LAWN ON THE ESTATE OF MR. FREDERICK T. BONHAM, RIVERSIDE, CONN. 1935 GRAND AWARD WINNER IN CLASS D PROPERTIES. NEW YORK 

 HERALD TRIBUNE GARDEN COMPETITION. THIS AND OTHER LAWNS ON THE PROPERTY WERE MADE WITH THE HENDERSON LAWN GRASS SEED 



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 



We give full instructions for making new lawns or re-seeding old ones in our booklet, "How to Make a Lawn." 



This is enclosed in every package. 



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

 the old one, and year after year the successful results have shown the wisdom of following this system which is Nature's 

 system. 



Grass seed sown 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 theweeds. 



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 31 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.

Whether you renovate your old Lawn or make a new one, it will be richer, greener and more durable if you feed it with Hen- 

 derson's Lawn Enricher. (See page 30.)
