'The Henderson 



TERRACE 



-Nc MIXTURE. 



For many years, at the solicitations of cus- 

 tomers, we have at various times made up 

 special mixtures of grasses of varieties best 

 suited for sowing on terraces, railroad em- 

 bankments and side hills. For this purpose 

 it is necessary to use grasses that will with- 

 stand drought and exposure and thrive well 

 on shallow soils. Our experiments in this 

 direction have resulted in our obtaining a 

 combination of grasses which, for the pur- 

 pose, will be found unequaled — grasses that 

 produce strong, spreading roots, thus pre- 

 venting heavy rains from washing them out 

 after they become established, and at the 

 same time produce a rich velvety green turf 

 throughout the season. 



Sow at the rate of 1 qt. for a plot 15x20 ft. 



(equal to 300 sq. ft.) or 4 to 5 bushels per acre. 



PRICE: 35 cts. per qt. ; $2.00 per pk. ; $7.00 



per bush. ; if desired by mail, add at the 



rate of 5 cts. per qt. for postage. 



Weighs from 20 to 21 lbs. per measured bushel. 

 Other Lawn Mixtures do not average over 14 lbs. to the busbeL 



The Purest, Cleanest and Heaviest Lawn Grass Seed Ever Offered ! 



HAT the " Henderson" is the finest mixture of Lawn Grass Seed ever offered, the 

 immense quantity we annually sell is the best proof we can offer. It is the best 

 lawn seed for our American climate, and is composed of various grasses that grow 

 and flourish during different months of the year, so that a rich, deep green, velvety lawn 

 is constantly maintained. The Henderson Lawn Seed is the result of several years' 

 careful experimenting, and as we now offer it the mixture is unequaled. It may not also 

 be generally known that it is, relatively speaking, the cheapest seed offered, because while 

 the lawn grass mixtures of other seedsmen will not average over 14 lbs. to the bushel, the 

 Henderson Lawn Seed will weigh from 20 to 21 lbs. per measured bushel. The quantity 

 z-equired for making new lawns is 5 bushels per acre, or for renovating old lawns 1 to 2 

 bushels. For a plot 15x20 or 300 square feet, 1 quart is required for new, or 1 pint for 

 renovation. 



PRICE : 25 cts. per quart ; $1.50 per peck ; $5.00 per bushel. (If by mail, add at the. 

 rate of 5 cts. per quart for postage.) 



m THE • HENDERSON • LAWN • ENRICHER. i* 



A clean, portable and convenient lawn dressing, for New or Old Lawns, which we have found to be never failing 

 in inducing a rapid and rich green growth. It should be sown broadcast in the spring or fall, though it can be put on 

 during the summer without injury or danger of burning the grass, and a remarkable improvement will soon be observed. 

 The quantity required per acre varies according to the condition of the lawn from 1,000 to 1,500 lbs. ; for a plot 15x20 

 feet or 300 square feet a 10-lb. package will be sufficient. 



Price : 5-lb. package, 30 cts. ; 10-lb. package, 50 cts. ; 25-lb. bag, $1.00 ; 50-lb. bag, $2.00 ; 100-lb. bag, $4.00 ; per ton of 

 2,000 lbs., $70.00.
