BRECK’S SPECIAL FORMULA 
OF MIXED GRASS SEED 
FOR TENNIS COURTS 
The component parts of this special formula have been 
carefully selected and tested to meet the requirements of 
the soil and climatic conditions of New England. These 
grasses make a quick growth, are permanent, will with¬ 
stand hard wear, and yet furnish a firm, fine turf which 
can be closely cut. Light top-dressings of high-grade, 
soluble lawn fertilizers are recommended from time to time.

BRECK’S ATHLETIC GROUND 
OR POLO FIELD MIXTURE 
No Clover of any kind has been included in this formula, 
as Clover is liable to make a playing-field slippery. The 
grasses used are those most capable of making a strong, 
rapid growth. The roots of the grasses comprising this 
special mixture will strike deep into the soil, preventing 
the rapid drying out of the turf in dry weather and yet 
furnishing a sod that will be permanent and which will 
stand very hard usage. Areas seeded with this Mixture 
may be kept closely cut without destroying the stand of 
grass. We recommend sowing at least 100 pounds of seed 
per acre. Application of Premier Poultry Manure as a 
top-dressing before the seed is sown will materially help 
Breck’s Tennis Court Mixture 
in promoting the rapid growth of the grass and further 
applications at stated intervals will insure the permanency 
of the sod. The grasses in our formula prefer slightly acid 
soils and fertilizers selected should always be chosen 
because of their tendency to produce a slightly acid re¬ 
action in the soil. Poultry Manure will produce this acid 
reaction. One can also use Sulphate of Ammonia in the 
same way but with more care.

BRECK’S BANK and TERRACE 
GRASS MIXTURE 
There are many lawns situated on slopes and 
embankments and these situations require 
grasses that establish themselves quickly and 
make deep and well-developed root-systems. 
To meet these conditions, we have prepared a 
mixture of grasses that are hardy and that will 
withstand hard usage and frequent cutting. Our 
Bank and Terrace Mixture should be sown 
thickly and lightly covered. After the grass has 
become established, frequent mowing is recom¬ 
mended. No Clover seed is included in our Bank 
and Terrace Mixture.
