HENDERSON'S SPECIAL MIXTURES OF LAWN GRASS SEED 
SHADY NOOK 
The Ideal mixture for shaded areas 
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. 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 Grasses. 
In such cases an application of slaked lime, at the rate of one hun- 
dred pounds to each thousand square feet, or two tons to the acre, 
is an excellent corrective and sweetener, but the moss should be first 
raked off (See illustration )

“SPECIAL BENT FORMULA” 
it makes every lawn like a putting green 
It is imperative in maintaining a lawn of this type, that the grass 
should be kept cut short and well rolled all through the season. 
Starvation of the grass plants is the most frequent cause of unsatis- 
factory lawns, and grass needs constant small applications of fer- 
tilizer and plenty of water to maintain a perfect lawn. 
We advise seeding at the rate of one pound to cover a space of 
10x20 or 200 square feet. Price, 4% lb., 50c; Ib., 95¢; 5 lbs., $4.50

SEASIDE 
Our ‘‘Seaside’’ mixture will make a good turt ot green on sand where 
the finer Grasses are not so likely to thrive, though, of course, the sand 
must be top-dressed with not less than 2 inches of soil before even our 
Seaside’ Grass Seed is sown, to enable the young Grass to get a start 
after which the long roots—peculiar to the varieties we use in this mix- 
ture—drive down deeply in the sand and remain permanently selt- 
sustaining, if attention is given to sprinkling during dry weather.

TERRACE SOD 
A special mixture of Grasses best suited for sowing on terraces, em- 
bankments and hillsides. These are varieties that produce long, strong, 
spreading roots, preventing heavy rains trom washing them out and 
that will withstand drought, thrive on shallow soils, and at the same time 
produce a rich. velvety-green turf throughout the season.

TOUGH TURF 
For Tennis Courts, Croquet Grounds, Bowling Greens, etc. 
Several varieties are blended in the proper proportions to form and 
maintain a tough matted sward, constantly green, even in dry weather. 
These varieties of Grasses, being low-growing and fine-leaved, require 
to be sown liberally 1f a playing turf is desired quickly: not less than 1 
pound should be used for 200 square feet, or 150 Ibs. per acre, although 
50 per cent more may be used with advantage. Half that quantity will 
do for renovating.

SUNNY SOUTH 
It 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 Grass is frequently used, but it remains green only 
in the summer months, turning brown in winter; but by using Sunny 
South, and with care and attention to watering, an all-the-year-round 
lawn can be maintained in Southern States where Grasses do not usually 
thrive
