Many of the Fixest Lawns are Produced by the "Dreer" Lawn Grass 



DREER'S CELEBRATED LAWN GRASS 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, 

 Schools and Institutions, etc. These Mixtures have long enjoyed an enviable reputation for their general excellence, and it will always 

 be our aim to maintain their high quality by the use of only the finest recleaned Grass Seeds, as free from all impurities as the most 

 modern machinery can make them. Quantity of Lawn Grass Seed to Sow. One quart is sufficient for 200 square feet; 6 bushels 

 for an acre, or for renovating an old lawn use one-half these quantities. 



The "Dreer" Lawn 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 mixture. 

 For the convenience of customers, we put this seed up in various- 

 sized packages, from the single pint, which is sufficient to cover 

 100 square feet of ground, to such quantities as are required for 

 seeding large lawns where six bushels of seed to the acre are re- 

 quired. Per pt., 30 cts.; per qt., 50 cts., 4 qts., S1.50; peck, 

 $2.75, prepaid. By express or freight at purchaser's expense, 

 \ Bushel (10 lbs.), §5.00; bushel (20 lbs.), $10.00; 100 lbs., $47.50. 



Dreer 's Shady Place 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. In spring 

 give a light reseeding, then a top dressing of finely screened soil or 

 sand, together with Bone Meal. This will repair the damage done 

 by the winter rains. Per pt., 30 cts.; per qt., 50 cts., 4 qts., $1.50; 

 peck, $2.75, prepaid. By express or freight, at purchaser's 

 expense, \ bushel (10 lbs), $5.00; bushel (20 lbs.), $10.00; 100 

 lbs., $47.50. 



Dreer 's Terrace Grass 



Ordinary lawn grass will not hold the soil on terraces and em- 

 bankments, 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 prepared combi- 

 nation 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 anywhere, but it is best to 

 enrich the soil with our sterilized Sheep Manure, or with Bone 

 Meal, in order to provide nourishment to the young roots and give 

 a vigorous start to their growth. Per pt., 30 cts., per qt., 50 cts., 

 4 qts., $1.50; peck, $2.75, prepaid. By express or freight at pur- 

 chaser's expense, \ bushel (10 lbs.), $5.00; bushel (20 lbs.), $10.00;
