D|EEr$ E!fER$pjl LAWpI FIXTURE. 



An improved mixture which we are confident will supersede our Fairmount Park Mixture. Many of the European 

 grasses have been neglected because of their high price, but their value for lawn purposes in this country has been 

 demonstrated so clearly that their use will be rapidly extended. By a judicious use of some of the Fescues and other 

 foreign grasses with the standard lawn grasses of America we are enabled to offer to our customers a mixture which for 

 all good staying qualities is unsurpassed. Modern lawns demand grasses that are able to stand the wear and tear con- 

 sequent to their use for Lawn Tennis, Croquet, etc. 



Many of our native grasses grow luxuriantly during early spring and late fall, but are valueless during the 

 dry midsummer months; special attention has been given in this mixture to incorporate only such varieties as are 

 able to withstand prolonged drought and present at all times a green and healthy sward. 



For permanence, for beauty under all circumstances and for value, we are confident Dreer's Evergreen Lawn Mixture 

 will meet all requirements. When desired we shall be pleased to make special mixtures for any soil, or give our cus- 

 tomers the benefit of our long experience in matters pertaining to lawn or field.
