48 JOHN LEWIS CHILDS, FLORAL PARK, N- Y-
Text Appearing After Image:
This is a photograph of the residence of John Lewis Childs, at Floral Park, N. Y. The house is surrounded by eight acres of lawn, which for more than 20 years has exhibited • the superb quality of Childs* Floral Park Lawn Grass Seed. This lawn is one of the showiest near New York City. FLORAL PARK LAWN GRASS—Quick Growing. Not even fine trees and beautiful flowers add as much beauty to the home surroundings as does a fine, velvety lawn. To secure a fine, close, even sward, it is absolutely necessary to use proper grasses. Good, deep, rich color and turfy, compact habit, stooling out well from the bottom^ and they must be^able to stand the sun as well, and a considerable amount of drouth, without injury. We have a mixture of grasses that meet all these requirements. We use it at Floral Park, where it has been much admired. We have sold it in every State and Territory in the United States, and it has given entire satisfaction in every location. It grows quickly, making a fine green sward in a few weeks. A whole season's drouth will not kill out this grass. It may dry and burn as brown as possible, yet the first good rain will immediately bring it up green and velvety. Pint, 20c; quart, 35c; peck, $2.00; per bushel, $5 00, prepaid. For finest Lawn Shrubbery and Roses see pages 124 to 128. For finest bedding Cannas, the showiest of all Lawn plants, see pages 89, 90, 91. Our Perennial Phloxes, Golden Glow and other Hardy Perennials are fine Lawn plants. The showiest Annuals for the Lawn are our Giant Summer Cosmos, Wool Flower, Celosia Castle Gould, Nasturtiums, Giant Portulacca, Asters, Zinnias, etc. For bedding plants, Geraniums, Coleus Salvias, Verbenas. Our 10c booJc/'BEAUT/FUL HOME SURROUNDINGS/' tells all about Lawns and what to plant.
