FOR SPECIAL SITUATIONS. 
Terraces and Embankments, Shady Situations, 
Golf Links, Hot, Dry Sections. 
Toe Special Mixtures here offered have been prepared with a view to over- 
coming difficulties that have hitherto existed in getting grass to grow on 
steep slopes, in the shade, etc., where the grasses ordinarily used would 
not succeed. 
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. 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. In such eases an application of lime, land 
plaster or wood ashes is an excellent corrective and sweetener, but the moss should 
be first removed by the use of a sharp rake. 
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 or 
natural state are to be found growing in the 
woods or other sheltered and shaded spots. 
Price, 35c. qt., $2.00 pk., $7.00 bush.

SPECIAL MIXTURES. 
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 cor- 
respondence on the subject, 
and are always glad to ad- 
vise, so far as lies in our 
power, how to secure the 
desired results and the best 
methods of overcoming 
weeds and coarse grasses in 
lawns. 
Our pamphlet, ‘“‘How To 
Make a Lawn,”’ is enclosed 
in every package, or sent free 
to applicants. 
HENDERSON’S 
“SUNNY SOUTH” 
LAWN GRASS. 
Is especially prepared 
for the South or for very 
dry sections, and contains 
all the best grasses that 
are by nature adapted for 
hot, dry situations. In the 
Southern States Bermuda 
grass is frequently used, 
but it remains green only 
in the summer months, 
turning brown in winter, 
while most of the Nor- 
thern grasses perish in 
the heats and droughts of summer. 
By using this mixture, and with some care and attention, 
an all-the-year-round lawn can be maintained. 
Price, 35c. qt., $2.00 pk., $7.00 bush. 
(If by mail, add at the rate of 5c. 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 produce a 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 pk., $7.00 bush, 
(if by mail, add at the rate of 5c. per gt. for postage.) 
HENDERSON’S “GOLF LINK” GRASS SEED. 
The bracing game of Golf has now become so deservedly popular here 
that many inquiries have reached us lately for a mixture of grasses that 
will produce a sward equal to those of the ‘‘GouFr Links” of Scotland. 
Last summer one of our representatives visited some of these Scotch 
Links, and after minutely examining them found that the close-cut sod 
of the Scotch ‘“‘ putting greens” can be duplicated here by using certain 
grasses adapted by nature to grow on light soils and sandy situations. 
While the outlying portions of the ‘‘ Links” can be seeded with less 
expensive grasses, the ‘‘putting greens” for about twenty yards 
around the ‘“‘holes”’ must be sown with the very finest grasses. 
For Putting Greens we can supply a special mixture of grasses. 
Price, 30c. qt., $1.75 pk., $6.00 bush. 
(ff by mail, add at the rate of 5c. per qt. for postage.) 
For the Outlying Grounds or Links proper we can supply a 
suitable mixture of grasses. 
Price, $2.50 bush.; 20 bushels and upward, $2.25 bush.
