Henderson's 

 Shady Nook" Lawn Grass Seed. 



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 frequently "sour," and if the 

 drainage is defective it is apt to be covered with moss and coarse 

 bog Grasses. In such cases an application of slaked lime, at 

 the rate of one bushel to each thousand square feet, or forty 

 bushels to the acre, is an excellent corrective and sweetener but 

 the moss should be first removed by the use of a sharp rake.

"The popular opinion of many is that grass will not grow under the dejise shade 

 of the Magnolia tree and I was always of that opinion until I tried your Shady 

 Nook seed. I now have a fine green grass plot and I need not tell you how much it 

 adds to the appearance of the front of my residence." 



Dr. EDWIN BENTLEY, 

 113 East Capitol Ave., Little Rock, Ark. 



"On July 15th we seeded many bare spots under the large trees with your shady 

 Nook Grass seed. Now in thirty-five days of midsummer, the spots are closely 

 covered with beautiful green grass greatly admired by all. .

season. The great difficulty to be overcome in getting grass 

 established on slopes is to prevent rains washing out the young 

 grass before it is thoroughly rooted. To prevent this, place a ■ 

 continuous run of ten inch boards, set on edge and held in posi- 

 tion by stakes, along the crest of the hill. This will check and 

 turn the water to a great extent.

"From your Terrace Sod Seed last year I had the finest sod on Teraces you ever 

 saw." 0. M. KIMMEL, Crafford, Pa. 



"It affords me great pleasure to state that I have been using Hendersons Shady 

 Nook Lawn Grass Seed under Magnolia and Maple trees for many years with 

 great success. I put on a fresh supply of seed each year and then fertilize it."

"The Terrace Sod Lawn Grass Seed I had from you last year does well indeed. 

 It holds the soil firmly." I. H. STEPHENS, Riverton, Conn.

 "Terrace Sod" Lawn Grass Seed. 



This is a special mixture of grasses best suited for sowing on 

 terraces, embankments and hillsides. These varieties push 

 forth deep, strong, spreading roots; that bind the soil firmly into 

 a compact turf, which will withstand the heaviest rains. They 

 are all hardy grasses, enduring long periods of drought, they 

 thrive on shallow soils, and can be relied upon to produce a 

 rich velvety-green turf of fine leaved grasses throughout the
