THE HENDEKSON LAWN GRASS SEED 



SOWN IN THE FALL PRODUCES ENDURING TUKF 

 THAT WILL WITHSTAND SUMMEK DROUGHTS 



The Fall Season is Especially Favorable to the Germination and Growth of Lawn Grass Seed 

 and the Most Beautiful Lawns in America are made by sowing at this time the 



"HENDERSON LAWN GKASS SEED" 



At this season the seeds have the benefit of thoroughly warmed 

 ground and a copious rainfall, which hasten germination and enable 

 the young grasses to become firmly established before winter sets in. 

 Then, on the opening of spring, the grasses immediately recommence 

 their growth, take full possession of the ground, and prevent weeds 

 from obtaining a foothold. A lawn grown in this way will endure 

 summer drought much better than a spring-sown lawn. 



The "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed has been thoroughly tested 

 by country-wide use, for more than half a century. 



It is the fruit of years of experience and close study of American 

 conditions, and is undoubtedly the best for the American climate. It 

 is composed of fine-leaved, dwarf, evergreen grasses, which produce 

 a closely interwoven, firm, deep and elastic turf, that will maintain 

 from year to year a covering of enduring green. Such results can only 

 be obtained by sowing a combination of grasses, which arrive at their 

 best during different months of the year, so that the lawn is perpetually 

 covered with verdure. It is impossible to make a good lawn by 



sowing seeds of a single variety such as Kentucky Blue Grass for 

 example, which grows very sparsely in midsummer. Only by sowing 

 an intelligently arranged combination of grasses, can a permanent 

 green sward be maintained. 



The "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed is in reality as cheap as any 

 other, notwithstanding its superior quality. For while many mixtures 

 on the market weigh only 14 lbs. to the bushel, the "Henderson" 

 Lawn Grass Seed weighs 20 lbs. per measured bushel, being entirely 

 free from chaff and other foreign matter. 



The quantity required for new lawns is 5 bushels per acre. For 

 a plot 15x20, or 300 square feet, use 1 quart. For renovating old 

 lawns, use one-fourth to one-half of above quantities.
