 ures which contributed 

 to the grandeur of the 



WORLD'S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION, 



not one was so universally admired as were the ~- *^ S * S£ " 



beautiful lawns sown with The "Henderson" Lawn 



Grass. In that great "White City" it was impossible for everyone 



to examine all the exhibits, but the velvety lawns were always before 



the multitudes and were the subject of more flattering encomiums than any single one of the magnificent sights. Where the work 



of construction rendered it possible, the lawns were sown in the Fall of 1892, but in most instances it was necessary to wait until Spring, 



and several of them were not sown until April, just a few days before the opening of the Fair, yet within six weeks from time of sowing, 



the ground was transformed into velvety lawns, which, notwithstanding the long-continued drought of last Summer, retained their verdure 



throughout the entire season until the close of the Fair. 



The above view shows one of our Lawns on the lagoon slope, in front of the Government Building, with the large Manufactures 

 and Liberal Arts Building to the right in the rear. 



These lawns were sown with The "Henderson " Lawn Grass, identically the same as we offer to our customers, any one of whom 

 can with ordinary care equal and even surpass the results obtained at the World's Fair if the simple directions be followed which 

 are given in our pamphlet " How to Make a Lawn," enclosed in all packages of The " Henderson " Lawn Grass. 



Office of Director- General, 



World's Columbian Exposition, 

 Chicago, 111., Dec. 1st, 1893. 

 Your lawns at the World's Columbian Exposition 

 were as nearly perfect as lawns could be made. 

 The sod was dense, contained no extraneous weeds 

 or grass, and the color from every point viewed was 

 uniform in appearance. They were in excellent con- 

 dition during the entire period of the World's Fair. 

 J. M. SAMUELS, 



Chief, Dep't of Horticulture. 



The quantity required for 

 making new lawns is 5 bush- 

 els 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. 

 Price, 25c. per quart, $1.50 per 

 peck, $5.00 per bush. {If by 

 mail, add at the rate of 5c. per 

 quart for postage. ) 



Office of Director of Works, 



World's Columbian Exposition, 

 Chicago, III., Dec. 5th, 1893. 

 The "Henderson " lawn Grass Seed was nsed 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 rapidly which stood 

 the droughts of the past Summer, making a thick 

 sod, and is more durable than any other we ha ve used.
