BREC/CS STANDARD LAWN GRASS, 
We reproduce here a partial view of the City Hall grounds* Central 
Hill* Somerville* Mass. The fine lawn shown here is the product of 
BrecK's Standard Cawn Grass Seed. 
We have given much thought and made many experiments in order to ascertain just what is the best mixture foi 
permanent lawns, and the grasses which are best suited to this climate. By the proper blending of the varieties which 
constitute Breck’s Lawn Grass, we have obtained a mixture that from 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

Brookes **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 I^wn Seed, bare and unsightly spots will 
be prevented. Per qt. 25 cts.; pk $1.25; bush. $4.00. 
Brookes Bank and Terrace Grass Mixture. 
A mixture of deep-rooting grasses specially prepared for embankments and situations where it is impractical to get 
a successful catch of the less spreading rooted sorts. It produces a rich velvety turf throughout the season. No 
coarse-growing undesirable varieties are used in this mixture. Per qt. 25 cts.; pk. 31.25; bush. 34.00.
