I'EBi''^ Evergreen ^awn ^i^toe. 



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 otter to our customers a mixture which for 

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

 sequent 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. 



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 pertaiuiug to lawn or field.

GPSS SEEDS FOI( BJIVN U FIE&D. 



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.

 sis). Also known as June Grass. It is one of the

 grade is the best for sowing lawns. 20 cts. qt., 25 cts.
