Henderson's Itaoin Grass Jlixtores 



i. FOR SPECIAL SITUATIONS. «. 



THE Special Mixtures here offered have been prepared 

 with a view to overcoming difficulties that have 

 hitherto existed in getting grass to grow on steep 

 slopes, in the shade, etc., where the grasses ordinarily 

 used would not succeed. 



The grasses we use in these mixtures are peculiarly 

 adapted for the purpose and will thrive in the situations 

 and under the conditions for which they have been pre- 

 pared, but the more effectually to overcome the difficul- 

 ties, the ground should be thoroughly prepared and a 

 rapid growth of the grasses encouraged by the liberal use 

 of well-rotted manure or fertilizer. Ground that has been 

 densely shaded by trees is frequently "sour," and if the 

 drainage is defective 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 sweetener, but 

 the moss should be first removed by the use of a sharp 

 rake. 



HENDERSON'S 



TERRACE SOD 



A special mixture of grasses best suited 

 for sowing on terraces, railroad embank 

 ments and side hills — grasses that 

 produce strong, spreading roots, 

 preventing heavy rains from wash 

 them out, that will withst 

 drought and exposure, thrive or 

 shallow soils, and at the same 

 time produce a rich velvety green 

 turf throughout the season. 

 There need be no fear of intro- 

 ducing 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. per qt., 

 $2.00 pk., $7.00 bushel. (If by 

 mail, add at the rate of 5c. per 

 quart, for postage . )

LAWN GRASS 



On nearly all lawns there are unsightly 

 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 dif- 

 ficulty. 

 It is a combination of fine dwarf-growing ever- 

 green varieties, which in their wild or natural state 

 are to be found growing in the woods or other shel- 

 tered and shaded spots. Price, 35c. qt., $2.00 pk., 

 $7.00 bushel. (If by mail, add at the rate of 5c. per 

 quart for postage.) 



HENDERSON'S 



"SUNNY SOUTH" 



LAWN GRASS. 



Is especially 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 re- 

 mains green only in the summer months, turning 

 brown in winter, while most of the Northern grasses 

 perish in the heats and droughts of summer. 



By using this mixture and with some care and at- 

 tention, 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. per quart for postage.)
