Green lawns spur envy
in Rhode Island neighborhood

"Dear Greenview:

I just love your products. In fact, they saved my new lawn during the especially hot summer we endured in the Northeast.

My father and I now both subscribe to Greenview and value the quality and convenience that your company offers. Our lawns are the envy of our neighbors, but I cannot keep your products secret. My neighbor asked what I am doing and I told him that I stopped using Scotts’ products and switched over to Greenview Fairway Formula products. He plans to subscribe for Spring 2007. Thank you, Greenview!"
