HENDERSON'S LAWN MIXTURES 
& SITUATIONS. 
Terraces and Embankments, Shady Situations, Golf Links, Hot, Dry Sections. 
lee SPECIAL MIXTURES here offered have been prepared with a view to overcoming difficulties that have hitherto existed in getting grass to grow onsteep 
slopes, in the shade, etc., where the grasses ordinarily used would not succeed. 
Besides the Lawn Mixtures offered on this page, we shall at all times be 
pleased to make up mixtures for special requirements and situations. We have made grasses a special study, and invite correspondence on the subject, and 
are always glad to advise,so far as lies in our power, how tosecure the desired results and the best methods of overcoming weeds and coarse grasses inlawns. 
The grasses we use in these mixtures are peculiarly adapted for the purpose, and will thrive in the situations and under the conditions for which they have 
been prepared, but the more effectually to overcome the difficulties, the ground should be thoroughly prepared and a rapid growth of the grasses encouraged by a 
liberal use of fertilizer or well-rotted stable manure. 
Note the emphasis we give to the fact that the manure must be wel/-rotted. Ifit is not well-rotted, you are 
more likely to have a crop of weeds and coarse grasses than a fine lawn. Every year we hear of hundreds of good lawns ruined by top-dressing with green manure. 
If you cannot get it at least a year old and thoroughly well-rotted, you are saier to use Our Lawn Enricher, Bone or other commercial fertilizer. 
HENDERSON'S “SHADY NOOK” LAWN GRASS. 
On nearly all lawns there are unsightly bare spots under the 
shade of trees, which have baffled all efforts to get into grass, but 
with this mixture there need be no further difficulty. 
It is a combination of fine, dwarf-growing, evergreen varieties, 
which in their wild ornatural state are to be found growing in the 
woods or other sheltered and shaded spots. Ground that has been 
densely shaded by trees is frequently ‘‘sour,” and if the drainage 
is defective it is apt to be covered with moss and coarse bog grasses. 
In such eases an application of slaked lime, at the rate of one 
bushel to each thousand square feet or forty bushels to the acre, 
is an excellent corrective and sweetener, but the moss should be 
first removed by the use of a sharp rake. 
Price, 35c. qt., $2.00 pk., $7.00 bush. of 20 lbs. 
(If by mail, add at the rate of 5e. per qt. for postage.) 
HENDERSON'S “TERRACE SOD” LAWN GRASS. 
A special mixture of grasses best suited for sowing on terraces, 
railroad embankments and side hills—grasses that produce strong, 
spreading roots, thus preventing heavy rains from washing them out; 
that will withstand drought and exposure, thrive on shallow soils, 
and at the same time producea rich, velvety green turf throughout 
the season. There need be no fear of introducing coarse grasses 
into your lawn by sowing this mixture, for, though strong-rooted,, 
the grasses are equally as fine as those used in the “‘ Henderson ” 
mixture. Price, 35c. qt., $2.00 pkx., $7.00 bush. of 20 lbs. 
(If by mail, add at the rate of 5c. per qt. for postage.) 
HENDERSON'S “GOLF LINK” GRASS SEED. 
We have given much attention to grasses for Golf Links, and the 
best Links in the United States and Canada to-day show our success. 
When Golf first became popular, one of our representatives 
visited several of the famous Scotch Links and found that most of 
the grasses which formed these Links can be grown here. , The 
Mixtures we offer below are largely composed of such varieties as 
will thrive here, with the addition of several equally fine American 
varieties, and are the result of experiments conducted on our 
grounds, as well as careful watching for several years of the prac- 
tical results obtained on Golf Links sown with our grass seeds, as 
at the St. Andrews, Yonkers, N. Y. (as illustrated above), and other 
well-known Links in the United States. By the use of these Mix- 
tures, and with proper care and attention, the, finest Golf Links 
and Putting Greens in the world can be successfully rivaled. 
GRASS MIXTURE FOR ‘PUTTING GREENS.”—Price, 
30c. qt., $1.75 pk., $6.00 bush. of 20 lbs. 
GRASS MIXTURE FOR OUTLYING GROUNDS OR 
“FAIR GREENS.’—Price, $2.50 bush. of 14 lbs. 
HENDERSON’S “SUNNY SOUTH” LAWN GRASS. 
Is especially prepared for the South, and contains all the best 
grasses that are by nature adapted for hot, dry situations. In the 
South Bermuda grassis frequently used, but it remains green only 
in the summer months, turning brown in winter. 
By using this mixture, and with some care and attention, an all- 
the-year-round lawn can be maintained in the Southern States.
