PERMANENT GRASS SEED MIXTURES FOR GOLF LINKS 
In order to better serve our customers and give them 
Golf Mixtures that are best adapted to the soils and 
climate of New England, we have made careful study 
and comparison of the mixtures used on the finest 
Golf Links in Scotland and England. Our mixtures 
are the result of many years’ experimenting and study 
in search of grasses that would make the finest and 
most permanent courses and greens. 
Some of the largest and best golf clubs in this 
section of the country have used our mixtures and 
we have yet to hear of unsatisfactory, results. 
No. 1. For Putting Greens. This mixture 
should be sown at the rate of 80 pounds per 
acre. Per lb. 25 cts. 
No. 2. For Fair Greens upon light and dry 
soils. Per lb. 28 cts. 
No. 3. For Fair Greens upon low and damp 
soils. Per lb. 25 cts. 
Mixtures Nos. 2 and 3 should be sown at 
the rate 50 pounds per acre.

Jos. Breck & Sons, Boston, Mass. 
I am getting some wonderful results from the grass seed 
you sent us this spring. I never saw seed germinate like it. 
I had to make a new putting green at No. 5 this year and 
although we seeded only three weeks ago, it is a perfect 
mat already.
