 Grass Seeds for Lawn and Pleasure Grounds. 



The formulas for Dreer's Brands of Grass Mixtures are the resu 

 from weeds and loul grass. Seedsmen are sometimes censured 

 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, \vhich 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. 



DRBBR'S "EVERGREEN" LAWN 

 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 extremely 

 careful to use only the very best quality seed, which 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. Many of the finest private lawns around Phila- 

 delphia and its saburbs were sown with this mixture, and we 

 recommend it to all who desire to sow the best 

 lawn mixture that can be made. 25 cts. 

 per qt. (30 cts. 

 postpaid); peck, 

 $1.00; bu. (20 

 lbs.), $4.00.
