"Put Your Lawns in Our Hands” 
ABEL'S EVERGREEN LAWN GRASS 
WITH CLOVER 
This formula, after years of experimenting, has been blended care- 
fully 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 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 rains. 
One pound will usually seed a place of 10 by 10 feet; one peck a 
space of 1,000 square feet; one 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 rec- 
ommend 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 green- 
sward was desired on land partially shaded by old trees. 
ABEL'S TERRACE MIXTURE LAWN GRASS 
A special mixture of grasses for sowing on terraces and side hills— 
grasses that produce strong, spreading roots, thus preventing heavy 
rains from washing them out, that will withstand drought and expo- 
sure, thrive on shallow soils, and produce a rich, green turf through- 
out the season.

ABEL'S PENNS COMMON OR CITY 
PARK LAWN GRASS

lawn. It germinates quickly and roots deeply, enabling it to withstand 
the intense heat of summer. This special mixture can be recommended 
very highly. However, the formula and purity test does not equal that 
of our Evergreen Lawn Grass.

all competition in the lower priced group of lawn mixtures. It is
