Abel's Evergreen Lawn Grass Seed is being used on the finest lawns in Berks County 
ABEL’S QUALITY LAWN SEEDS 
ABEL’S EVERGREEN LAWN GRASS 
This formula, after years of experimenting-, has been 
blended carefully of grasses adapted to producing very thick 
growth and velvety appearance. Our grass seed is tested 
for purity and germination and each variety of grass in 
its composition is here for a special purpose—some for mak¬ 
ing fibrous roots which hold upon the soil and keep the turf 
in place; some of a sure creeping nature, filling up any bare 
spots; others for their color value; also for withstanding 
beating down by excessive rains. 
One pound will usually seed a place of 10 by 10 feet; 1 
peck a space of 1,000 square feet; 1 bushel a space of 4,000 
square feet, or, say 40 by 100 feet. Tor a thicker, more 
permanent effect, more seed is better. 
Lb. 45c; 5 lbs. $2; bus. (20 lbs.) $7.50; 100 lbs. $35 
Penn’s Common or City Park Lawn Grass 
Contains only grasses suitable for the purpose of making a 
beautiful lawn. It germinates quickly and roots deeply, en¬ 
abling it to withstand the intense heat of summer. This 
special mixture can be recommended very highly. However, 
the formula and purity test does not equal that of our Ever¬ 
green Lawn Grass. Lb. 30c; 5 lbs. $1.25; bus. (20 lbs.) $4.50; 
100 lbs. $20.00. 
Abel’s Terrace Mixture Lawn Grass 
A special mixture of grasses for sowing on terraces and 
side hills—grasses that produce strong, spreading roots, thus 
preventing heavy rains from washing them out, that will 
withstand drought and exposure, thrive on shallow soils, and 
produce a rich, green turf throughout the season. Lb. 50c; 
5 lbs. $2.25; bus. (20 lbs.) $8.00. 
Abel’s White Dutch Clover 
Reclcaned for sowing on lawns, pastures, etc. Lb. 55c: 
5 lbs. $2.50. 
Abel’s Shady Place Lawn Grass 
Usually it is quite difficult to obtain a satisfactory growth 
of grass under trees and in shady places, and for sowing in 
such places we recommend the use of our special mixture. It 
will quickly produce an abundant and even growth of beau¬ 
tiful green grass. The grasses used in making this special 
mixture are those adapted for growing in shade. It has been 
successfully used on some large operations where greensward 
was desired on land partially shaded by old trees. Lb. 45c; 
5 lbs. $2; bus. (20 lbs.) $7.50; 100 lbs. $35. 
Kentucky Blue Grass 
Forms a close, thick dark green turf and is very hardy. 
Heavy, fine, clean seed. Lb. 35c; 5 lbs. $1.50. 
Fancy Red-Top Grass 
One of the Bent grasses. Used on golf courses and in all 
good lawn mixtures. Does well in wet places and under un¬ 
favorable conditions. Is drought-resistant. Lb. 35c; 5 lbs. $1.50.
