In 4 to 6 Weeks Time it Produces a Perfect and 

 Permanent Lawn of Luxuriant Richness 



Its composition of various native and foreign fine leaved, inter- 

 weaving, deep-rooting grasses, that flourish under our varied 

 conditions of soil and climate, insure a smooth, velvety sward, 

 free from clumps. Its deep green color is maintained from snow 

 to snow, year after year. 



We have made the formation and renovation of lawns a study 

 for years, and thousands of the finest lawns and grass plots in 

 America were obtained by following our instructions and using 



The "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed

 Roosevelt (here shown), was made with it.

For Dark, Shady Places 



While we grow manyjthousands of the hardy 

 garden flowers which require open sunlight 

 for their growth, like Phloxes, Campanulas, 

 Peonies, Digitalis, etc., there is a demand for 

 something to grow in dark shady places where 

 the hardy garden plants will not thrive. We 

 find just such a class of plants in the 



Hardy Wild Fcrns and Flowers 



of New England. These we have been study- 

 ing and growing for 25 years, and can help you 

 in your selections. They are adapted for a 

 great many places, and selections can be made 

 for beautifying the dark comer by the porch, 

 the shaded wall or hedge, shady hillsides, wet 

 places in deep shade, dry woods and rocky 

 places. Brilliant lobelias for planting in small 

 brooks; dainty gentians for planting by brook- 

 side. Before purchasing send for my illustrated 

 descriptive catalogue of over 50 pages, which 

 tells about this class of plants and
