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 experiment- 
ing, 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 exces- 
Sive 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. 
Lb. 50c; 5 Ibs. $2.25; bu. (20 Ibs.) $8.50; 
100 Ibs. $40.00.

ABEL’S SHADY PLACE LAWN GRASS 
Usually it is quite difficult to obtain a 
satisfactory growth of grass under trees 
and in shady places, and for sowing in 
such places we recommend the use of our 
special mixture. It will quickly produce 
an abundant and even growth of beautiful 
green grass. The grasses used in making 
this special mixture are those adapted for 
growing in shade. It has been successfully 
used on some large operations where 
greensward was desired on land partially 
shaded by old trees.
