ABEL’S QUALITY LAWN SEEDS 
Abel’s Evergreen Lawn Grass Seed is being used on the finest lawns in Berks County 
ABEL’S EVERGREEN LAWN GRASS 
This formula, after years of experimenting, has been 
blended carefully of grasses adapted to producing very thick 
growth and velvety appearance. Our grass seed is tested 
for purity and germination and each variety of grass in 
its composition is here for a special purpose—some for mak¬ 
ing fibrous roots which hold upon the soil and keep the turf 
in place; some of a sure creeping nature, filling up any bare 
spots; others for their color value; also for withstanding 
beating down by excessive rains. 
One pound will usually seed a place of 10 by 10 feet; 1 
peck a space of 1,000 square feet; 1 bushel a space of 4,000 
square feet, or, say 40 by 100 feet. For a thicker, more 
permanent effect, more seed is better.
