4(ENDERS0NS lAWN GdRASS JV^iXTURES 



FOR SPECIAI. SITUATIONS. 



The Special Mixtures liere offered have been prepared with a view to overcoming difflcuUies that have hitherto existed in getting "rass 

 to grow on strep slopes, in the shade, etc., where the grasses ordinarily used would not succeed. 



The grasses we use in these mixtures are pecuHarily adapted for the purpose and will thrive in the situations and under the conditions 

 tor vvhich they have been prepa-ed, but the more effectually to overcome the difficulties, the ground should be thoroughly prepared and a 

 rapid growth of the grasses encouraged by a hberal use of fertil- 

 izer or well rotted stable manure. Ciround that has been 

 densely shaded by trees is frequency "sour," <.ndif the drainage 

 is defective it is apt lobe covered with moss. In such case= an 

 application of lime, land plaster or wood ashes is an excellent 

 corrective and sweetener, but the moss should be fiist removed 

 by the use of a sharp rake.

"GOLF LI/NK" 



Grass Seed. 



The biacing game of Golf has now become so deservedly 

 popular heie, that many inquiries have reached us lately for a 

 mixture of .grasses that will produce a sward equal to those of 

 the "Golf I.ivks" of Scotland. 



Last summer one of our representatives visited some of 

 these Scotch Links, and after minutely examining them, found 

 that the clcs?-cut sod of the Scotch " pulling 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 le^s 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, 30 cents perqt , §1.75 per pk., ^6. 00 

 per bushel. i.If by mail, add at the rate of Sc. per quart 

 for postage.) 



For the Outlying Grounds or Links 



proper, we can supply a suitable mixture of .grasses. Price, 

 §2.50 I er bushel; 20 bushels and upv^trd, ,$2 25 per bushel.

"SUNNY SOUXM" 



La-w^n Grass. 



Ts 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. In the Southern 

 States, Bermuda grass is frequently used, but it remains 

 green only in the summer months, turning brown in 

 winter, while most of the Northern grasses parish in the 

 heats and droughts of summer. 



By using this mixture and with some care and atten- 

 tion, an all-the-year round lawn can be maintained. 



Price. 35c qt., $2.00 pk., $7.00 bushel. (If by mail, 

 add at the rate of 5c. fier qt. for postage.) 



Henderson's "SHflDY NQOK" Lawn Qrass. 



On nearly all lawns there are unsightly bare spots under the shade <A 

 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, ever-green varieties, which 

 in their wild or natural state arc to be found growing in the woods or othtr 

 sheltered and shaded spots. 



Price, 35c. qt., §2.00 pk., $7,00 bushel. {If by »iail^ add at the rate 

 0/ 5c, per qt. for Postage. ) 



Henderson's "TERRBCE SOD" Lawn Grass. 1 



A special mixture of grasses best suited for sowing on terrace's, railroad 

 embankments and side hills— grasses that pi'oduce 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 pro- 

 duce a rich velvety green turf throughout the season. There need be no 

 fear of introducing coarse grasses into your lawn by sowing this mixluie, 

 for, though strong rooted, the grasses are equally as fine as those used in 

 the ** Henderson " mixlure. 



Price, 35c. qt., $2.00 pk., $7,00 bushel. {If by mail ^ add at the rate 

 of^c. Per quart for postage.)
