ABEL’S EVERGREEN LAWN 
GRASS 
This formula, after years of experi- 
menting, has been blended carefully of 
grasses adapted to producing very thick 
growth and velvety appearance. Our 
grass seed is tested for purity and ger- 
mination and each variety of grass in 
its composition is here for a special pur- 
pose—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 withstand- 
ing beating down by excessive 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. 
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 de- 
sired on land partially shaded by old 
trees. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS
