It roots deeply and withstands severe droughts without turning brown, maintaining its beautiful deep 
green color throughout the season. We have made the formation of permanent lawns a study for years, 
and the Finest Lawns in this Country To-day were obtained by using The ‘‘ Henderson ” 
Lawn Grass Seed, which is composed of various grasses that grow and flourish during different 
months of the year, sothatarich, deep green, velvety lawn is constantly maintained, rivaling the 
famous lawns of Old England. 
If people only knew how comparatively easy it is to make a lawn with the ‘‘ Henderson’’ Lawn Grass 
Seed, the days of using Sod, with all the attendant expense, would soon be over. 
The beautiful Lawns at the World’s Fair in Chicago we produced in six week’s time with 
the ‘Henderson ” Lawn Grass Seed. Not one of the charming features of the Exposition was so 
universally admired as our “‘setting of emerald velvet,’ which notwithstanding the long continued 
drought of the summer, 7efained its verdure throughout the entire season Besides being the only lawn C 
grass seed granted a medal, we exhibited the separate grasses used in the mixture and received Seven 
Awards for superior quality and purity of samples.
