Brech's BANK AND TERRACE 
GRASS MIXTURE 
There are many lawns situated on slopes and em- 
bankments and these situations require grasses that 
establish themselves quickly and make deep and well- 
developed root-systems. To meet these conditions, we 
have prepared 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 estab- 
lished, 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. 
1 Ib. 60c., 5 Ibs. $2.75, 10 Ibs. $5.00, 
20 Ibs. (1 bu.) $8.50, 100 Ibs. $40.00 
Brech'4 SPECIAL SEASHORE 
LAWN GRASS MIXTURE 
The grasses in this mixture have been carefully se- 
lected 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 Ibs. of 
Brexone should be applied to every 100 square feet 
and raked into the surface soil. At least 1 lb. of seed 
should be sown to every 800 square feet. 
Lb. 60c., 5 Ibs. $2.75, 10 Ibs. $5.00, 
32 Ibs. (1 bu.) $15.00, 100 Ibs. $45.00 
Brech'4 SPECIAL FORMULA 
OF MIXED GRASS SEED 
FOR TENNIS COURTS 
The component parts of this special formula have 
* been carefully selected and tested to meet the require- 
- ments of the soil and climatic conditions of New Eng- 
land. These grasses make a quick growth, are perma- 
nent, will withstand hard wear and will furnish a firm, 
fine turf which can be closely cut. Light top-dressings 
of Brexone are recommended from time to time. 
1 Ib. 60c., 5 Ibs. $2.75, 10 Ibs. $5.00, 
100 Ibs. $45.00 


Roctone-ize Your Grass Seed 
Rootone will cause faster seed germination and stronger root growth. The more rugged root system taps lower soil levels 
and brings more food and moisture to the plants. This also means better utilization of fertilizer and therefore a thicker, heay- 
ier turf. The creation of a denser growth of grass is the best possible way to attain that much desired weed-free lawn. 
Rootone is a synthetic plant hormone powder which acts as a root-forming stimulant. Use 1 oz. with each 10 lbs. of seed 
and stir until it has been thoroughly distributed throughout the entire mixture. The thin coating of powder that adheres to 
the seed is sufficient to produce the promised results. Package (for 214 lbs. of seed) 25c., 2-ounce jar $1.00, Ib. $5.00 
PERMANENT GRASS 
SEED MIXTURES FOR 
GOLF COURSES 
That we may serve golf clubs to better advantage 
and furnish golf mixtures that are best adapted to the 
soils and climate of New England, we have made care- 
ful study, growing tests and comparisons with other 
mixtures used here and on golf courses abroad. 
These seeds are of the highest grade, carefully tested 
for purity and germination. We are prepared to fur- 
nish at short notice these mixtures or any other mix- 
ture of golf grasses which we have in stock, made up 
especially to suit a club’s particular needs. 
No. 1—Putting Greens. Lb. 65c., 100 Ibs. $60.00. 
No. 2—Fair Greens. Light, dry soils. Lb. 40c., 
100 Ibs. $36.00. 
No. 3—Fair Greens. Low, damp soils. Lb. 35c., 
100 Ibs. $30.00. 
Brech's PLAYGROUND OR 
POLO FIELD MIXTURE 
A mixture of grasses chosen particularly for their 
ability to form a sod which will stand very hard usage 
and still prove permanent. They will make a strong, 
rapid growth and their roots will strike deep into the 
soil, thus providing a turf which will not suffer from 
rapid drying out in very dry weather. No Clover has 
been included in this mixture and the grasses prefer a 
slightly acid soil. Any area seeded with this mixture 
may be kept closely cut without damaging the stand of 
grass. We recommend sowing 100 lbs. of seed per acre. 
Lb. 40c., 10 Ibs. $3.50, 100 Ibs. $30.00 
Breck’ STANDARD 
LAWN GRASS SEED 
Not infrequently we are called upon to furnish a 
lawn grass mixture lower in price than our famous 
“Boston Park.’’ There are many locations where prop- 
erty owners do not wish to invest a considerable sum of 
money to provide a really high-grade, long-enduring 
turf. It is to meet this demand that we have blended 
Breck’s Standard Lawn Grass Seed. This mixture will 
produce a turf that will stand frequent mowing, hard 
usage, and the heat and drought of the Summer season. 
We have incorporated with the grass seed just enough 
White Clover to blend satisfactorily and furnish a lawn 
of good appearance. This mixture is prepared especial- 
ly for sunny locations and is not recommended for any 
situation that is shaded. We recommend sowing at least 
1 lb. to 250 square feet and at least 125 lbs. per acre. 
1 Ib. 45c., 5 Ibs. $2.00, 10 Ibs. $3.50, 
25 Ibs. $8.00, 100 Ibs. $30.00
