PETER HENDERSON & CO.-THE LAWN. 



fll 1AWH 



A PERFECT LAWN is not only a most essential adjunct to rural or suburban residences, but, when thoroughly made, no 

 other single feature of the country home is so satisfactory or pleasing. By sowing our Lawn Seed Mixtures a perfect 

 Lawn can now be so quickly and cheaply obtained, that it is no wonder that thousands every season will "make a Lawn" 

 about their houses, when, perhaps, they will not tronble with the greater care of a green-house or garden. 



VIEW OF A LAWN PRODUCED BY SOWING IHE " HENDERSON LAWN GRASS SEES, 



«THE." HENDERSON "-LAWN GRASS- SEED i* 



Is a new mixture of Grasses for Lawns, and the successful result of two years' experimenting in seeking to make such a 

 combination of American Grasses as will under favorable conditions produce in a short time a Perfect Lawn. We say 

 American Grasses, because under the name of French and English Lawn Seed are offered va' ieties of Grasses that, while 

 suitable enough for those countries, in our climate are worthless. By the proper blending of varieties we have in the 

 "Henderson" Lawn Seed something that from early spring until late fall will give to Lawns made with it that deep 

 rich green effect so much admired in English Lawns, but which, except in a few favored localities, .is so seldom seen 

 in this country. Owing to the number of varieties entering into this mixture, and the fact that only the very purest grass 

 seeds that can be obtained are used, it cannot be sold quite as low as our old and popular "Central Park" Lawn 

 Mixture, on which, however, we have no hesitation in saying it is a dec ded improvement. 



In the latitude of New York, the seed may be sown any time during the months of April and May, and will 

 form a good lawn bv August if the preparation has been good. If sown in the hot months of June or July, a sprinkling 

 of oats should be sown at the same time, so that the shade given by the oats will protect the young grass from the 

 sun. Lawns are very often sown during the earlv fall months (September being the best) with excellent results. 



"We are often asked for information on THE FORMATION AND RENOVATION OP LAWNS, and to 

 answer such inquiries have prepared an essay on the subject, which will be sent free to purchasers of Lawn Grass 

 Seed, whether the orders be large or small. To all others on receipt of ten cents. ■ 



As a gnide for the proper quantity to order, we may state that one quart of the "Henderson" Lawn Grass 

 is sufficient to thoroughly sow an area of 20 feet by 15 feet=3Q0 square feet, or to cover an acre five bushels will be 

 required. It should be borne in mind that in order to produce the best results, grass seed for lawns should be sown 

 at least twice as thickly as if sown for hay. 



PRICE : Tne "Henderson" Lawn Grass, 25c. per qt., $1.75 per peck, $5.50 per bushel. 



(If by mail, add 10c. to quart price.) 



I find no cabbage seed equal to yours, especially your Selected Early Jersey Wakefield.
