~10 -PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK—LAWN GRASS SEEDS. 
The Most Beautiful Lawns (“6854 | 
‘ . | s | with success + 
In America up to - 20th of June 
Are made with the HENDERSON LAWN GRASS SEED. This celebrated mixture 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. By its use a deep green, velvety sward, free from clumps, can be produced in from four to 
six weeks’ time. ; 
THE FALL SEASON IS ESPECIALLY FAVORABLE TO THE GROWTH OF YOUNG Grass, for at that 
season the seeds have the benefit of a thoroughly warmed ground and a copious rainfall, which — 
hastens germination and enables the grass to become firmly established before winter setsin. Then, | 
on the opening of spring, the grass immediately recommences its growth and taking full possession | 
of the ground, prevents 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 is an intelligently arranged combination of grasses, 
which are at their best during different months of the year, thus keeping a lawn constantly covered | 
with verdure. It is impossible to make an enduring lawn by sowing seeds 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 midsummer, is slow to form a close sward, requiring 
‘two years to do that, and loses color in hot weather. 
THE HENDERSON LAWN GRASS SEED is composed of fine- 
leaved, dwarf grasses, which produce a closely interwoven 
turf that maintains from year to year a covering of en- 
during green. 
The quantity required for new lawns is 5 bushels per 
acre. Fora plot 15 x 20, 300 square feet, use 1 quart. 
For renovating old lawns, use one fourth to one-half of 
above quantities. Full instructions in every bag and package.
