^W a &e&U££^Ct£ *&<Zm€ • Henderson's LAWN SEED MIXTURES 



The cost of lawn seed represents but a small part of the total investment in making a lawn and, 

 in the final analysis, the highest grade seed you can buy is the wisest investment.

 SEED 



The Best on Earth— Pure seed of high germination 

 Maximum freedom from weed seed 



Years of experimentation and observation of the development of 

 grasses in all kinds of soils and under varying conditions have led 

 to this, our finest formulation. The formula is not fixed, but is varied 

 as new and better lawn seed varieties become available. The present 

 Staigreen lawn seed mixture contains: KENTUCKY BLUE GBASS 

 for permanence, MIXED BENT for soft pleasing texture, CHEW- 

 ING'S FESCUE to resist heat, FANCY BED TOP for early start, 

 ILLAHEE CBEEPING FESCUE for density, POA TBIVIALIS for 

 shaded areas. Staigreen has a definite resistance to chinch-bug in- 

 jury, to drought and summer scald. It is recommended for all lawns, 

 including those closest to the seas, on slopes and terraces. White 

 Clover, not included in the formula, may be sown separately, allow- 

 ing 1 lb. to 20 lbs. of Staigreen. Lb. $1.50; 2^ lbs. $3.70; 5 lbs. $7.25; 

 10 lbs. $14; 25 lbs. $33.50; 100 lbs. $125. 



BEST UNDER TREES 



A formula made up of the best grasses tolerant of shade, including 

 Chewing's Fescue, Illahee Fescue, Bents and other fine seed for es- 

 tablishing permanent turf. Although especially recommended for 

 shaded areas, the proportion of grasses is sufficient to make the formula 

 adaptable where there are both sunny and shady areas. Lb. $1.50; 

 2]/ 2 lbs. $3.70; 5 lbs. $7.25; 10 lbs. $14; 25 lbs. $33.50; 100 lbs. $125. 



The Henderson does not contain Bent grass, but the formula is other- 

 wise compounded chiefly of deep-rooted permanent grasses and has 

 satisfied many of America's foremost gardeners for more than a 

 century. Lawns planted with The Henderson lawn seed have a per- 

 manent quality. 



Cost of the seed represents only a small part of the total investment 

 in making a lawn, and it pays to buy high-grade seed. The Henderson 

 celebrated formula has been thoroughly tested by country-wide use 

 for more than a century and approved by many of America's foremost 

 gardeners. Lb. $1.25; 2Y 2 lbs. $3.10; 5 lbs. $6; 10 lbs. $11.50; 25 lbs. 

 $27.50; 100 lbs. $100.

U &dfr y<ut &ave a BETTER LAWN ... 



No lawn is ever better than the soil in which it is planted. In many locations a lawn may be successful on 3 

 inches of top-soil . . . but 6 or 10 inches are better. The top surface of the base should be loosened before 

 putting on the top-soil. This bonding permits the free flow of moisture through the soil both up and down. 

 Prepare the lawn surface well in advance of planting so that soil samples may be tested and amplified with the 

 necessary fertilizers, humus or peat before planting. Complete information on these and other points of lawn 

 care are included in our leaflet.
