Dreer’s Reliable 
LAWN GRASS SEED 
“Shady Place” Lawn Grass 
There are many home gardeners who are confronted with the task of establishing a good rich 
lawn in positions where there is semi-shade or shade during part of the day. Unless the proper 
kind of lawn grass mixture is used in such places results seldom warrant the effort. The use of 
Dreer’s Shady Place Lawn Grass insures a rich, verdant lawn of good appearance because the 
grasses used in this mixture are naturally tolerant to shade. 
Its composition is such as to blend 
perfectly with any of the other lawn mixtures we offer. It is, however, of the greatest importance 
that the shaded lawn is tended carefully by feeding it periodically and watering abundantly during 
periods of dry weather. 
A light reseeding every spring or fall helps to maintain its thick texture. 
Pt. 30c; qt. 55c; 2 qts. $1.00; 4 qts. $1.80; peck $3.00; 
2 bu. $5.75; bu. (25 lbs.) $11.00; 100 lbs. $52.00, prepaid. 
**Terrace’’ Lawn Grass 
The ordinary Jawn grass mixtures are bound to be somewhat 
disappointing if planted on terraces or deep slopes because a 
special mixture of grasses that will hold the soil in position and 
prevent it from being washed away during heavy storms is needed. 
The grasses included in this special Terrace mixture have been 
included for a specific need. Most of them are deep rooting. 
Others are added to thicken the sod so as to give a heavy, strong 
mat of a rich green appearance that will overcome the handicap 
of the inclining position. In sowing it is well to protect the 
planting with bags or cloth until the young plants are well sprouted. 
Pt. 25c; qt. 45c; 2 qts. 85c; 4 qts. $1.50; peck $2.75; 4 bu. $5.25; 
bu. (20 lbs.) $10.00; 100 Ibs. $48.00, prepaid. 
*‘Southern’’ Lawn Grass 
Heretofore it has always been more or less difficult in tropical 
or semi-tropical climates to keep the lawn attractive. Much of 
this difficulty can be overcome by starting with a mixture that 
contains the right kind of grasses in a properly balanced blend. 
Dreer’s Southern Lawn Grass Mixture has been prepared with the 
utmost care and will give excellent results if properly watered and 
fertilized. Bermuda grass is one of the many components of this 
mixture. Pt. 25c; qt. 45c; 2 qts. 85c; 4 qts. $1.50; peck $2.75; 
3 bu. $5.25; bu. (20 Ibs.) $10.00; 100 Ibs. $48.00, prepaid.

*“Seashore’’ Lawn Grass 
A rich green lawn is most desirable at the seashore but unless 
the right mixture of grasses and clover is used the results are likely 
to be disappointing. Our Seashore grass is composed of deep 
rooting varieties which quickly produce a rich, thick, green turf 
of good appearance. As good lawn grass will not thrive in pure sand 
it is essential that the land is first top dressed with not less than 
4 inches of good garden soil. Some gardeners have found that by 
placing a 2 inch layer of heavy clay below this top layer of good 
soil they have little trouble of keeping the lawn thoroughly mois- 
tened. Occasional top dressings with Bovung are also most bene- 
ficial. Pt. 25c; qt. 45c; 2 qts. 85c; 4 qts. $1.50; peck $2.75; 
4 bu. $5.25; bu. (20 lbs.) $10.00; 100 lbs. $48.00, prepaid. 
White Dutch Clover 
There are many gardeners who prefer to have a heavy stand of 
White Dutch Clover in their lawn because it helps considerably 
to thicken the sod and drives out undesirable grasses such as crab 
grass which is so prevalent throughout the eastern states. Sow 
from 2 to 6 ounces to each pound of grass seed (200 sq. ft.). Sow 
the clover separately in order to secure an even distribution. Oz. 
10c; 4 lb. 30c; 4 Ib. 45c; lb. 85c; prepaid. Not prepaid, lb. 75Sc; 
5 lbs. $3.50; 10 lbs. $6.75; bu. (60 Ibs.) $39.00; 100 Ibs. $63.00.
