Brands of Grass Mixtures are ihe result of careful trials. Tlie seed used, selected and re-cleaned, free 

 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 

 their germination. Care should be taken to eradicate this 

 coarse grass as fast as it appears. 



DREER'S " ETERGREEX " 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 velvety 

 appearance throughout the entire summer and fall. It is valu- 

 able alike for the formation of lawns in places exposed to the 

 sun, and also to partially shaded situations where it is difficult 

 to produce good sod. In making up this mixture we are ex- 

 tremely careful to use only the very best quality seed, wliich 

 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. 25 cts. per qt. (30 cts., postpaid) ; peck, 

 $1.00; bushel (20 lbs.), §4.00.

DREER'S FAIRMOITNT PARK 

 EA^WN MIXTURE. 



While not so good as our " Evergreen," this is belter 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-seeding 

 bare places which appear during the .summer. . 20 Cts. per qt. 

 (25 cts. postpaid) ; peck. 90 cls.'; bushel (20 lbs,), $3.50.
