Autumn Is the Best Time to Make or Renovate a Lawn 



The "HENDERSON" Lawn Grass Seed 



Sown in the Autumn, produces Enduring Turf which will withstand Summer Droughts 



For a long time we have urged the Fall planting of grass seed, for either making a new lawn, or renovating 

 the old one, and year after year the results have shown the wisdom of following the natural way. 



Grass seed planted in the Fall, germinates rapidly, and will attain a strong growth by the time frost comes. 

 Even with the rigorous Northern winters there is very little danger of its being injured by the cold weather; 

 in fact, our advice is not to protect it in any way. 



Even before the frost is completely out of the ground, we find that the young grass responds to the first 

 warm days. Weed seeds from the previous Summer will not start until weeks after the Fall-sown grass has 

 become strong and vigorous enough to withstand their more rapid growth ; in fact, if it has been planted thickly, 

 the grass will often crowd out the weeds. 



Any lawn will be improved by a light sowing of the appropriate Henderson mixture during early September, 

 together with an application of one of the Henderson fertilizers. You will find a list of our various grass mix- 

 tures for particular places on Page 7 and whether you are going to make a new lawn, or renovate the old, we 

 strongly urge your doing so at once. 



A copy of our pamphlet "How to Make a Lawn" is sent with every package of the Henderson Lawn Grass 

 Seed. 



In the latitude of New York, the seed may be sown up to the first of October, farther south later, and farther 

 north up to about September first. 



The most valuable and longest lasting improvement to 

 the home grounds, is a properly built lawn sown with The 

 Henderson Lawn Grass Seed. Customers tell us that lawns 

 made a score or more years with our seed are as beautiful 

 today, as they were in their first flush of youth. 



The importance of a good lawn is stressed by the high 

 scoring they receive in Metropolitan and National Garden 

 Contests.

HENDERSON'S LAWN ENRICHER ^^^,l2 



For New and Old Lawns, Athletic Fields, Golf Courses, Etc. 

 It is Ododess, and Quickly Induces a Luxuriant Green Growth. 



The constant mowing of grass and removal of clippings also removes 

 a proportion of digested plant food. Therefore, if the luxuriance of a 

 lawn is to be maintained, it must be top dressed at least once a year 

 with suitable fertilizer. The Henderson Lawn Enricher is a clean, 

 lawn dressing which never fails in inducing a rapid and rich green 

 growth. 



For forming a new lawn a 10-lb. package is sufficient to go over an 

 area of 200 square feet, or 1,000 to 1,.500 lbs. per acre, or a smaller 

 quantity for renovating an old lawn. Apply broadcast with machine 

 or by hand as evenly as possible on a qtuet day and preferably just 

 before rain. If applied during the summer use half of the quantity 

 and water in thoroughly with a hose.

BONE MEAL ^7^^^"^^. 



Excellent for Top Dressing Lawns 



It is for its slow disintegrating and long lasting qualities that Bone 

 Meal is so very desirable for fertilizing all hard wooded plants, in- 

 cluding flowering shrubs, fruit bushes, trees, and the like. 



As there is absolutely no danger of biuning or causing rot in fleshy 

 bulbs, including Tulips, Hyacinths, etc., a liberal application of Bone 

 Meal mixed into the soil before planting them will be amply repaid for 

 by the remarkable size and brilliancy of the flowers obtained. 



For Lawns it is a dependable fertilizer, as it contains the essential 

 elements that grass requires. It may be broadcast as a top-dressing 

 at any time either in early spring or dtiring the growing season. 



Quantity required. For lawns, pasture and mowing lands 10 Ihs. to 

 200 square feet or Y2 to 1 ton per acre. For trees and i>ines, 2 to 4 lbs. each. 

 For field and garden crops, % to 1 ton broadcast and harrowed in. For 

 rose beds, pot plants, etc., one par! to about fifty of soil.
