Oreer’s Gyergreen awn SP ixture, 
An improved mixture which we are confident will supersede our Fairmount Park Mixture. Many of the European 
grasses have been neglected because of their high price, but their value for lawn purposes in this country has been 
demonstrated so clearly that their use will be rapidly extended. By a judicious use of some of the Fescues and other 
foreign grasses with the standard lawn grasses of America we are enabled to offer to our customers a mixture which for 
all good staying qualities is unsurpassed. Modern Jawns demand grasses that are able to stand the wear and tear con- 
sequent to their use for Lawn Tennis, Croquet, ete. 
Many of our native grasses grow luxuriantly during early spring and late fall, but are valueless during the dry 
midsummer months; special attention has been given in this mixture to incorporate only such varieties as are able to 
withstand prolonged drought and present at all times a green and healthy sward. 
For permanence, for beauty under all circumstances and for value, we are confident Dreer’s Evergreen Lawn Mix- 
ture will meet all requirements. When desired we shall be pleased to make special mixtures for any soil, or give our 
customers the benefit of our long experience in matters pertaining to lawn or field.

GRASS SEEDS FOR i7WN “4 FIELD. 
We make a specialty of grass seeds and send out only the most useful varieties which are adapted to 
this country. All that we offer have been recleaned and will meet the views of the most critical trade. 
Owing to the varying bulk of grass seeds from season to season (owing to climatic conditions which can- 
not be controlled), they are always put up by us by weight and not by measure, thereby securing to our 
customers the amount they pay for, as prices are based on weight and not on bulk.
