THE HENDERSON LAWN 
GRASS SEED 
Many customers have told us that last Summer, notwithstand- 
ing the worst drought that was experienced along the Eastern 
Seaboard in many years, their lawns made with The Henderson 
Lawn Grass Seed have come through perfectly. The Lawn illus- 
trated on page 1 was photographed in August, 1939. 
Top Illustration—A section of the city back yard of Mrs. Walter 
Koster, Jersey City, N. J. (photograph taken during the drought 
last August). This property was a Grand Award winner in the 
1939 Local Yard and Garden Contest. 
Center Illustration—Lawn at Indian Spring Farm, property of 
Mr. F. C. Tatum, Middletown, N. J. 
Lower Illustration—Lawn in front of the home of Mr. Lon Hud- 
son, Scarsdale, N. Y. Referring to this lawn, Mr. Hudson said: 
“The Lawn is in excellent condition and was in comparatively 
good condition all summer, although, as you are aware, the intensive 
hot, dry weather during July and most of August was a severe test. 
In comparison with other lawns in my neighborhood using other 
kinds of grass seed, my lawn made with The Henderson Grass 
Seed stood up better and now is in far superior condition to any 
of them. September 15, 1939.’ 
In order to produce a Beautiful Permanent Lawn, it is also 
necessary, besides using the best grade of seed, to prepare the soil 
properly with plant food and humus. We recommend the follow- 
ing items for perfect Lawn Making and Maintenance. For com- 
plete offering of Lawn Equipment, see pages 124 to 126, also 139 
and 140. 
LAWN ENRICHER and Top Dresser 
For New and Old Lawns, Athletic Fields, Golf Courses, etc. It 
is Odorless, and Quickly Induces a Luxuriant Green ‘rowth. 
The constant mowing of grass and removal of clippings also re- 
moves a proportion of digested plant food. Therefore, if the luxuri- 
ance of a lawn is to be maintained, it must be top dressed at least 
once a year with suitable fertilizer. The Henderson Lawn Enricher 
is a clean lawn dressing which never fails in inducing a rapid and 
rich green growth. 
For a new lawn a 10-lb. package is sufficient to cover an area 
of 200 square feet; per acre, 1,000 to 1,500 lbs. Apply broadcast 
with machine or by hand as evenly as possible on a quiet day and 
preferably just before rain. If applied during the summer use 
of the quantity and water in thoroughly with a hose.

HUMUS Pulverized 
Nature’s Product for Enriching Lawns and Gardens 
Humus is not a chemical fertilizer, but a natural organic sub- 
stance consisting of deposits of decomposed vegetable matter that 
has been accumulating for countless ages. 
Pulverized Humus is black in color, it is easy to apply, and 
serves many functions in the soil. It loosens heavy clayey soils, 
and promotes aeration. It increases the moisture-absorbing power 
of light, sandy soils and corrects the mechanical condition of medium 
soils. 
Pulverized Humus is absolutely odorless and is therefore very 
desirable for starting seedlings indoors, also for potting bulbs and 
other house plants.
