HENDERSON'S FARMERS MANUAL 



THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LAWNS IN AMERICA / 



ARE MADE WITH 



THE "HENDERSON" LAWN GRASS SEED 



«, 



THE "HENDERSON" LAWN GRASS SEED is an intelligently arranged combination of fine- 

 leaved, dwarf Grasses which are at their best during different months of the year, thus keeping a 

 lawn constantly covered with enduring green. It is impossible to make an enduring lawn by sowing 

 seed of a single variety, which will only grow vigorously for a portion of the year. Kentucky Blue 

 Grass for instance, which is sometimes recommended for lawns, grows but sparsely during mid- 

 summer, is slow to form a close sward, requiring two years to do that, and loses color in hot weather. 

 Besides its country-wide use on the home grounds of the people, the "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed has in- 

 variably been chosen to produce lawns at many famous institutions in the country. It has been used for a 

 number of years with excellent results, on the Parade Grounds at the United States Military Academy at West 

 Point, N. Y. The refreshing green and the close turf which attract the attention of the hundreds of thousands 

 who annually visit the baseball grounds in this country, particularly the Polo Grounds in New York and Ebbets 

 Field in Brooklyn, were produced with the "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed. At the various International Exposi- 

 tions held in the United States — notably the Centennial at Philadelphia, the Columbian at Chicago, the Pan-Ameri- 

 can at Buffalo, the Louisiana Purchase at St. Louis, the Lewis & Clark at Portland, and the Jamestown at Norfolk 

 — gold medals were awarded to lawns made with the "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed. 



THE "HENDERSON" LAWN GRASS SEED is sold 20 lbs. per bushel, being practically free from chaff and other 

 foreign matter. 



The quantity required for new lawns is 5 to 6 bushels per acre. For a plot 15 x IB, or 225 square feet, use 1 quart. 

 For renovating old lawns, use one-half of above quantities. Full instructions for sowing in every bag and package.
