sweet. The same general directions apply for growing in water as noted in “Culture in Pots.” We recommend the Top Roots or Mother Bulbs for growing in glasses.
Glasses for Growing Hyacinths
We can supply two styles of these glasses, the tall and short. See illustration (page 6). Colors: Amber, green, blue and clear crystal. Each 18c., doz. $1.75.

Hyacinths for Bedding
SINGLE AND DOUBLE
None of the many Spring-flowering bulbs can produce the uniform and symmetri- cal effects of the Hyacinth. Its distinct and bright colors, sturdy and erect habit, and the beautiful contrasts produced when planted in solid beds or used as a border for other tall-growing bulbs, give it a deservedly front place among flowering bulbs.
Our special bedding Hyacinths are all sound bulbs, sure to bloom and develop large, compact spikes. They are fine for bordering perennial beds and shrubbery. This size will give excellent results.

The bulbs of this Hyacinth are of a small size but of the true Dutch type, and not allied to the Roman Hyacinth as the name may imply. These bulbs are suitable for growing in large quantities where close masses of flowers are wanted, such as may be required in a perennial bed and border; or they may be used in clumps among shrub- bery and also for edging.

Hyacinths

These early-flowering Hyacinths are parti- cularly valuable for the florists in their Fall and Winter cut-flower work, and are equally important for the amateurs that they may obtain flowers through Thanksgiving and Christmas until the Dutch Hyacinths com- mence to bloom. To obtain the above re- sults plant early in September and force gently. Six bulbs planted in a 6-inch pot or bulb pan make a very fine effect.

SINGLE EARLY TULIPS
At the time of year when a flower of any sort attracts attention, the Tulips probably have no equal. The effects which they produce with their varied and brilliant colorings cannot be obtained in any other flower during the early Spring. Tulips make a most gorgeous display in flower beds before the time for planting the regular Summer flowers, and also produce a beautiful effect among shrubbery and perennial beds if planted in groups or clumps or used as borders. For forcing in the house in Winter, Tulips will make as nice pot plants as any one may desire. The same general directions for cultivation in pots may be used as for Hyacinths (see page 2).
The Single Early Tulips are the best for bedding, as they flower much earlier than the other sorts and will be through blooming in time for the preparation of beds for Summer flowers. Tulip bulbs should be set four inches apart, and covered at least four inches deep. Close planting produces the best bedding effects.

New Rembrandt Tulips
(Late Blooming)
The Rembrandt Tulip is one of the fanciest and most striking of the new Tulips, belonging as it does to the Late-flowering class and is a Darwin of the variegated and feathered type, having broken away from the regu- lar self colors of the Darwin. A class of Tulips with beautifully colored flowers, usually delicate shades with flames or stripes of a darker shade. The blending of the colors is quite remarkable, while the contrasting colors produce the finest and prettiest effects. Their tall, sturdy stems supporting the large and perfectly formed blooms make this one of the finest of our Spring-flowering bulbs.

The late-flowering Darwin Tulip has outclassed all its predecessors in type, style and beauty, and is at the present time the Queen of the Tulip family. It attains a height of two to three feet, with strong, heavy foliage, erect and robust stem, terminating in large and massive flowers. The colors of the Darwin embrace all the shades of white, pink, lilac, rose, scarlet, crimson and maroon, and most of the flowers show a particular satiny effect. Darwin Tulips are the finest among shrubbery and perennials; they grow tall, bloom for a long time and, if planted six to eight inches deep and left undisturbed, will flower for many seasons. A great many of the varieties will force to good advantage and may be had in bloom during March.

Single Late, or May-Flowering Tulips
These lovely late-flowering Tulips are very effective for all kinds of decorative work, and their value as cut flowers cannot be overestimated. They are all perfectly hardy, raised in the most northern part of Great Britain and Ireland, and are eminently fitted for border cultivation for bedding, forcing and every purpose to which the early-flowering Tulip is put. They often grow from two to three feet high, and flower usually about Memorial Day, lasting fully two weeks in bloom. We have given this group considerable attention in recent years, and we can fully recommend the varieties listed below as the best of their kind.

Narcissi, Daffodils and Jonquils
There is at the present time a very large assortment of Narcissi from which to make selections, and nearly all are of a quality worthy of cultivation. It is almost impossible to list the complete line of these beautiful Spring flowers, but in the following few pages we offer the varieties which we deem to give the best satisfaction.
The Poetaz and Polyanthtis types, the French-grown Trumpet Major and Jonquil Campernelle, may be flowered for Christmas, while the Large and Medium Trumpets and the Double-flowering sorts may be had in bloom from the middle of January until early Spring.
When ordering the large-flowered or double varieties, please do not use the word “Jonquil,” as the true Jonquil is the small or miniature-flowered sort.
jl 4-ii-rp Oil f'Si (if* The large_fl°wered. or the sorts which have large bulbs, should be planted from 4 to 6 inches
v^Uit v wu * deep and about 5 inches apart. Planting should be begun as soon as possible after October
1st, but bulbs may be planted any time before the ground is frozen too hard to work.
Culture in Pots.
They should be planted about 6 bulbs in a 6-inch pot or pan and put in a dark and cool place, where they may de- velop1 their roots. Let them remain until January 1st, when they may be removed to a warm- er temperature, but keep in the dark until the foliage is about 6 inches high : then bring to the light and allow them to flower.

Narcissus Poetaz Hybrids

While it is one of the best sorts for forcing in pots, it is admirably adapted for growing among peb- bles in water, much the same as Narcissus Paper White. The producers of these beautiful Hybrid Narcissi, thoroughly recommend them.

Grow cool and give plenty of water. In order to grow successions of bloom during the entire Winter, we have provided to supply these bulbs until March 1.

Blooms Without Soil or Water
By Parcel Post add postage at Zone rates, (see page 1).
Weight 4 oz. each, 4 lbs. per doz.
The Colchicum (Meadow Saffron) is a real curiosity in the plant world. The bulbs possess the peculiarity of pro- ducing a mass of beautiful, delicately colored, fragrant flowers in September, without any food at all. Simply place the bulbs without earth or water (or without any other food) on a mantelpiece, table or desk, and in a very short time they will produce their large, Crocus-shaped flowers. When the flowers have faded, the bulbs should be planted in the garden, where they will develop their fo- liage in the Spring; dig up the bulbs after the foliage has died and have them dried and cleaned. Once again you can enjoy the beautiful flowers in still greater abundance in the Autumn on your mantelpiece or desk; and the same fascinating method will repeat itself year after year.
Bulbs are procurable from September until November.
Each 15c., doz. $1.50, 100 $10.00.

CROCUS- SPRING- Eli OWE RING
CROCUS, SPRING-FLOWERING
“The Heralds of Spring”
Crocuses, among the first flowers to bloom in the early Spring, are always the admiration of everyone, especialljr when planted amid the grass in lawns, their bright flowers producing a fine contrast. They may also be planted among other Spring-flowering bulbs, such as Tulips, Hyacinths and Narcissi, making a splendid show before the other varieties begin to bloom. The results obtained from planting Crocuses in pots or pans for house blooming are very satisfactory. For this purpose it is advisable to use the best named* varieties. To grow Crocuses in pots, place the bulbs about one-half inch apart and one-half inch deep, keeping them in a cool place until thoroughly rooted, when they may be brought to the light for blooming. In the open, bulbs should be set at least 3 inches deep.

\JldlUUl Uo The Orchid Gladioli
Ready in November
THE HARDY GLADIOLUS FOR THE GARDEN. PLANTED OUT IN FALL WILL FLOWER THE FOLLOWING JULY A specialty of exceptional value both for forcing and outdoor culture. Extremely early flowering. Flowers outdoors in June and July
These beautiful early-flowering varieties are invaluable for pot culture and for border planting. They force readily, and they may be had in flower from the end of April till the end of July. They may be forced like Ixias, but they require more pot room, and they are invaluable for their yield of cut flowers from the open in June and July. They last long in water, and every flower opens to the extremity of the spike. Their rich colors and vivid markings on the lip petals rival those of Orchids, and we recommend this group not only for their beauty, but because they are very easy to grow. A light soil and a slight protection with litter during very sharp frost will prove all they require, and the spikes will be longer and the flowers larger if the plants are mulched in dry weather.

Rhododendrons
In preparing a bed for Rhododendrons, locate it, if pos- sible, in a spot partially sheltered from intense heat in Summer and from the cutting winds in Winter. The latter can be artificially met by using evergreen boughs as a Winter covering. The best soil for Rhododendrons con- sists of sods, well rotted manure, sand and a large amount of leafmold, well mixed for retaining moisture to protect from Summer droughts. Heavy mulching or covering of beds in Slimmer is an excellent preventive and in dry weather the beds must be thoroughly soaked. Pinch off all seed pods after flowering, in order to get good buds for next season. In the Fall, mulch the beds a foot or more with leaves, and if these can be left to decay, it is advisable to do so.

HOT-POT
Hotbed Sash (3 x e it.)
DOUBLE GLASS. Two layers of glass with the dead air space enclosed between, without boards or any covering, are warmer by night than the single layer sash with boards or mats; the warmth stored in the beds from the sun is held so effectively through the night, by the air space between the two layers of glass, that even in zero no covering or uncovering of the double glass sash is necessary. All plants in hotbeds and coldframes are improved by the constant light, night and day, that reaches them through the two layers of glass. These sash are made of the best cypress and are thick and strong. They are all painted two coats and glazed. Price, $4.75 each, 5 sash for $22.50, 10 sash for $42.50. Each

POTS AND SAUCERS, CLAY AND FIBER Jardiniere Flower Pots, Oasis. Eight days self-w-atering. When potting the plant, first fill the pot with water and allow it to stand for 15 minutes, then turn out water and place plant in pot, packing the soil firmly to within % in. of top edge of pot. Place the pot in the reservoir and pour water into the reservoir through the lip around the top edge of reservoir, until water stands % in- deep in the lip. The water supply of reservoir will last for 8 to 10 days, but it will be found more satisfactory to have an ap- pointed day in the week for refilling the reservoir, since in that case the duty is less likely to be forgotten and neglected until the plants suffer for want of water.

SUNDRIES SPRA — WIRE
Sprayers and Syringes
LOWELL SPRAYER. The best compressed air sprayer for florists’ use in greenhouses. All of the tobacco extracts can be used to best advantage with this sprayer. It is both automatic and positive in its action. One charge is sufficient to expel its entire contents. Each sprayer is thoroughly tested with both air and water pressure before leaving our factory. Having convex heads, entire contents can be drained from machine, leaving it perfectly dry when not in use. Heads after being seamed and riveted are dipped into molten solder, making it absolutely air-tight and the strong- est air pressure sprayer made, standing five times the air pressure necessary to operate. Tree attachment, consisting of three feet of j^-inch three-ply C. I. Rubber Tubing with spray nozzle one foot long, for small tree and shrub spraying; funnel with brass wire strainer cloth for filling, and shoulder strap for carrying furnished with each machine, also attach- ment to spray the under side of leaves.

CLOVER GRASS SEEDS

Fottler, Fiske, R

Clover
(Prices variable during the season. Ask for quotations in large quantities)
ALFALFA (Medicago sativa). Alfalfa is the mainstay of the cattle farmer, particu- larly of the dairyman. It is grown successfully in almost every section of the United States and Canada. Alfalfa requires a deep, fertile, well-drained soil, rich in lime and free from weeds. The lack of any one of these may be the cause of failure, es- pecially in the Southern or Eastern States. Well-rotted barnyard manure is a suitable fertilizer. Do not use fresh manure as it produces too many weeds. The young plants of Alfalfa are very tender and if weeds are plentiful they will kill out the Alfalfa. In sowing Alfalfa special care should be taken in preparing the soil. Land should be ploughed deep, harrowed and brushed and allowed to settle for some time before sowing. In the South and East Alfalfa succeeds best if planted in late Summer, and should be sown as far in advance of what promises to be the most trying time for seedlings. Seed should be covered from three-quarters of an inch to one inch deep. Inoculation is one of the most favorable methods of securing a stand of Alfalfa, especially in the Eastern States, where the soil conditions are less favorable to the growth of bacteria. (We recommend the use of “Farmogerm” for this inoculation). Quantity of seed required for one acre, 20 to 25 lbs.
Lb. 30c., 100 lbs. $26.00.
CLOVER Alsike (Trifolium hybridum). A perennial growing from one to three feet in height. Succeeds best in rather cold soil and in marshy lands which are too wet for other varieties. As it can withstand severe cold it grows well in the North and high latitudes. Excellent for bees. Fifteen pounds to an acre.
Lb. 25c., 100 lbs. $20.00.
CRIMSON (Trifolium incarnatum). It makes a very valuable crop for pasture or green manure. For hay it should be cut when in full bloom. Flowers are bright scarlet. Largely grown in all Southern States. Will not stand severe frosts and cannot be depended upon to stand Winters north of New Jersey, although in some sections of Connecticut and Massachusetts it is grown successfully. Sow twenty pounds to the acre. Lb. 20c,. 100 lbs. $16.25.
RED CLOVER (Trifolium pratense). Medium. One of the most valuable farm crops for New England or in the West, for soiling, hay or turning under as green manure. Requires deep, rich soil and yields two crops in a season. Sow fifteen pounds to the acre. Lb. 25c., 100 lbs. $20.00.
WHITE CLOVER (Trifolium repens). Sometimes called Lawn Clover and will succeed almost anywhere in the United States, and on almost any character of soil. White Clover may be sown at the same time as Red Clover; it is rarely sown alone, but usually used in lawn mixtures and for pasture. It is often affected by ex- treme dry weather and will appear as if killed, but on the return of the rains will reappear. 8 to 10 lbs. usually sown .to the acre. Lb. 60c., 100 lbs. $50.00.
SWEET CLOVER (Melilotus albus). A native of all parts of the United States and Canada and is a valuable addition to farm crops in many sections. Sweet Clover will thrive on most soils, either poor clay or sandy, but it prefers a limestone soil. Where lime is deficient, it should be added, and good results will be attained. It is the most vigorous soil enricher of all the Clovers, and will grow on soils that will not support an ordinary farm crop. Quantity usually sown to the acre, 30 lbs.
Lb. 30c., 100 lbs. $28.00.

Prices of grass seeds are f. o. b. Boston; also subject to market changes.
AWNLESS BROME GRASS (Bromus inermis). A very satisfactory grass for arid regions as a pasture and meadow grass. It is a thoroughly permanent grass of rapid growth, produces heavy crops and luxuriant pastures. A grass that is relished by all kinds of stock, and rich in flesh forming ingredients. A particularly hardy grass, being the first to start in the Spring and the last to feel the effects of frost in the Fall. The yield is usually from one to four tons per acre and should be cut when in full bloom. When sown alone use about 35 lbs. per acre. Lb. 30c., 100 lbs. $25.00.
BEACH GRASS (Ammophila arundinacea) . Valuable on the sandy seashore, canal and railway banks, etc. Its strong, creeping, matting roots bind the drifting sand into natural embankments against the action of wind and waves. Height, 2 to 3 ft.
Lb. 50c., 100 lbs. $40.00.
CREEPING BENT GRASS (Agrostis stolonifera) . Long, prostrate, creeping stems, well adapted for sandy pastures near the coast, and useful for binding shifting sands or river banks subject to wash or overflow. 15 lbs. to bushel. Lb. 50c., 100 lbs. $45.00.
CRESTED DOG’S-TAIL (Cynosurus cristatus). A slightly tufted perennial grass, 1 to 2 ft. high, with fine leaves. Is rarely sown alone; mostly used in mixture for seed of lawns. It forms a low and compact sward when thickly sown. It is said to thrive well in the shade. Lb. 35c., 100 lbs. $30.00.
ENGLISH RYE GRASS (Lolium perenne). Produces a strong growth in four or five weeks after sowing. It cures into a hay that is rather hard, but having a sweet flavor and much relished by cattle and horses. Height 1% to 2 ft. Sow 60 lbs. to the acre. Lb. 15c., 100 lbs. $10.00.
HARD FESCUE (Festuca duriuscula). A slender, densely tufted perennial grass, 1 to 2 ft. high. Thrives on dry, sandy soils. Sow 30 lbs. to the acre.
Lb. 30c., 100 lbs. $25.00.
ITALIAN RYE GRASS (Lolium Italicum). It is a very rapid grower, forms a dense turf, and is regarded as an excellent hay grass. Weighs 22 lbs. to bushel. Sow 50 lbs. to an acre. Lb. 20c., 100 lbs. $15.00.

KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS (Poa pratensis). A very widely distributed species, and without a rival as a pasture grass. Being of perennial habit, it will, when established, last indefinitely. One of the finest varieties of grasses for use in lawns, owing to the thick growth of sod. Blooming as it does the latter part of May, it can be harvested about June 1st and is one of the easiest grasses to cure. Seed may be sown in the early Spring or during September. An excellent variety for turfing, terraces and embankments. When sown alone, 30 to 40 lbs. required for one acre.
Lb. 20c., 100 lbs. $15.00.
LIME GRASS (Elymus arenarius). Valuable on sandy seashore and railroad banks etc. It tends with its tough, wide-spreading and thickly matting roots to prevent the drifting of the sand. Lb. 75c., 10 lbs. $7. 00.,
MEADOW FESCUE (Festuca elatior). A valuable hay or pasture grass. It will thrive in wet and moist lands; a rapid grower, and tends to keep down coarser grasses which frequent such localities, forming a thick sod which will stand the trample of cattle. When sown alone 40 lbs. are required for one acre.
Lb. 20c., 100 lbs. $18.00.
MEADOW FOXTAIL (Alopecurus pratensis). It is a valuable pasture grass, on account of its early and rapid growth and of its being greatly relished by stock of all kinds. 3 or 4 lbs. to the acre. Height 2 to 3 ft. Weighs 7 lbs. to bushel.
Lb. 50c., 100 lbs. $45.00.
RED TOP (Agrostis vulgaris). A highly recommended grass for permanent pasture and as meadow grass for hay. Red Top is especially valuable for sour and acid soils, swampy and meadow lands which are liable to overflow, and those that are not rich enough for Timothy or Clover; it does not thrive on sandy or leachy soils, but will adapt itself to a wider range of soils than any other grass. To obtain the best results from Red Top it should be harvested when in full bloom. It may be sown alone or with Timothy and Clover; these additions increase the quantity and quality of the hay. Red Top makes one of the best grasses for lawn use, either sown alone or in connection with White Clover or in a mixture with other grasses.
Red Top, Fancy Cleaned. Use 14 to 16 lbs. to acre. Lb. 20c., 100 lbs. $15.00.
Red Top, Unhulled. Use from 40 to 50 lbs. to the acre. Lb. 12c., 100 lbs. $10.00.
ORCHARD GRASS. A good grass for hay crop, yielding nearly the same amount as Timothy and almost equal in feeding value. Orchard 'Grass will grow on almost every soil that is not saturated with water. It prefers a moderately dry soil with considerable sandy material. It is usually sown in the Spring, but with favorable conditions may be sown in the Fall. One of the best grasses for sowing in shady places and among fruit trees in orchards. 35 to 40 lbs. required for one acre.
Lb. 25c., 100 lbs. $20.00.
RED FESCUE (Festuca rubra). Resists extreme drought; thrives on inferior soils, gravelly banks and exposed hills. 25 lbs. to acre. Lb. 30c., 100 lbs. $25.00.

TALL MEADOW FESCUE (Festuca elatior). Very pro- ductive; long duration; especially valuable for permanent pasture. Height 3-4 ft. 40 lbs. to acre.
Lb. 45c., 100 lbs. $40.00.
TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS (Avena elatior). Most valuable for pastures on account of its early and luxuriant growth. Withstands extreme drought and heat or cold. 50 lbs. to the acre. Lb. 30c., 100 lbs. $25.00.
TIMOTHY, or HERD GRASS (Phleum Pratense). The standard hay of commerce. The excellent quality of the hay and the ease of culture make it valuable. It is adapted to most soils but succeeds best on moist loam and clay, and crops are subject to soil and climate. The most profitable crops are obtained the first and second seasons. Timothy should be cut after the seed has formed and in full milk and at least four inches above ground. Timothy sown alone re- quires about 20 lbs. per acre; when sown with Red Glover use 15 lbs. Timothy and 5 lbs. Red Clover. It may also be sown with Wheat, Oats or Barley. Market price, from $3.50 to $5.00 per bus. Prices fluctuate.

Shady Spot Lawn Seed
For sowing on the north side of buildings, between houses, and for securing a lawn under
large shade trees.
In many lawns there are places which seem as if nothing can be grown ; some are shaded by large trees and others by buildings. For these locations we have offered for some time our Shady_Spot Lawn Seed, which readily meets the desired requirement.
It is always advisable for those who are seeding down the shady places to supply new soil, if possible, especially if the large trees are producing the shade, as their roots spread so fast and exhaust the nourishment in the soil. In the event of not being able to supply new soil, the ground should be well dug over and if tree roots predominate, these should be taken out.
In most places where grass seed is to be sown, when shaded by buildings, the soil will have a tendency to sour, and in such cases we strongly recommend the use. of slaked lime (about 50 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft.).
This special mixture for shady locations is selected from the best grasses possible to obtain for this purpose, and only those that will grow and flourish under shady conditions are used.
The ordinary lawn grass might grow for a short time, but as a general rule they will not last but one or two seasons and then make a poor showing.
Shady Spot Lawn Seed if sown in these places will undoubtedly grow and produce the best satisfaction.

T SPECIAL MIXTURES OF GRASSES FOR PLEASURE GROUNDS,
VJU11 IVllXlUre GOLF LINKS, PUTTING GREENS, ETC.
We have given much attention to the grasses used in Putting Greens, Golf Links, etc., as there is no purpose for which turf is grown that is so exacting. No other grass is required to stand so much rough usage, and it is therefore very necessary that the proper varieties be used to produce a thick and lasting sod. Foreign grasses are largely used in our mixtures, selecting those that thrive well here, with the addition of some American varieties that are equally fine and that have proved satisfactory in our experiments as well as in practical results obtained on the various golf courses. By using these mixtures, which are prepared specially for each use and with proper care, the finest Putting Greens and Fair Greens can be had.
