HENDERSON'S 



SPECIAL GRASS 

 SEED MIXTURE'' 



FOK CRICKET, POLO 

 AND BALL GROUNDS 



This is a special blend of deep-rooting, fine- 

 leaved, turf-forming grasses, especially suited 

 for cricket grounds, polo grounds, ball 

 grounds, etc. This mixture forms a thick, 

 strong, enduring turf that will stand any 

 amount of hard usage without showing wear 

 and tear. It grows quickly, and if soil and 

 conditions are at all favorable, with attention 

 to rolling and mowing, should be ready for 

 hard use in eight weeks from sowing. The polo 

 grounds at Lakewood, Newport, Meadow- 

 brook, Rockaway Hunt, Saratoga and others, 

 were laid with our Special Grass Seed. As for 

 cricket and ball grounds on which our grass 

 seeds have been used, they are too many to 

 mention. 



Sow 50 to 100 lbs. per acre; the larger quan- 

 tity if quick and very best results are desired. 

 Price, delivered free in the U.S., "Special 

 Mixture" for Cricket, Polo and Ball 

 Grounds, 20c. per lb., per 100 lbs. at

For Fair Greens :: 

 and Putting Greens. 



We have given much attention to grasses for Golf Courses. The Mixtures we offer below are 

 largely composed of foreign varieties that will thrive here, with the addition of several equally fine 

 American varieties, and are the result of experiments conducted on our grounds, as well as careful 

 watching for several years of the practical results obtained on Golf Courses sown with our grass seeds, 

 such as the Golf Courses named above, and nearly all well-known Courses in the United States. By 

 the use of these Mixtures, and with proper care, the finest Fair Greens and Putting Greens in the 

 world can be successfully rivaled, and, if conditions are favorable, a good playing turf may be 

 secured in eight weeks from time of sowing and lasting indefinitely. 



Several members of our establishment are golfers, and we thoroughly understand the require- 

 ments, and will at all times be pleased to correspond with and advise Greens Committees.

HENDERSON'S 



"TOUGH TURF" :: :: 

 :: :: :: GRASS SEED. 



For Tennis Courts, Croquet Grounds, 

 Bowling Greens, etc. 



Under congenial conditions it will be ready for mowing 

 4 weeks from sowing, and in 6 weeks ready for play. 



The turf required for outdoor sports must be closely inter- 

 woven, firm, elastic, smooth and durable. These require- 

 ments are met in Henderson's "Tough Turf" Mixture. it 

 quickly forms an indestructible turf standing wear and tear 

 of outdoor games, and is constantly green; is composed of 

 native and acclimated foreign fine-leaved, fibrous, deep-root- 

 ing grasses, that spread and intermingle, the seeds of which 

 are blended in the proper proportions to form and maintain 

 a tough, matted evergreen sward, even in dry weather. 

 These varieties, being low-growing and fine-leaved, require to 

 be sown liberally if a playing turf is desired quickly; not less 

 than one quart should be used for 300 square feet, or five 

 bushels per acre; half that quantity will do for renovating. 

 Price, delivered free in the U. S., 30c. qt., $1.00 for 

 4 qts., $1.75 pk., $6 bus. of 20 lbs.
