Grass Seed Mixtures. 



Sreer's Evergreen Liawn Mixture. 



For permanence, for beauty under all circumstances, and for value, we are confident Dreer's Evergreen Lawn Mixture will 

 meet all requirements. 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 ol 

 the Fescues and other foreign grasses with the standard lawn grasses of America we are enabled to offer to our customers a mix- 

 ture which for all good staying qualities is unsurpassed. Modern lawns demand grasses that are able to stand the wear and tear 

 consequent to their use for Lawn Tennis, Croquet, etc. 



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. 



25 cts. per qt., 30 cts. per qt. postpaid, $5.00 per bushel of 20 lbs., $3.75 per bushel of 15 lbs. 



DREER'S FAIRHOUNT PARK MIXTURE 



(Is a compound of grasses which ripen successively, thereby always presenting a green and cheerful appearance. Lawns sown 

 with one or two grasses turn brown under our hot midsummer sun, and remain in that condition until the cool months of autumn 

 ,/evive them. The mixture we offer has stood the test of years, and our rapidly increasing sales prove conclusively that its merits 

 are widely known by those who recognize the inalienable law of cause and effect, and who realize that, in order to produce per- 

 manent results, first quality goods only must be used. In no branch is it more true than in that of seeds. The temptation is 

 strong to include in mfxtures the " cheap and impure," but in Dreer's Fairmount Park Lawn Mixture one grade — and that the 

 highest — is rigidly adhered to. Many of the finest private grounds around Philadelphia are sown with our grasses only. For 

 Railroad Embankments, Terraces, etc., Dreer's Fairmount Park Lawn Mixture is admirably adapted, as it speedily forms a thick 

 turf that will effectually prevent " washing." Sow 3 to 4 bushels per acre — one quart is sufficient for a plot 20 by 15 feet, or 

 300 square feet. 20 cts. per qt., 25 cts. per qt. postpaid, §4.00 per bushel of 20 lbs., $3.00 per bushel of 15 lbs. 



Dreer's Pasture JflintuPe. 



Finest mixture of Grass Seeds and Clover for hay and permanent pasture. Adapted to different soils. Sow 3 to 4 bushels 

 per acre. 20 cts. per qt., 25 cts. per qt. postpaid, $3.50 per bushel of 20 lbs.
