DREER'S 



CELEBRATED LAWN QRASS SEEDS 



OUR special brands of Lawn Grass Seeds are noted for their adaptability to various situations and soil conditions, and are 

 now used in every section of the country for making private lawns, and also on the grounds of many leading Country 

 Clubs, Athletic Clubs, Golf Links, etc. The lawns at the Alaska=Yukon°Pacific Exposition, held during the sum- 

 mer of 1909, were made with "Dreer's Lawn Grass," and we were awarded a Gold Medal for same. Many other prizes have 

 been awarded us for Grass Seeds, including Qold TVledal by the Pan-American Exposition, held at Buffalo, N. Y. 



THE "DREER" EA^VN GRASS 



This is by far the best mixture of grasses offered for the pur- 

 pose of quickly producing a permanent lawn. It is prepared 

 from our own formula, and is a careful blending of varieties 

 adapted to producing the thick growth and velvety appearance 

 so much sought after. Each variety of grass in its composition 

 is there for a special purpose; some for making strong fibrous 

 roots, which take hold upon the soil and keep the turf in place, 

 others of a creeping nature quickly fill up any bare spots which 

 may be caused by the taller sorts dying down; varieties which 

 are useful for their color value, and also kinds that are able to 

 withstand the beating down of excessive rains. 



Whether you want to seed a small grass plot in your yard, or 

 a lawn of more pretentious size, you should use this grass mix- 

 ture. For the convenience of customers, we put this seed up in 

 various-sized packages, from the single quart, which is sufficient 

 to cover 250 square feet of ground, to such quantities as are re- 

 quired for seeding large lawns where from five to six bushels 

 of seed to the acre are required. Per qt., 35 cts. , postpaid. 

 By express or freight, at purchaser's expense, qt., 30 cts.; 4 

 qts., $L00; peck, $L.50; bushel (20 lbs.), $6.00. 



DREER'S SHADY PEACE GRASS 



Usually it is quite difficult to obtain a satisfactory growth of 

 grass under trees and in shady places. For sowing in such 

 places we recommend the use of this special mixture. It will 

 quickly produce an abundant and even growth of beautiful 

 green grass. The grasses used in making this special mixture 

 are only those that are well adapted for growing in shade, and 

 as it blends well with our regular Lawn Grass mixture, it may 

 be used on those portions of the lawn which are shaded by 

 trees, buildings, etc., thus covering the whole area with a rich 

 green sward. Per qt., 35 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, 

 at purchaser's expense, qt., 30 cts; 4 qts., $1.00; peck, $1.50; 

 bushel (20 lbs.), $6.00. 



DREER'S TERRACE GRASS 



Ordinary lawn grass will not hold the soil on terraces and 

 embankments, which require a thick turf, composed of varieties 

 which make strong roots to take hold of the soil and prevent 

 washing by heavy rains. Our Terrace Grass is a carefully pre- 

 pared combination of such grasses as will fill the requirements 

 by making a quick growth of grass which will form a strong 

 mat and present a good appearance. It will grow well any- 

 where, but it is best to enrich the soil, in order to provide nour- 

 ishment to the young roots and give a vigorous start to their 

 growth. Per qt., 35 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, at 

 purchaser's expense, qt., 30 cts.; 4 qts., $1.00; peck, $1.50; 

 bushel (20 lbs.), $6.00. 



SEASHORE EAWN GRASS 



A rich, green lawn is especially desirable at the seashore, but 

 unless the right mixture of grasses and clover are used the result 

 will be disappointing. Our Seashore Lawn Grass is composed 

 of strong-rooted varieties which quickly produce a good turf. In 

 preparing the land it should first be top-dressed with about four 

 inches of good soil, as grass will not grow well in sand, but the 

 seeds will quickly germinate in the top-soil and make strong 

 roots, which reach down into the sand for moisture. In order 

 to keep the seaside lawn in good condition it should be watered 

 liberally every evening, and also have an occasional applica- 

 tion of pure Bone Meal in order to keep up a vigorous growth. 

 Per qt.. 35 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, at pur- 

 chaser's expense, qt., 30 cts.; 4 qts., $1.00; peck, $1.50; 

 bushel (20 lbs.), $6.00.
