DREER'S FAMOUS GRASS MIXTURES. 



fc 



Grass Seeds for Lawn and Pleasure Grounds. 



The formulas for Dreer's Brands of Grass Mixtures are the result of careful trials. The seed used, selected, and re-cleaned free 

 from weeds and foul grass. Seedsmen are sometimes censured for the appearance of Crab, or Fall Grass in lawns, but the fact in 

 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 germ- 

 ination. Care should be taken to eradicate this coarse grass as fast as it appears.

 turf which will stand rough usage 



Dreer's " Evergreen " Lawn 

 Mixture. 



This special mixture is the best for making beautiful and perma- 

 nent lawns. It is made from our own formula, and composed of 

 grasses which are especially adapted for the purpose of producing 

 lawns which retain their rich green color and velvety appearance 

 throughout the entire Summer and Fall. It is valuable alike for 

 the formation of lawnsin places exposed to the sun, and also to par- 

 tially shaded situations where it is difficult to produce good sod. 

 Many of the finest private Lawns around Philadelphia and its 

 suburbs were sown with this mixture, and we recommend it to 

 all who desire to sow the best Lawn mixture that can be made.

Dreer's Fairmount Park Lawn 

 flixture. 



While not so good as our "Evergreen," this is better 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 con- 

 ditions 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 ap: ear during the Summer. 20 cts. 

 per qt. (25 cts. postpaid); peck §1.00; bushel (20 lbs.) $3.50. 



For Cricket tables, Coif 

 Links, Po'o Crounds, or wherever a good sward is wanted, this 

 seed will give perfect satisfaction. We believe the Coif Links of 

 the future will be as fine as a velvety lawn, hence the need of a 

 first-class mixture. This brand is used on the grounds of the 

 Merion, B lmont and Manheim Cricket Clubs, and the leading 

 Golf Links of the country. Peck, 75 cts.; bushel (15 lbs.), 

 $2.50 ; 10 bushels and upwards, $2.25 per bushel.

A careful study of the requirements for making the most sub- 

 stantial turf for Putting Greens developed the mixture herewith 

 offered by us for this purpose. It has given thorough satisfaction 

 wherever used, and produces a thick, tough, beautiful green turf. 

 The varieties comprising this mixture are all the finest bladed, 

 low-growing and most hardy kinds, and will maintain their rich 

 velvety green color throughout the season. We also recommend 

 this preparation for terraces, embankments, and steep slopes.
