ENSURE A BEAUTIFUL LAWN BY USINQ 
BRECK’S LAWN GRASS SEED. 
Breek’s Lawn Grass Mixture has many imitations but no equal. 
Sow in Spring or during August and September. 
We have given much thought and made many experiments in order to ascertain just what is the best 
mixture for permanent lawns, and the grasses which are best suited to this climate. By the proper blend¬ 
es of the varieties which constitute Breck’s Lawn Grass, we have obtained a mixture that froni early spring 
to late fall will give to lawns made with it that rich, deep green so often admired upon the lawns and parks 
of England, but so seldom seen in this country. 
One quart will sow 300 sc,, feet. Price, per qt., $0.25. One peck will sow 2,400 sq. feet. Price, per pk., *1 2s. 
One half peck will sow i,2oosq. ft. “ “%peck,. 75 . One bushel will sow 16,000 sq. ft. Price, per bush., 4.00. 
Four bushels will sow one acre. 
We can supply other mixtures of so-called Lawn 
recommend our own as being superior in every respect to all 
tures of Grasses to suit different soils and conditions. 
Grass Seed at competitive prices, but we 
others. When desired we make special mix- 
BRECK’S “SHADY SPOT” LAWN GRASS. 
This is a mixture of grasses that are naturally adapted for growing under trees and in places where 
the sun does not find ready entrance. If sown on such locations, in place of the ordinary Lawn Seed bare 
and unsightly spots will be prevented. Per quart, 25 cents; peck, $1.25 ; bushel, I4.00.

GOLF LINKS GRASS MIXTURE. 
®ince the game of Golf became so popular in this country, we have had frequent demands for mix 
tures of grass seeds, suitable both for the Courses and Putting Greens, and adapted to low damn as well 
as the thinner dry soils on the elevations. ** 
It will be readily understood that no one mixture would be suitable for the different conditions We 
have, therefore, prepared three mixtures. 
No. 1. For Putting Greens. .Sow at the rate of eighty pounds to the acre. Per lb. is cents. 
No. 2. For light and dry soils. Sow at the rate of fifty pounds to the acre. Per lb 12 cents 
No. 3. For low and damp grounds. Sow at the rate of fifty pounds to the acre. Per lb 8 cts 
We will be glad to make special mixtures for other conditions of soil, etc.
