BRECK’S BANK and TERRACE 
GRASS MIXTURE 
BRECK’S ATHLETIC GROUND 
OR POLO FIELD MIXTURE 
There are many lawns situated on slopes and embank¬ 
ments and these situations require grasses that establish 
themselves quickly and make deep and well-developed 
root-systems. To meet these conditions, we have pre¬ 
pared a mixture of grasses that are hardy and that will 
withstand hard usage and frequent cutting. Our Bank 
and Terrace Mixture should be sown thickly and lightly 
covered. After the grass has become established, frequent 
mowing is recommended. No Clover seed is included in 
our Bank and Terrace Mixture. Sow at rate of 1 lb. to 
250 square feet.

Breck’s Special Formula of Mixed Grass 
Seed for Tennis Courts 
The grasses used are those most capable of making a 
strong, rapid growth. The roots of the grasses comprising 
this special mixture will strike deep into the soil, prevent¬ 
ing the rapid drying out of the turf in dry weather and 
yet furnishing a sod that will be permanent and which 
will stand very hard usage. No Clover of any kind has 
been included in this formula, as Clover is liable to make 
a playing-field slippery. Areas seeded with this Mixture 
may be kept closely cut without destroying the stand 
of grass. We recommend sowing at least 100 pounds of 
seed per acre. Application of Premier Poultry Manure 
as a top-dressing before the seed is sown will materially 
help in promoting the rapid growth of the grass and 
further applications at regular intervals will insure the 
permanency of the sod. The grasses in our mixture prefer 
slightly acid soils and fertilizers used should always be 
chosen because of their tendency to produce an acid 
reaction in the soil. For positive acid reaction Sulphate 
of Ammonia is recommended, but it must be used with 
the utmost care and at the right time of year.

The component parts of this special formula have been 
carefully selected and tested to meet the requirements of 
the soil and climatic conditions of New England. These 
grasses make a quick growth, are permanent, will with¬ 
stand hard wear, and yet furnish a firm, fine turf which can 
be closely cut. Light top-dressings of high-grade, soluble 
lawn fertilizers are recommended from time to time. 
Use SEMESAN to prevent and control Brown Patch on 
lawns and putting-greens. Semesan must be used according 
to certain specific rules that are easily followed. Complete 
circular on request.

FLORIDA HUMUS 
The liberal use of Florida Humus will 
help maintain a fine, even sward. An appli¬ 
cation of one-half inch as a top-dressing 
once a year is sufficient. It absorbs 5.81 
times its own weight of water in five hours. 
It is a natural home for the soil-bacteria 
upon which lawn-making and garden-mak¬ 
ing depend so much.
