HPm about ready to give up— 

 What CAN I Do to Restore My Lawn?" 



That question, asked us by a resident of a 

 metropolitan suburb, was typical of many 

 inquiries we received last summer from dis- 

 couraged lawn owners. 



"My garden is more beautiful than ever," 

 one woman wrote, "but, what with bare spots 

 and brown spots and crab grass, the lawn is a 

 fright. Against the attractive background of 

 the garden, it reminds me of a worn rag rug on 

 the floor of a tastefully furnished drawing room!" 



It is only too true that, as a result of the 

 serious drought of 1930 and the subsequent 

 lesser droughts in many sections, lawns gen- 

 erally have not fared very well during the past 

 two years. Yet it was significant that many of 

 those who wrote us last year insisted they had 

 tried everything — yes, every -thing! — excepting 

 only grass seed of known quality and dependa- 

 bility! 



Grass seed, you know, isn't merely a product 

 of Nature. It is also a product of selection and 



cleaning, as well as of experience and integrity. 

 For instance, Dreer's Celebrated Lawn Grass 

 Seed mixtures never contain any cheap annuals, 

 such as Timothy, that give quick but temporary 

 results. And they never contain a large per- 

 centage of worthless chaff, which, in some 

 grass seeds, sold principally on "price," runs 

 as high as 50 per cent! 



Furthermore, Dreer's lawn mixtures are noted 

 for their adaptability to many variations in 

 soil, climate and other conditions. That is 

 why they have given such uniformly excellent 

 results in every section of the country — on 

 home lawns and private estates, as well as on 

 the grounds of many leading country clubs, 

 athletic clubs, schools and other institutions. 



This year try re-sowing your lawn with 

 one of Dreer's Lawn Grass Seed mixtures — the 

 finest, recleaned, new-crop grass seed that 

 money can buy, at a cost no greater than that 

 charged by other houses.
