DREER'S 



CELEBRATED LAWN GRASS SEEDS 



OUR special brands of Lawn Grass Seeds are noted for their adaptability to various situations and soil conditions, and are now used 

 in every section of the country for making private lawns, and also on the grounds of many leading Country Clubs, Athletic Clubs, 

 Golf Links, etc. The lawns at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, held during the summer of 1909, were made 

 with "Dreer's Lawn Grass," and we were awarded a Gold Medal for same. Many other prizes have been awarded us for Grass Seeds, 

 including Gold Medal by the Pan-American Exposition, held at Buffalo, N. Y, 



THE "DREER" LAWN GRASS 



This is by far the best mixture of grasses offered for the purpose 

 of quickly producing a permanent lawn. It is prepared from our 

 own formula, and is a careful blending of varieties adapted to 

 producing the thick growth and velvety appearance so much sought 

 after. Each variety of grass in its compo.sition is there for a special 

 purpose; some for making strong fibrous roots, which take hold 

 upon the soil and keep the turf in place, others of a creeping nature 

 quickly fill up any bare spots which may be caused by the taller 

 sorts dying down; varieties which are useful for their color value, 

 and also kinds that are able to withstand the beating down of 

 excessive rains. 



Whether you want to seed a small grass plot in your yard, or a 

 lawn of more pretentious size, you should use this grass mixture. 

 For the convenience of customers, we put this seed up in various- 

 sized packages, from the .single quart, which is sufficient to cover 

 250 square feet of ground, to such quantities as are required for 

 seeding large lawns where from five to six bushels of seed to the 

 acre are required. Per qt., 40 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, 

 at purchaser's expense, qt., 35 cts.; 4 qts., $1.25; peck, $2.25; 

 bushel (20 lbs.), $8.00. 



DREER'S SHADY PLACE GRASS 



Usually it is quite difficult to obtain a satisfactory growth of 

 grass under trees and in shady places. For sowing in such places 

 we recommend the use of this special mixture. It will quickly 

 produce an abundant and even growth of beautiful green grass. 

 The grasses used in making this special mixture are only those 

 that are well adapted for growing in shade, and as it blends well 

 with our regular Lawn Grass Mixture, it may be used on those 

 portions of the lawn which are shaded by trees, buildings, etc., 

 thus covering the whole area with a rich green sward. Per qt., 

 40 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, at purchaser's expense, 

 qt., 35cts.; 4 qts., $1.25; peck, $2.25; bushel (20 lbs.), $8.00. 



DREER'S TERRACE GRASS 



Ordinary lawn j grass will not hold the soil on terraces and 

 embankments, which require a thick turf, composed of varieties 

 which make strong roots to take hold of the soil and prevent wash- 

 ing by heavy rains. Our Terrace Grass is a carefully prepared 

 combination of such grasses as will fill the requirements by making 

 a quick growth of grass which will form a strong mat and present 

 a good appearance. It will grow well anywhere, but it is best to 

 enrich the soil, in order to provide nourishment to the young roots 

 and give a vigorous start to their growth. Per qt., 40 cts., post- 

 paid. By express or freight, at purchaser's expense, qt., 35 cts.; 

 4 qts., $1.25; peck, $2.25; bushel (20 lbs.), $8.00. 



SEASHORE LAWN GRASS 



A rich, green lawn is especially desirable at the seashore, but 

 unless the right mixture of grasses and clover are used the result 

 will be disappointing. Our Seashore Lawn Grass is composed of 

 strong-rooted varieties which quickly produce a good turf. In 

 preparing the land it should first be top-dressed with about four 

 inches of good soil, as grass will not grow well in sand, but the 

 seeds will quickly germinate in the top-soil and make strong roots, 

 vifhich reach down into the sand for moisture. In order to keep the 

 seaside lawn in good condition it should be watered liberally every 

 evening, and also have an occasional application of pure Bone 

 Meal in order to keep up a vigorous growth. Per qt., 40 cts., post- 

 paid. By express or freight, at purchaser's expense, qt., 35 cts.; 

 4 qts., $1.25; peck, $2,25; bushel (20 lbs.), $8.00. 



DREER'S "EVERGREEN" LAWN 

 GRASS 



This special mixture produces beautiful and permanent lawns. 

 It is made from our own formula, and composed of grasses which 

 are adapted for the purpose of producing turf which retains its 

 rich green color and velvety appearance throughout the entire 

 summer and fall. In making up this brand we are careful to use 

 seed that has been thoroughly re-clearied. Per qt., 35 cts., post- 

 paid. By express or freight, at purchaser's expense, per qt., 30 

 cts.; 4 qts., $1.00; peck, $1.75; bushel (20 lbs.), $6 50. 



DREER'S FAIRMOUNT PARK 

 LAWN GRASS 



This popular, low priced mixture is well suited for various soil 

 conditions, giving good results even in small city grass plots, where 

 the soil is generally stiff and heavy. It is also valuable for use on 

 embankments and terraces; also for renovating old, worn-out 

 lawns. Per qt , 30 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, at pur- 

 chaser's expense, per qt., 25 cts.; 4 qts., 75 cts.; peck, $1.50;
