Early Fall is the Ideal Time to Sow 



DREER'S LAWN GRASS MIXTURES 



The ideal time to sow a new lawn or resow an old one is early fall. At no other time of the 

 year is the weather so favorable to the germination of the seed and the development of the 

 young plants. Rain fall usually is plentiful yet there are no torrential rains like those of spring. 

 Sunshine is abundant. It is a warm yet kindly sun that does not burn like the scorching rays 

 of late spring and summer. Fall grass and crab grass have done their worst for the season 

 and cannot sprout une.xpectantly to choke out the finer growth. Summer droughts are always 

 a full year away and by that time the root system of the new lawn will be well established. 



The Dreer Lawn Grass 



The Unequalled Mixture for a Beautiful Lawn 



The first and most important requisite for the establishment of 

 a really good lawn is the correct choice of grass seed varieties 

 which make a dwarf compact growth and have a rich deep 

 green color. The Dreer Lawn Grass has been carefully prepared 

 in accordance with our own formula which has proved to give a 

 rich green, smooth, velvety lawn of fine texture altogether free from 

 grasses which are inclined to produce clumps or knots. The 

 grasses included are i>ermanent and of good color. They are 

 all strictly lawn grasses.

Each variety of grass in this composition is included for a special 

 purpose. The strong fibrous roots of certain ones take hold of 

 the soil and contribute considerably toward the permanence 

 of the sod. Other grasses in the mi.xture are of a creeping habit. 

 They are most essential as they quickly fill up the entire surface 

 and we.ive the sud into a thicK carpet of green. And there are 

 others which help the density and protect the lawn against rain 

 damage. The Dreer Lawn Grass is the ideal mixture f >r small 

 and large lawns.

 inches of good soil.
