PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— LAWN ESSENTIALS. 



Lawn \jjito$$ E\lm$ 



FOR SPECIAL SITUATIONS. 



Terraces and Embankments, Shady Situa- 

 tions, Golf Links, Hot, Dry Sections. 



THE Special Mixtures here offered have bten prepared with a view to 

 overcoming difficulties that have hitherto existed in getting grass 

 to grow on steep slopes, in the shade, etc., where the grasses ordi- 

 narily used would not succeed. 



The grasses we use in these mixtures are peculiarly adapted for the pur- 

 pose, and will thrive in the situations and under the conditions for which 

 they have been prepared. 



Henderson's 

 "SHADY NOOK" 

 Lawn Grass. 



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 grow- 

 ing, ever-green varieties, which in their 

 wild or natural state are found growing in 

 the woods or other sheltered and shaded 

 spots. 



Note. — If your ground is "sour" or 

 "mossy" special preparation will be needed 

 — see page 2. 



Price, 35c. qt., $2x0 peck, ^7.00 bushel. 

 {If by 7nail y add at the rate of $c. per 

 quart for postage. ) 



Henderson's 

 "TERRACE SOD" 

 Lawn Grass. 



A special mixture of grasses best suited 

 for sowing on terraces, railroad embank- 

 ments and side h:l]s— grasses that produce 

 strong, spreading roots, thus preventing 

 heavy rains from washing them out, that 

 will withstand drought and exposure, 

 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, for 

 though strong rooted, the grasses are 

 equally us fine as those used in the "Hen- 

 derson'' mixture. 



Price, 35c. qt.. $2.00 peck, $7.00 bushel. 

 (If by mail, add at the rate of ;c. per 

 quart for postage.

Henderson's 

 "SUNNY SOUTH" 

 Lawn Grass. 



Is specially prepared for the 



South or for very dry sections, 



and containsallthe bestgrasses 



that are by nature adapted for 



hot, dry situations. In the 



Southern States, Bermuda 



grass is frequently used, but 



it remains green only io the 



summer months, turning browra 



in winter, while most of the 



Northern grasses perish in the 



heats and droughts of summer. 



By using this mixture and 



with some care and attention, 



-the-year round lawn can be maintaim-d.

Besides the Lawn Mix- 

 tures offered on this page, 

 we shall at all times be 

 pleased to make up mix- 

 tures for special require- 

 ments and situations. 



We have made grasses a speeiai 

 study and in\ ite correpondence on the 

 subject, and are always glad to advise, 

 so far as lies in our power, how to se- 

 cure the desired results and the best 

 methods of overcoming weeds and 

 coarse grasses in lawns. 



Henderson's 

 GOLF LINK" 



Grass Seed. 



The bracing game of Golf has now become so deservedly 

 popular here, that many inquiries have reached us lately for a 

 mixture of grasses that will produce a sward equal to those of 

 the "Golf Links" of Scotland. 



Last summer one of our representatives visited some of these 

 Scotch Links, and after minutely examining them, found that 

 the close-cut sod of the Scorch "putting greens" can be dupli- 

 cated here by using certain grasses adapted by nature to grow 

 on light soils and sandy situations. 



While the outlying portions of the "Links" can be seeded with 

 less expensive grasses the " putting greens " for about 20 yards 

 around the 'holes" must be sown with the very finest grasses. 



For Putting Greens, we can supply a special mix- 

 ture of grasses. Price, 30 cents per quart $1.75 per peck. §6.00 

 per bushel. {If by mail, add at the rate of jc. per quart for 

 postage.) 



For the Outlying Grounds or Links- 

 proper, we can supply a suitable mixture of grosses. Price, 

 §2.50 per bushel, 20 bushels and upward, $2.25 per bushel.
