HENDERSON'S LAWN GrASS MIXTURES 



FOR SPECIAL SITUATIONS. 



Terraces and Embankments, Shady Situations, 

 Golf Links, Hot, Dry Sections. 



THE Special Mixtures liere offered have been prepared ■\\ith a, view to o\er- 

 coming difficulties that have hitherto existed in getting gias', to giow on 

 steep slopes, in the shade, etc., where the grasses oidinaulj used would 

 not succeed. 



The grasses we use in these mixtures are peculiarly adapted foi the pui pose, 

 and will thrive in the situations and under the conditions tor which thp\ li ive 

 been prepared, but the more effectually to overcome the difficulties, the gi ound 

 should be thorouglily prepared and a rapid growth of the glasses cncouiaged 

 by a liberal use of fertilizer or well-rotted stable manure. Giound that lias been 

 densely shaded by trees is frequently "sour," and if the diainage is delci tue it 

 Is apt to be covered with moss. In such cases an application of lime, land 

 plaster or wood ashes is an excellent corrective and sweeteuei , but the moss should 

 be first removed by the use of a sharp rake. 



HENDERSON'S "SHADY NOOK" 

 LAWN GRASS.

 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.

 evergreen varieties, which In their -wild or 

 natural state are to be found growing in the

HENDERSON'S "TERRACE SOD" 

 LAWN GRASS. 



A special mixture of grasses best suited for sowing on 



terraces, railroad embankments and side hills — 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 as fine as those used in the 



Henderson " mixture. Price, 35c. qt., $2.00 pk., $7.00 bush. 



{If by mail, add at the rate of 5c. per qt. for postage.) 



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 Scotch " putting greens " can be duplicated 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 twenty yards 

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



For Putting Greens we can supply a special mixture of grasses. 

 Price, 30c. qt., $1.75 pk., $6.00 bush. 

 (If by mail, add at the rate of 5c. per qt. for postage.) 



For the Outlying Grounds or Links proper we can supply a 

 suitable mixture of grasses. 



Price, $2.50 bush.; 20 bushels and upward, $2.25 bush.
