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—tThis formula, after 
years of experimenting, has been blended carefully of 
grasses adapted to producing very thick growth and vel- 
vety 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 making 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 rdins. 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., 60c; 
5 Ibs., $2.75; 20 Ibs., $10.00; 100 Ibs., $50.00.
