New Scientific Discovery 
of Utmost Importance to Lawn Makers 
Outstanding among the scientific discoveries in recent years is proof of the existence of plant hormones 
and their tremendous importance to plant growth. Extensive studies and experiments by scientists have 
shown that certain complex chemical substances exert upon the plants the same effect as the true plant 
hormones, the chemical nature of which still goes unsolved. 
First applied for inducing root development on cuttings, their stimulating effect upon seed germination 
became evident soon after. During the course of such experiments a very decisive hormone influence on 
grass seeds was observed —a finding of utmost importance to all lawn makers. 
Dreer’s Lawn Grass Seeds 
are Hormone-Treated 
at No Increase in Price 
Checking the results of our own experiments with those of other investigators 
we came to the conclusion that Dreer customers should have the immediate benefit 
from this sensational new discovery. 
Be among the first to see for yourself just what Dreer’s Hormone-Treated Lawn 
Grass Seed will do for you whether you start a new lawn or reseed the one you 
now have. 
The Hormone Treatment of Dreer’s Lawn Grass Seeds induces quicker ger- 
mination and more vigorous growth. The effect is most marked upon the 
roots of the young plants and, as every gardener knows, an extensive, well de- 
veloped root system is the foundation for a successful lawn able to withstand 
seasonable adversities and diseases. 
Even with hormone treatment thorough soil preparation still is very important. 
Dreer’s Hormone-Treated Lawn Grass Seed will make its best showing if sown in 
well-prepared, well-fertilized soil and given good care such as proper watering, etc.
