The Most Beautiful Lawns in America 



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 hav6 the benefit of a thoroughly warmed ground and a copious rainfall, which hastens germina- 

 tion and enables the grass to become firmly established before winter sets in. 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 vigor- 

 ously for a portion of the year. Kentucky Blue Grass for instance, while useful in lawn mixtures, 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 enduring green. 



The quantity required for new lawns is 5 to 6 bushels per acre. For a 

 plot 15 X 15, 225 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.
