MERE is nothing more charming than a well-designed house surrounded by artistically treated grounds; and 
of the essential features of home grounds none is so important as a beautiful lawn—the rich, velvety green 
turf of the smooth, well-kept lawn being the heart and life of all. : 
A perfect and enduring lawn, one of luxuriant richness, with closely interwoven, firm, deep and elastic turf, 
WMG is only created by sowing a combination of various and suitable grasses. : Several varieties are needed, that the 
lawn may be yerdure-clad during all seasons, and the seeds must be sown liberally, not only that a lawn may 
be produced quickly, but because the kinds of grasses suitable for perfect lawns are fine-leaved and should take entire 
possession of the ground promptly, thus checking the development of weeds, the seeds of which are in all soils. The coarse 
pasture and clump-forming grasses will not produce a fine lawn. : 
We have made the formation of lawns a study for years, and thousands of the finest lawns and grass plots in America 
were obtained by following our instructions and using The ‘“‘Henderson’’ Lawn Grass Seed, with which a perfect and 
permanent lawn may be established and ready for cutting in a few weeks’ time. This celebrated Lawn Grass is composed 
of a thoroughly balanced combination of various native and foreign, fine-leaved, deep-rooting grasses of interweaving habit, 
that flourish under our varied conditions, soils and climates, growing during different-seasons of the year, so that a 
deep green, smooth and velvety sward, free from clumps, is maintained from snow to snow, without burning brown in 
summer, its constant luxuriance rivalling the famous lawns of Old England. 
The Beautiful Lawns at the Pan-American Exposition, Buffalo, and also at the World’s Fair in Chicago, were pro- 
duced in six weeks’ time with The ‘‘Henderson’’ Lawn Grass Seed, which was awarded the highest medal at both 
Expositions ; but what we prize more than gold medals are the hundreds of letters of praise we have on file from the users 
of The “‘Henderson’”’ Lawn Grass Seed in almost every State in the Union. 
The ‘“‘Henderson’”’ Lawn Grass Seed is, relatively speaking, the cheapest seed offered, because, while other lawn 
grass mixtures on the market will not average over 14 lbs. to the bushel, this weighs 20 lbs. per measured oushel. It is 
also the Purest, Cleanest and Heaviest lawn grass seed ever offered. 
Full instructions of ‘HOW TO MAKE A LAWN” are enclosed in every pacKage. 
If people only knew how easy it is to make a lawn with The ‘‘Henderson'' Lawn Grass Seed, the days of using sod would soon be over.
