PARKER YARDGROOM 
LAWN SWEEPER 
Will do four hours work in one hour. 
The Parker Yardgroom Lawn Sweeper op- 
erates with a soft, easy, whirling movement 
that gently lifts leaves, freshly cut or dried 
grass, sticks, stones and paper from lawns. 
The Parker Yardgroom Lawn Sweeper is 
especially designed for the smaller homes and 
estates and is recommended for the mainte- 
nance of well-kept lawns with a minimum of 
time and labor. Lawn sweeping controls the 
spread of obnoxious weeds. Crab grass, dande- 
lion, buckhorn and countless other foreign 
growths are swept up and collected thereby 
eliminating: the growth of annual weeds and 
controlling the spread of others.

ABEL'S QUALITY LAWN SEED 
Abel's Evergreen Lawn Grass Seed is 
being used on the finest lawns in

“Put Your Lawns in Our Hands" 
ABEL'S EVERGREEN LAWN 
GRASS WITH CLOVER 
This formula, after years of experimenting, 
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 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 satis- 
factory growth of grass under trees and in 
shady places, and for sowing in such place, 
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 par- 
tially shaded by old trees.
