BRECK’S SPECIAL SEASHORE 
LAWN GRASS MIXTURE 
The grasses going into this mixture have been carefully selected 
for their deep-rooting qualities, their resistance to salt-spray, and 
for their ability to withstand drought and the conditions invariably 
found in poor and sandy soils. Before sowing this special formula, 
5 pounds of Wood Ashes or Poultry Manure should be applied and 
raked into the surface soil to every 100 square feet. At least 1 pound 
of seed should be sown to every 300 square feet. 
Lb. 60c; 5 lbs. $2.75; 10 lbs. $5.00; 32 lbs. (1 Bu.) $14.00; 100 
lbs. $42.00.

A Seashore Lawn 
GONE WITH THE WIND 
The worst of all lawn pests—as far as annual weeds 
are concerned—is Crab Grass. It appears in July and 
August and destroys the appearance of many lawns. 
B, 
recjf 
Until now there has never been any effective way of combatting this pest. At 
last, however, we have a spray material, “Gone With The Wind,” that effec¬ 
tively answers this pernicious weed problem. It is a chemical compound in 
liquid form which has been used successfully during the season of 1939 on 
many lawns infested with a heavy growth of crab grass. 
“Gone With The Wind” is easy to use and quickly applied. All one has to 
do is to mix the contents of the 6-oz. bottle with 5 gallons of water and apply 
with an ordinary pressure sprayer, using a fine mist nozzle. 
Crab grass should be completely killed by such an application within 10 
days. At the same time many other annual weeds will be destroyed. 6-oz. 
bottle $ 1 . 00 . 
'■•u/i 
Each 6-ounce bottle of “Gone With The Wind” 
Crab Grass Killer is sufficient, when mixed with 
5 gallons of water, to spray 660 square feet of 
lawn area.
