Grass Seeds for Lawn and Pleasure Grounds. 



AWARDED GOLD MEDAL at the Pan-American Exposition, Buffalo, N. Y., 1901. Quality, Purity, Cleanliness and 



Permanent Results. 



A PoRTioK OF Lawn at the Pan-American Exposition, Buffalo, N. Y. 



The results from plantin;;; Dreer's Lawn Mixture at the Pan-American Exposition, Buffalo, N. Y., were so satisfactory that 

 we were awarded a Gold Medal for same. The lawns were also greatly admired by many visitors. The illustration shown alx>ve 

 was made from a photograph, and shows a thick, even growth, which was remarkable for so short a time after sowing the seed. 

 The formulas for Dreer's Brands of Grass Mixtures are the result of careful trials. The seed used, selected and re-cleaned, free 

 from weeds and foul grass. Seedsmen are sometimes censured for the appearance of Crab, or Fall Grass, in lawns, but the fact is 

 that the varieties used in lawn mixtures are perennials, seed of which is harvested in early summer, while the Crab Grass is an 

 annual, which matures its seed in September and October. These seeds remain in ground until conditions are favorable for t..eir 

 germination. Care should be taken to eradicate this coarse grass as fast as it appears. 



DREHR'S "EVERGREEIV" I. AWN 

 MIXTURE. 



This special mixture is the best for making beautiful and per- 

 manent lawns. It is made from our own formula, and composed 

 of grasses which are especially adapted for the purpose of pro- 

 ducing lawns which retain their rich green 

 color and velveiy appearance throughout the 

 entire summer and fall. It is valual)le alike 

 for the formation of lawns in places exposed 

 to the sun, and also to partially shaded situa- 

 tions where it is difficult to produce good sod. 

 In making up this mixture we are extremely 

 careful to use only the very best quality seed, 

 which has been thoroughly re-cleaned, the 

 light seed and chaff having been blown out, 

 thus securing a strictly high-grade mixture and 

 seed that will grow. 2-5 cts. per qt. (30 cts., 

 postpaid); peck, SI 00; bushel f201bs.), $4.00. 



DREER'S SHADY 

 PEACE MIXTURE. 



Usually it is quite difficult to obtain a satis- 

 factory growth of grass under trees and in shady 

 places; for sowing in such places we recom- 

 mend the use of this special mixture. It will 

 quickly produce an aljundant and even growth 

 of beautiful green grass. The grasses used in 

 making this special mixture are only those as 

 are well adapted for growing in shade. It has 

 been successfully used on some large operations 

 where a green sward was desired on land par- 

 tially shaded by old trees. 25 cts. per qt, (30c., 

 postpaid); peck, $1.2.5; bushel (20 lbs.), $5.00. 



DREER'S FAIRMOUIVT PARK 

 EAWN MIXTURE. 



While not so good as our " Evergreen," this is better than 

 most mixtures offered under the name of " Fairmount Park." It 

 is carefully compounded of grasses which ripen successively, 

 thereby retaining their green appearance. For 

 various soil conditions this mixture is well 

 suited, giving good results, even in small city 

 grass plots, where the soil is generally stiff and 

 heavy. It is also valuable for use on railroad 

 embankments, terraces and exposed lawns, also 

 for renovating old worn-out lawns, and re-seed- 

 ing bare places which ajjpear during the sum- 

 mer. 20 CIS. per qt. (25 cts., postpaid); peck, 

 90 cts.; bushel (20 lbs), $3.50. 



QUANTITY OF SEED 

 TO SOW PER ACRE. 



For the information of those who intend mak- 

 ing new lawns, we give below the quantities of 

 seed required per acre, in order to secure good 

 and permanent results. It is best when sowing 

 to use sufficient seed, as it will save much of 

 the re-seeding so frequently required by not 

 sowing heavy enough in the first place.
