Your lawns at the World's Colum- 

 bian 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 appear- 

 ance. They were in excellent condition 

 during the entire period of the World's 

 Fair. J. M. SAMUELS,

'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 wasfirst-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 have 

 used. R. ULRICH, 



Sup't Landscape DepH. 



the best lawn seed 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 main- 

 tained.- The "Henderson" 

 , Lawn Seed is the result of 

 several years' careful experiment- 

 ing, and is unequaled. 



// as, relatively speaking, the 

 cheapest seed offered, because 

 while the lawn grass mixtures 

 of other seedsmen will not 

 average over 14 lbs. to the 

 bushel, the "HENDERSON" 

 LAWN SEED will weigh from 2 

 to 21 lbs. per measured bushel. 



Not one of the charming fea- 

 tures at the World's Columbian 

 Exposition was so universally ad- 

 mired as were the beautiful lawns 

 sown with the " Henderson " Lawn 

 Grass. In that great "White City" 

 the velvety lawns were the 

 subject of more nattering 

 encomiums than any sin- 

 gle 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 instan- 

 ces it was necessary to 

 wait until spring, and sev- 

 eral of them were not 

 sown until April, just a 

 few days before the open- 

 ing of the Fair, yet within 

 six weeks from time of 

 sowing, the ground was 

 transformed into velvety 

 lawns, which, notwith- 

 standing the long con- 

 tinued drought of the 

 summer, retained their 

 verdure throughout the en- 

 tire season. 



The Grass Seeds we xise in the "Hen- 

 derson" Lawn Grass Mixture were exhib- 

 ited by us at the World's Columbian 

 Exposition, and received seven awards for 

 superior quality and purity of sample.
