Are made with the HENDERSON LAWN GRASS SEED. This celebrated mixture has been 

 thoroughly tested by country- wide use for more than half a century. It is the fruit of years of 

 experience and close study of American conditions and is undoubtedly the best for the American 

 climate. By its use a deep green, velvety sward, free from clumps, can be produced in from four to 

 six weeks' time. 



The Fall season is especially favorable to the growth of young grass, for at that 

 season the seeds have the benefit of a thoroughly warmed ground and a copious rainfall, which 

 hastens germination and enables the grass to become firmly established before winter sets in. Then, 

 on the opening of spring, the grass immediately recommences its growth and taking full possession 

 of the ground, prevents weeds from obtaining a foothold. A lawn grown in this way will endure 

 summer drought much better than a spring-sown lawn. 



THE HENDERSON LAWN GRASS SEED is an intelligently arranged combination of grasses, 

 which are at their best during different months of the year, thus keeping a lawn constantly covered 

 with verdure. It is impossible to make an enduring lawn by sowing seeds of a single variety, which 

 will only grow vigorously for a portion of the year. Kentucky Blue 

 Grass for instance, which is sometimes recommended for lawns, grows 

 but sparsely during midsummer, is slow to form a close sward, requiring 

 two years to do that, and loses color in hot weather. 



THE HENDERSON LAWN GRASS SEED is composed of fine- 

 leaved, dwarf grasses, which produce a closely interwoven 

 turf that maintains from year to year a covering of en- 

 during green. 



The quantity required for new lawns is 5 bushels per 

 acre. For a plot 15 x 20, 300 square feet, use 1 quart. 

 For renovating old lawns, use one fourth to one-half of 

 above quantities. Full instructions in every hag and package.
