Dreer's Special Mixtures of Grasses for Pleasure 

 Grounds, Golf Links, Etc. 



There is no use to which a lawn is put 

 that is so exacting as that used for Pleas- 

 ure Grounds, Golf Links, etc. No other 

 turf is required to stand such wear and 

 rough usage ; hence the necessity of sow- 

 ing such Grasses as will produce a thick 

 and healthy growth, and withstand the 

 constant tramping of many feet. We have 

 devoted much time to experimenting, in 

 order to produce the correct mixtures, such 

 as will quickly produce a rich green turf, 

 and in presenting the two brands men- 

 tioned below we offer the very best mix- 

 tures of Grasses that can be used for tl.e 

 purpose. On this page we show tv^^o views 

 taken at the Golf Links of the Country 

 Club of Atlantic City, N. J., which were 

 sown with our Grass seeds. Mr. Harry 

 Vardon, the English golf champion, re- 

 marked that these Links were the best 

 upon which he played while in this coun- 

 try. Athletic clubs, and others who con- 

 template making new turf, should write to 

 us stating the area of ground, nature of 

 soil in which seed is to be sown, also the 

 purpose for vviiich the Grass is to be used, 

 and we will be pleased to advise, as to the 

 best mixture and quantity of seed needed 

 for the purpose, also the cost of same.
