From Peter Frayne, 

 Exeter, Ont. 



41 1 do not consider I would be doing you 

 justice if I did not thank you for the Lawn 

 Grass Seed that I got from you last spring, 

 and in doing so 1 must say it is the best 

 seed I ever saw. I was more than sur- 

 prised to see the very nice lawn that it 

 produced. In six or eight weeks from 

 the time it was sown it covered the ground 

 so thick that every person who saw it 

 thought that I must have had my grcund 

 sodded, but it far surpasses any sodding 

 I ever saw, or any seeding. This is not 

 only my testimony, but the opinion of 

 every one who has seen it."

The " Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed was used on the 

 Worlo's Fairgrounds, and it affords me pleasure to say that 

 the quality of the seed was first-class in every respect, form- 

 ing lawns rapid iy, which stood the droughts of the past sum- 

 mer, making a thick sod and is more durable than anyothtr 

 we have used. K. V LRICH, Sup't. Landscape Dep't.

"My lawn has been sown with your grass 

 seed and strewn with your fertilizer, and 

 there is no neater lawn on the island. My 

 last purchase of your lawn grass seed was 

 for a small place 1 own, where the soil is 

 poor and sandy. It was sown early in the 

 spring and has proved 10 be wonderfully 

 adapted to so barren a spot, making a 

 rapid growth, although we are subject 

 hereto severe drought and have to depend 

 greatly on spnn .ling and watering."

 Omaha, Neb., June 12th, 1896. 



"The grass seed I ordered of you in April 

 was sown about May ist, and I am sur- 

 prised and delighted at the results in five 

 weeks. I have the finest grass to be seen 

 in this city. It should have been mown 

 already. I did not have quiie enough so 

 bought some seed here but it 

 has not given satisfaction 

 so will sow some 

 more of yours 

 where the oth- 

 er has not 

 come 

 up.'
