Beautiful Linen, Estate of Mrs. IF. L. Harkness, Glen Cove. N. Y. Made with The Henderson Lawn Grass Seed. 



Autumn is the Best Time to Make or Renovate a Lawn 



The "HENDERSON £awn Qrass See? 



Sown in the autumn, produces enduring turf which will withstand summer droughts 



We give full instructions for making new lawns or re-seeding old ones in our booklet, "How to Make a Lawn." 



This is enclosed in every package. 



For a long time we have recommended the fall sowing of grass seed, either for making a new lawn, or renovating the old one, and year after year 

 the successful results have shown the wisdom of following this system, which is Nature's system. 



Grass seed sown in the fall germinates rapidly, and will attain a strong growth by the time frost comes. Even with the rigorous northern winters 

 there is very little danger of its being injured by the cold weather; in fact, our advice is not to protect it in any way. 



Even before the frost is completely out of the ground, we find that the young grass responds to the first warm days. Weed seeds from the previous 

 summer will not start until weeks after the fall-sown grass has become strong and vigorous enough to withstand their more rapid growth; in fact, if it 

 has been planted thickly the grass will often crowd out the weeds. 



Any lawn will be improved by a light sowing of the appropriate 

 Henderson mixture during early September, together with an application 

 of one of the Henderson fertilizers. You will find a list of our various 

 erass mixtures for particular places on page ji and whether you are going 

 to make a new lawn, or renovate the old, we strongly urge your doina 

 so at once. 



A copy of our pamphlet, "How to Make a Lawn," is sent with every 

 package of the Henderson Lawn Grass Seed. 



In the latitude of New York, the seed may be sown up to the first of 

 October; farther south later, and farther north up to about September 

 first.
