► THE 



"HENDERSON " LAWN GRASS SEED 



AND HAVE A PERFECT LAWN IN A FEW WEEKS' TIME. 



THE " HENDERSON" LAWN GRASS SEED will form a close, thick turf in a few weeks' time, with 

 no tendency to stool or grow in clumps. It roots deeply and withstands severe droughts without turning 

 brown, maintaining its beautiful deep green color throughout the season. We have made the formation of 

 permanent lawns a study for years, and the Finest Lawns in this country to=day were obtained by using; 

 the " Henderson " Lawn Grass Seed," which is composed of various grasses that grow and flourish during 

 different months of the year, so that a rich, deep green, velvety lawn is constantly maintained, rivaling the 

 famous lawns of Old England. . . 



THE "HENDERSON" LAWN GRASS SEED is, relatively speaking, the cheapest seed offered, 

 because, while the lawn grass mixtures of other seedsmen will not average over 14 lbs. to the bushel, this 

 weighs from 20 to 21 lbs, per measured bushel. 



Full instructions of "HOW TO MAKE A LAWN" are given with every package. 



THE QUANTITY REQUIRED. 



(We furnish it in large or small quantities to suit the pretentious lawn or the modest dooryard plot.) 



The quantity required for making new lawns is 5 bushels per acre, or for renovating- old lawns, I to 2 bushels. For 



a plot 15x20, or 300 square feet, I quart is required for new, or I pint for renovating old lawns. 



Prices, 20c. per quart, $1.25 per peck, $4.50 per bushel of 20 lbs. 



{If by mail, add at the rate of 5c. per qt. for postage.) 



The Superiority of 



The "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed 



has drawn forth favorable comment from 

 the flanagers of the Pan-American Ex- 

 position Grounds, as follows : 



"-// affords me great pleasure to inform 

 you that your Laivn Grass Seed has come up 

 splendidly. It is the best seed that I have 

 ever seen and by far superior to any other 

 that has been sown here. 1 ' R. ULRICH, 



Sept. 1st, iqoo. Sup't Landscape Dep't. 



And later Mr. Ulrich informs us : 



"The lawns from your seed are the finest 

 on our grounds; they are of that BEAUTI- 

 FUL RICH GREEN color, so much darker 

 and different from any of the others, some 

 of which are of such a pale yellow green that 

 I fear we shall have to plow them up and re- 

 sow with your seed."
