SUNNY SOUTH 



It is especially prepared for the South, and contains all the best 

 I' Grasses that are by nature adapted for hot, dry situations. In the 

 ' South, Bermuda Grass is frequently used, but it remains green only 

 in the summer months, turning brown in winter; but by using Sunny 

 South, and with care and attention to watering, an all-the-year-round 

 lawn can be maintained in Southern States where Grasses do not usually 

 thrive.

 ' White Clover. An excellent clover for lawns, makes a close com- 

 n pact growth, covering the ground like a carpet. It also prevents the 

 J washing out of soil during heavy rains. Thrives well on all soils.

SHADY NOOK 



The Ideal mixture for shaded areas 



It is a combination ot 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 frequently "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 hun- 

 dred 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. {See illuslralioii.)

<<SPECIAL BENT FORMULA'' 



It makes every lawn like a putting green 



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

 truth make every lawn a Putting Green. 



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. 

 Starvation of the grass plants is the most frequent cause of unsatis- 

 factory lawns, and grass needs constant small applications of fer- 

 tilizer and plenty of water to maintain a perfect lawn. 



Also, every spring apply a dressing of Henderson's Lawn Enricher 

 Broadcast this, using five pounds for each 200 square feet, and water 

 it in thoroughly with a hose. 



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

 10x20 or 200 square feet. Price, % lb., 50c; lb., 95c; 5 lbs., $4.50; 

 10 lbs., $8.50; 25 lbs., $20.00; 100 lbs.. $75.00; transportation paid. 



SEASIDE 



Our "Seaside" mixture will make a good turf of green on sand where 

 the finer Grasses are not so likely to thrive, though, of course, the sand 

 must be top-dressed with not less than 2 inches of soil before even our 

 "Seaside" Grass Seed is sown, to enable the young Grass to get a start, 

 after which the long roots — peculiar to the varieties we use in this mix- 

 ture — drive down deeply in the sand and remain permanently self- 

 sustaining, if attention is given to sprinkling during dry weather.

 20 lbs.. $8.50; 100 lbs.. $40.00; transportation paid. 



TERRACE SOD 



A special mixture of Grasses best suited for sowing on terraces, em- 

 bankments and hillsides. These are varieties that produce long, strong, 

 spreading roots, preventing heavy rains from washing them out and 

 that will withstand drought, 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 sowing this 

 mixture.

TOUGH TURF 



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



Several varieties are blended in the proper proportions to torm 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 1 

 pound should be used for 200 square feet, or 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.
