THE "HENDERSON 9 ' LAWN GRASS SEED. 



The Purest, Gleanest and Heaviest Laoin Grass Seed Ever Offered I 



With it a New Lawn, Thick, Velvety and 

 Green, may be had in Three Months' Time, 



And for Renovating Old Lawns, Bad Spots, 

 etc., it is without a Rival. 



PZTJZ7HAT the "Henderson" Lawn 

 Grass Seed is the finest mix- 

 ture ever offered, the immense 

 quantity we annually sell is the 

 best proof we can offer. It is 

 the best lawnseed for our Amer- 

 ican climate, and is composed 

 of various grasses that grow and flour- 

 ish during different months of the year, 

 so that a rich deep green, velvety lawn 

 is constantly maintained. The Hen- 

 derson Lawn Seed is the result of 

 several years' careful experimenting, 

 and as we now offer it the mixture is 

 unequaled. It may not also be gen- 

 erally known that it is, relatively 

 speaking, the cheapest seed offered, be- 

 cause while the lawn grass mixtures of 

 other seedsmen will not average over 14 

 lbs. to the bushel, the Henderson Lawn 

 Seed will weigh from 20 to 21 lbs. per 

 measured bushel. The quantity required 

 for making new lawns is 5 bushels per 

 acre, or for renovating old lawns 1 to 

 2 bushels. For a plot 15x20, or 300 

 square feet, 1 quart is required for new 

 or 1 pint for renovation. 25c. quart,. 

 $1.50 peck, $5.00 bushel. (If by 

 mail, add at the rate of 5c. per quart for 

 postage.) 



TERRACE SOD MIXTURE. A special 

 mixture of grasses best suited for 

 sowing on terraces, railroad embank- 

 ments 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 sea- 

 son. 35c. quart, $2.00 peck, $7.00. 

 bushel. (If by mail, add at the rate of 5c. 

 per quart for postage.) 



«< SUNNY SOUTH " LAWN GRASS. Is 



specially prepared for the South or for very- 

 dry sections, and contains all the best grasses 

 that are by nature adapted for hot dry situations. 

 35c. quart, $2.00 peck, $7.00 bushel. (If by mail, add at the 

 rate of 5c. per quart for postage.) 

 "SHADY NOOK" MIXTURE is a combination of fine dwarf- 

 growing evergreen grasses, thriving in the shade under trees, 

 etc. 35c. quart, $2.00 peck, $7.00 bushel. (If by mail, add at 

 the rate of 5c. per quart for postage).

World's Columbian Exposition, 



Chicago, 111., Oct. 25th, 1893. 



The "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed 

 was used on the World's Fair grounds, 

 and it affords me pleasure to say that 

 the quality of the seed was first-class 

 in every respect, forming lawns rap- 

 idly which stood the droughts of the 

 past summer, making a thick sod, and is 

 more durable than any other we have used. 



The " Henderson" Lawn Mower has been in prac- 

 tical use on the World's Columbian Exposition 

 grounds ever since the lawns were made. It has given 

 entire satisfaction and proved to be a machine of the highest 

 order of perfection, and as regards light running and durability 

 it excels all others.
