BRECK’S LAWN GRASS SEED. 
By the courtesy of Luther Adams, Esq. t of Newton, Mass., we produce here a partial view of 
his beautiful grounds. The fine lawns on Mr. Adams' estate are the product of BRECK'S LAWS 
GRASS SEEDS, and are but a fair representation of thousands of lawns raised from the same 
UNEQUALLED MIXTURE. 
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¬ 
ing 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. 
One quart will sow 300 sq. feet. Price, per qt., $0.25. One peck will sow 2,400 sq. feet. Price, per pk., $1. 25. 
One half peck will sow 1,200 sq. ft. “ “ipeck, .75. One bushel will sow 10,000 sq. ft. Price, per bush., 4.00. 
Pour bushels will sow one acre. 
We can supply other mixtures of so-called Lawn Grass Seed at competitive prices but we 
recommend our own as being superior in every respect to all others. When desired we make special mix- 
tares of Grasses to suit different soils and conditions. 1 
BRECK’S “SHADY SPOT” LAWN CRASS. 
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 
ami unsightly spots will be prevented. Per quart, 25 cents ; peck, *1.25 ; bushel, $4.00. 
BRECK’S 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 onart -*; 
cents; peck, $i. 25; bushel, $4.00. ^ ’ 
GOEE LINKS GRASS MIXTURE. 
Since 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, damp 11 
as the thinner dry soils on the elevations. r 9 P* >ven 
It will be readily understood that no one. mixture would be suitable for the different conditions We 
have, therefore, prepared three mixtures. Ui> ' " e 
No. i. 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. xacents 
? 5 °* 3 « low and damp grounds. Sow at the rate of fifty pounds to the acre. Per lb 8 cents 
We will be glad to make special mixtures for other conditions of soil, etc.
