The lawns at the Alaska-Yukon = Pacific Exposition were made with " Dreer Lawn Grass," and we were awarded a Gold Medal for same. Many other prizes have been awarded us for Grass Seeds, including a Gold Medal by the Pan=Anierican Exposition, held at Buffalo, N. Y. THE "DREER" LA^WN GRASS This is by far the best mixture of grasses offered for the pur- pose of quickly producing a permanent lawn. It is prepared from our own formula, and is a careful blending of varieties adapted to producing the thick growth and velvety appearance so much sought after. Each variety of grass in its composition is there for a special purpose; some for making strong fibrous roots, which take hold upon the soil and keep the turf in place, others of a creeping nature quickly fill up any bare spots which may be caused by the taller sorts dying down; varieties which are useful for their color value, and also kinds that are able to withstand the beating down of excessive rains. Whether you want to seed a small grass plot in your yard, or a lawn of more pretentious size, you should use this grass mix- ture. For the convenience of customers, we put this seed up in various-sized packages, from the single quart, which is sufficient to cover 2')0 square feet of ground, to such quantities as are re- quired for seeding large lawns, where from five to six bushels of seed to the acre are required. Per qt., 35 cts., postpaid. By
