1. Prepare the ground as soon as it can be worked. Spading is the 
first step towards a perfect lawn. Spade deep and loosen the soil thor- 
oughly. Next, apply Henderson's Lawn Enricher. If the soil is very 
heavy, or on the contrary very light and sandy, add Humus (see below). 
2. Rake backwards and forwards to break all clods and lumps, 
also to level the ground. The more the rake is used, the better will 
be the condition of the soil for seeding. 
3. Rolling is the next step. A water-weight roller weighing about 
400 pounds, is recommended. Roll in each direction, levelling the 
ground and smoothing out any undulations. 
4. Before seeding, rake lightly to loosen the soil to a depth of about 
one-half inch; it is then ready for seeding. When seeding by hand, 
stake out the lawn into 10 by 10 foot squares, and allow one half pound 
seed for each square. Always work backwards; this allows you to 
inspect your work and to add a little seed here and there where needed. 
5. With a HENDERSON FERTILIZER AND SEED DISTRIB- 
UTOR (see page 132), seeding will be greatly simplified, as a more even 
distribution of fertilizer or grass seed is obtained. When the grass 
has reached the height of 1 ]/% inches, it is ready for cutting. 
6. Keep the lawn mowed to about 1 inch, with the Henderson Estate 
Mower. This allows the grass plants to spread and establish a thick, 
healthy turf. By seeding and feeding the lawn both in spring and fall, 
a vigorous turf can be maintained at all times. 
LAWN ENRICHER 
For New and Old Lawns, Athletic Fields, Golf Courses, etc. It 
is Odorless, and Quickly Induces a Luxuriant Green Growth 
The constant mowing of grass and removal of clippings 
also removes a proportion of digested plant food. There- 
fore, if the luxuriance of a lawn is to be maintained, it 
must be top dressed at least once a year. 
For a new lawn a 10-lb. package is sufficient 
to cover an area of 200 square feet; per acre, 
1.000 to 1,500 lbs. Apply broadcast with ma- 
chine or by hand as evenly as possible on a quiet 
day and preferably just before rain. If applied 
during the summer, use half the quantity and 
water in thoroughly with a hose.

TO REPAIR OR RENOVATE A LAWN 
Give the entire lawn a thorough raking with an iron or steel tooth 
rake. This should be done in spring as soon as the ground is workable, 
to loosen the topsoil and aerate the lawn, also to remove dead grass 
sticks, stones, etc. Next, apply Hydrated Lime at the rate of 10 pounds 
to 200 square feet. Lime conditions the soil and liberates food ele- 
ments which the plants are otherwise unable to obtain. 
A few days later, Lawn Enricher should be raked in, in the same pro- 
portion as the lime. Having thoroughly worked both of these ingre- 
dients into the ground, reseed with The Henderson Lawn Grass Seed 
Mixture. Seeding should be done early in spring. This will allow the 
grass to become well established before hot weather sets in. 
Watering is an important factor, and it cannot be too strongly 
emphasized that after seeding- — particularly if the weather is hot 
and dry — watering with a fine sprinkler is most essential. Do not 
sprinkle the lawn lightly, but allow the sprinkler to rotate slowly 
and thoroughly soak the ground gradually, to obtain a deep water 
penetration. This will produce quick germination and encourage 
deep root penetration. An occasional topdressing of half the above 
mentioned quantity of Henderson's Lawn Enricher, thoroughly watered 
in, during the summer will keep the lawn vigorous and healthy. 
HUMUS Pulverized 
Nature's Product for Enriching Lawns and Gardens 
Humus is not a chemical fertilizer, but a natural or- 
ganic substance consisting of deposits of decomposed 
vegetable matter that has been accumulating for count- 
less ages. 
Pulverized Humus is black in color, it is easy 
to apply, and serves many functions in the soil. 
It loosens heavy clayey soils, and promotes 
aeration. It increases the moisture-absorbing 
power of light, sandy soils and corrects me- 
chanical condition of medium soils. 
Pulverized Humus is absolutely odorless and 
is therefore very desirable for starting seedlings 
indoors, also for potting bulbs and other house 
plants.
