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 Pleasure Grounds, Golf Links, etc. No other turf is 

 required to stand such wear and rough usage; hence the necessity of sowing 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 mentioned below we offer 

 the very be^t mixtures of grasses that can be used for the purpose, and are confident that they will give s.itisfactory results wherever 

 used. Athletic clubs, and others who contemplate making new turf, should write to us staling the area of ground, nature of soil 

 in which seed is to be sown, also the purpose for which 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. 



Dreer's Putting Green Mixture. 



\ 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, beautflul 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. Per 

 qt., 25 cts.; 30 cts. postpaid; peck, $1.25; bu. (20 lbs.), §5.00. 



Dreer's Golf Links Mixture.

 turf which will stand rough usage. For Cricket Tables, Golf 

 Links, Polo Grounds, or wherever a good sward is wanted, this

 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, Belmont and Manheim Cricket Clubs, and the leading 

 Golf Links of the country. Peck, 75 cts.; bu. (15 lbs.), §2.50;
