 SOD 



■>* MIXTURE 



Weighs from 20 to 21 lbs, per measured bnsh el. 

 Other Lawn Miartnres do not average over 14 lbs, to the bushel. 

 The Purest, Cleanest and Heaviest Lawn Grass Seed Ever Offered. 



THAT the "Henderson" is the finest mixture of Lawn Grass Seed ever 

 offered the immense quantity we annually sell is the best proof we can 

 offer. It is the best lawn seed for our American climate, and is composed 

 of various grasses that grow and flourish daring different months of the year, so 

 that a rich, deep green, velvety lawn is constantly maintained. The 

 Henderson Lawn Seed is the result of several years' careful experimenting, 

 and as we now offer it the "mixture is uneqnaled. It may not also be generally 

 known that it is, relatively speaking, the cheapest seed offered, because while 

 the lawn grass mixtures of other seedsmen will not average over 14 lbs. to the 

 bushel, the Henderson Lawn Seed will weigh from 20 U 21 lis. per measured 

 bushel. The quantity required for making new lawns is 5 bushels per acre, or 

 for renovating old lawns 1 to 2 bushels. For a plot 15x20 or 300 square feet, 

 1 quart is required for new, or 1 pint for renovation. 



Price, 25 cts. per qt; $ 1.50 per peck; $5.00 per bushel. (If by mail, add 

 at the rate of 5 cts. per quart for postage.) 



Our Lawn Grass Seeds Sown in the Autumn , will produce a fine luxuriant Lawn Early the following season. 

 4^ THE HiroiBSOT L1WI EMMOT1B.* 



A clean, portable and convenient lawn dressing, for New or Old Lawns, which we have found to be never 

 failing in inducing a rapid and rich green growth. It should be sown broadcast in the spring or fall, though it can 

 be put on during the summer without injury or danger of burning the grass, and a remarkable improvement will 

 soon be observed. The quantity required per acre varies according to the condition of the Lawn from 1,000 to 

 1,500 lbs.; for a plot 15x20 feet or 300 square feet a 10-lb. package will be sufficient. 



Price, 5-lb. package, 30 cts. ; 10-lb. package, 50 cts.; 25-lb. bag, $1.00; 50-lb. bag, $2.00; 100-lb. bag, $4 .eo; 

 per ton of 2,000 lbs., $70 00. 



For many years, at the solicitations of cus- 

 tomers, we have at various times made up 

 special mixtures of grasses of varieties best 

 suited for sowing on terraces, railroad embank- 

 ments and side hills. For this purpose it is 

 necessary to use grasses that will withstand 

 drought andexposure and thrive well on shallow 

 soils. Our experiments in this direction have 

 resulted in our obtaining a combination of grasses 

 which, for the purpose will be found unequaled 

 — grasses that produce strong, spreading roots, 

 thus preventing heavy rains from washing them 

 out after they become established, and at the 

 same time produce a rich velvety green turf 

 throughout the season. 



Sow at the rate cf 1 qt. for a plot 15x20 ft. 

 (equal to 300 sq. ft.) or 4 to 5 bushels per acre. 



Price, 35 cts. perqt., $2.00 per peck.; $7.00 

 per bush. ; if desired by mail, add at the rate of 

 5 cts. per qt. for postage.
