HENDERSON’S SHADY NOOK 
The Ideal Grass Seed Mixture for Shaded Areas 
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

SPECIAL “BENT FORMULA’”’ 
It Makes Every Lawn Like a Putting Green 
A combination of the finest recleaned Grasses, using as a basis for 
this mixture the imported and domestic Bent Grasses which are so 
‘argely used in the finer Putting Greens of today. 
A lawn seeded with this mixture and properly cared for will in 
truth make every lawn a Putting Green. On a lawn of this type. 
Clock Golf and other lawn games may be enjoyably played. 
It is imperative in maintaining a lawn of this type, that the grass 
should be kept cut short and well rolled all through the season. Starva- 
tion of the grass plants is the most frequent cause of unsatisfactory 
lawns, and grass needs constant small applications of fertilizer and 
plenty of water to maintain a perfect lawn. 
We advise seeding at the rate of one pound to cover a space of 10 x 20 
or 200 square feet.

frequently ‘“‘sour,’’ and if the drainage is defective it is apt to be 
covered with moss and coarse Grasses. In such cases an application 
of slaked lime, at the rate of one hundred pounds to each thousand 
square feet, or two tons to the acre, is an excellent corrective and 
sweetener, but the moss should be first raked off. Sow seed at the 
rate of 1 lb. for 200 sq. ft.. 5 lbs. for 1,000 sq. ft.

TOUGH TURF 
For Tennis Courts, Croquet Grounds, Bowling 
Greens, etc. 
The turf required for outdoor sports must be closely interwoven, 
firm, elastic, smooth, and durable to stand the wear and tear. These 
requirements are met in this mixture, which is composed of fibrous, 
deep-rooting Grasses that spread and intermingle. The seeds are 
blended in the proper proportions to form and maintain a tough 
matted sward, constantly green, even in dry weather. These varieties 
of Grasses, being low-growing and fine-leaved, require to be sown 
liberally if a playing turf is desired quickly; not less than one pound 
should be used for 200 square feet, or 100 to 150 lbs. per acre, although 
50 per cent more may be used with advantage. Half that quantity 
will do for renovating. This mixture has been used with great success 
at the Rumson Polo Fields, also at the Forest Hills Tennis Courts. 
the great sport centers for Tennis, and numerous other playing fields.
