38 PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.—LAWN GRASS SEED.—WHOLESALE. 
HENDERSON'S LAWN GRASS JITIXTURES 
FOR SPECIAL SITUATIONS. i 
Terraces and Embankments, Shady Situations, 
Golf Links, Hot, Dry Sections. . ... . 
HE Special Mixtures here offered have been prepared with a view to overcoming 
difficulties that have hitherto existed in getting grass to grow on steep slopes, 
in the shade, etc., where the grasses ordinarily used would not succeed. 
The grasses we use in these mixtures are peculiarly adapted for the purpose, and 
will thrive in the situations and under the conditions for which they have been 
prepared, but the more effectually to overcome the difficulties, the ground should 
be thoroughly prepared and a rapid growth of the grasses encouraged by a 
liberal use of fertilizer or wedl-rotted stable manure. Ground that has been denseiy 
shaded by trees is frequently ‘‘sour,” and if the drainage is defective it is apt 
to be covered with moss. In such cases an application of lime, land plaster or wood 
ashes is an excellent corrective and sweetener, but the moss should be first removed 
by the use of a sharp rake. 
‘HENDERSON'S 
“Shady Nook” Lawn Grass. 
On nearly all lawns there are unsightly bare 
spots under the shade of trees, which have 
baffled all efforts to get into grass, but with this 
mixture there need be no further difficulty. 
It is a combination of fine, dwarf-growing, 
evergreen varieties, which in their wild or nat- 
ural state are to be found growing in the woods 
or other sheltered and shaded spots. 
Price, $5.00 per bush. 
special Jilixtures. 
Besides the Lawn Mixtures offered 
on this page, we shall at all times 
be pleased to make up mixturcs 
for special requirements and 
situations. 
We have made grasses a spec- 
ial study, and invite correspon- 
dence on the subject and are 
always glad to advise, so far 
as lies in our power, how to 
secure the desired results and 
the best methods of overcom- 
ing weeds and coarse grasses 
in lawns. 
Our pamphlet, ‘‘How To 
Make a Lawn,” is enclosed 
m every package, or sent free 
to applicants. 
HENDERSON'S 
“Sunny South” 
LAWN GRASS. 
Is_ especially prepared 
for the South or for very 
dry sections, and contains 
all the best grasses that are 
by nature adapted for hot, 
dry situations. In the 
Southern States Bermuda- 
grass is frequently used, 
but if remains green onlv 
in the summer months, 
turning brown in winter, 
while most of the Northern grasses perish in the heats and 
droughts of summer. 
By using this mixture, and with some care and attention, 
an all-the-year-round lawn can be maintained. 
Price, $5.00 per bush. 
HENDERSON'S 
“Terrace sod” Lawn Gass. 
A special mixture of grasses best suited for sowing on 
terraces, railroad embankments and side hills—grasses that 
produce strong, spreading roots, thus preventing heavy rains 
from washing them out; that will withstand drought and 
exposure thrive on shallow soils, and at the same time produce 
a rich, velvety green turf throughout the season. There need 
be no fear of introducing coarse grasses into your lawn by sow- 
ing this mixture, for, though stroug-rooted, the grasses are equally 
as fine as those used in the ‘“‘ Henderson” mixture. Price, $5.00 bush. 
Henderson’s (olf “Link” Grass Seed. 
The bracing game of Golf has now become so deservedly popular here 
that many inquiries have reached us lately for a mixture of grasses that will 
produce a sward equal to those of the ‘‘ GoLr Links” of Scotland. 
Last summer one of our representatives visited some of these Scotch 
Links, and after minutely examining them found that the close-cut sod of 
the Scotch ‘‘putting greens” can be duplicated here by using certain grasses 
adapted by nature to grow on light soils and sandy situations. 
While the outlying portions of the ‘‘ Links” can be seeded with Jess 
expensive grasses, the ‘‘putting greens” for about twenty yards around 
the ‘‘holes” must be sown with the very finest grasses. 
For Putting Greens we can supply a special mixture of grasses. Price. 
$4.50 per bush. : 
For the Outlying Grounds or Links proper we can supply a suitable 
mixture of grasses. $2.10 bush.; 20 bushels and upward, $2.00 bush.
