Breck’s Standard Lawn Grass Seed 
Breck’s “Shady Spot” Lawn Grass 
We have given much 
thought and made many 
experiments in order to as¬ 
certain just what is the 
best mixture for perman¬ 
ent lawns, and the grasses 
which are best suited to 
this climate. By the pro¬ 
per 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. 
One quart will sow 300 sq. ft.Price per qt. $0.25 
One-half peck will sow 1,200 sq. ft. Price per Vz pk. .85 
One peck will sow 2,400 sq. ft.Price per pk. 1.50 
One bush, will sow 10,000 sq. ft.Price per bush. 5.00 
Four hushels will sow one acre.

The same mixture of 
grasses and clover as sup¬ 
plied by us to the City of 
Boston Park Commission¬ 
ers for sowing on the 
Franklin and other parks 
administered by them.

Boston Park 
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 qt., 25c; pk., 
$1.50; bush., $5.00. 
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 qt., 25c; pk., $1.50; bush., $5.00. 
Sterlingworth Lawn Compound 
Kills the weeds but not the grass and makes the lawn 
green and velvety. 
It seems incredible that a preparation can be made 
which will kill the weeds in lawns without injuring the 
grass. This is exactly what “STERLINGWORTH LAWN 
COMPOUND” will do and also it will help the grass to 
grow green and greatly improve the sward. It absolutely 
destroys Dandelions, Plantain, Chickweed and all weeds 
with hairy surfaces or broad leaves. It is a dry sandy 
powder to be applied by sprinkling over the grass. 
Five pounds will dress 500 to 700 square feet. Full 
directions for use on each package. Prices: 5-lb. cans, 
60c; 10-lb. cans, $1.00; 50-lb. kegs, $4.00; 100-lb. kegs, 
$7.50.
