THE HENDERSON 

 csLawn KJPU6S ^>eed 



JPC16S 



Is Used On the Most 

 Beautiful Lawns In America 



A lawn mode with THE "HENDERSON" LAWN GRASS SEED is prac- 

 tically permanent. Customers tell us that lawns made with this mixture 

 twenty or more years ago are as beautiful today as when thev were 

 first made. 



It should be borne in mind when considering the making of a lawn 

 that the cost of the seed represents only a small part of the actual 

 investment. The labor cost is usually far in excess of the cost of the 

 seed. It is therefore false economy to save a few cents by buying a 

 mixture or grass seeds obtained from a questionable source only to 

 be obliged to endure the annoyance and expense of continually re- 

 patching a weedy, irregular turf and perhaps being forced to do the 

 entire work over again in a short time. 



Henderson's celebrated Lawn Grass Seed Mixture has been thoroughly 

 tested by a country-wide use during three-quarters of a century It 

 is the fruit of years of our personal experience and study, coupled with 

 that of many of America's foremost gardeners, who steadfastly main- 

 tain and unite with us in saying that it has no superior for American 

 conditions and the American climate. The rapidity with which it will 



form a deep green, 

 velvety turf, has been 

 the delight of gar- 

 deners since its intro- 

 duction, for, under 

 ordinary conditions, 



the bare soil will be 

 clothed with an em- 

 erald carpet of living 

 green in four weeks' 

 time.

SHADY NOOK 



HENDERSON'S APPROVED FORMULA— 



THE IDEAL GRASS SEED MIXTURE 



FOR SHADED AREAS 



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 natural 

 state are to be found growing in the woods or other sheltered and 

 shaded spots. Ground that has been densely shaded by trees is fre- 

 quently "sour," and if the drainage is defective it is apt to be covered 

 with moss and coarse Grasses. In such cases an application of slaked 

 lime, at the rate of one hundred pounds to each thousand square feet, 

 or two tons to the acre, is an excellent corrective and sweetener, but 

 the moss should be first raked off. Sow seed at the rate of 1 lb. for 

 200 sq. ft.; 5 lbs. for 1,000 sq. ft. 



Price, % lb., 45c; lb., 85c; 5 lbs., S4.00; 10 lbs., $7.50; 25 lbs., 

 $18.00; 100 lbs., $70.00. 



SPECIAL "BENT FORMULA" 



It Makes Every Lawn Like a Putting Green 



A combination of the finest recleaned Grasses, using as a basis for 

 this mixture the imported and domestic Bent Grasses which are so 

 largely used in the finer Putting Greens of today. 



A lawn seeded with this mixture and properly cared for will in truth 

 make every lawn a Putting Green. On a lawn of this type, Clock Golf 

 and other lawn games may be enjoyably played. 



It is imperative in maintaining a lawn of this type that the grass 

 should be kept cut short and well rolled all through the season. Star- 

 vation of the grass plants is the most frequent cause of unsatisfactory 

 lawns, and grass needs frequent small applications of fertilizer and 

 plenty of water to maintain a perfect lawn. 



We advise seeding at the rate of one pound to cover a space of 

 10 x 20 or 200 square feet. 



Price, % lb., 70c; lb., $1.25; 5 lbs., $6.00; 10 lbs., $11.00; 25 lbs., 

 S25.00; 100 lbs., $90.00. 



TOUGH TURF 



For Tennis Courts, Croquet Grounds, Bowling Greens, etc. 



The turf required for outdoor sports must be closely interwoven firm, 

 elastic, smooth, and durable to stand the wear and tear. These re- 

 quirements are met in this mixture, which is composed of fibrous, deep- 

 rooting Grasses that spread and intermingle. The seeds are blended 

 in the proper proportions to form and maintain a tough matted sward, 

 constantly green, even in dry weather. These varieties of Grasses, being 

 low-growing and fine-leaved, require to be sown liberally if a playing 

 turf is desired quickly; not less than one pound should be used for 

 200 square feet, or 100 to 150 lbs. per acre, although 50 per cent 

 more may be used with advantage. Half that quantity will do for 

 renovating. This mixture has been used with great success at the 

 Rumson Polo Fields, also at the Forest Hills Tennis Courts, the great 

 sport centers for Tennis, and numerous other playing fields.
