Dreer's New Improved 

 Lawn Grass Mixtures 



The extra-heavy bushel weight of Dreer's New Improved Lawn Clrass Mixtures will prove a 

 distinct advantage to all who sow them. The heavy weight of these splendid mixtures means that 

 every pint, quart, peck, etc. contains so much more virile and heavy seed — insuring a perfect stand 

 of grass. Needless to say only the finest varieties of grasses are used in preparing these mixtures. 

 They are free from kinds that produce clumps or knots that spoil the even smooth effect of the 

 lawn. All of them are permanent and fme-bladed. 



Why You Should 

 Sow in the Fall 



Early fall is the ideal time to sow 

 a new lawn or resow the old one. 

 Germination is certain and the young 

 plants benefit by the usual autumn 

 rains and the cool nights. Sunshine 

 is abundant, yet it is a warm kindly 

 sun that does not burn like the 

 scorching rays of late spring and 

 early summer. Fall and Crab C^rass 

 have done their worst and cannot 

 sprout unexpectedly to choke out the 

 finer growth. Summer droughts are 

 a full year away. 



**The Dreer" Lawn Grass 



The Unequalled Mixture for a Beautiful Lawn 



Where a fine-bladed, dense, rich green lawn is wanted we recommend the Dreer 

 Lawn Grass as the finest and most satisfactory mixture that can be obtained. It 

 will give a perfect lawn because it includes the correct proportion of grass seed 

 varieties which make a dwarf compact growth and have a rich green color. The 

 Dreer Lawn Grass has been prepared in accordance with our own special formula 

 which has proved to give a smooth velvety lawn of finest texture free from any 

 coarse grass that would spoil the good effect. All the grasses included are permanent 

 and of good color. They are strictly lawn grasses of first quality. Each variety 

 included serves a special purpose. The strong librous roots of certain ones take 

 hold of the soil and contribute considerably towards the permanence of the sod. 

 Others of creeping habit weave the sod into a thick-textured carpet of green that 

 can stand considerable trampling and give good protection against heavy down- 

 pours. The Dreer Lawn Grass is the ideal mixture for large estates as well as for 

 the home lawn where beauty is considered paramount.

 able hard wear. Also suited for embankments and terraces.

 green turf. Cover with burlap or cloth until the seed is sprouted.

"Seashore" Lawn Grass 



A rich green lawn is especially desirable at the Seashore but suc- 

 cess depends entirely upon sowing a mixture that contains the 

 proper varieties. As grass will not grow in pure sand a top dressing 

 of a 2 to 4 inch layer of good top soil is essential to success.

 or semi-tropical climates to keep the lawn attractive. Dreer's 

 Southern Lawn Grass mixture is composed of grasses that are 

 particularly suited to such climes. Bermuda grass is one of its 

 many components. Where the lawn is pflroperly fertilized and
