HENDERSONS "SEASIDE" 

 LJiWM GRASS SEED. 



Along our sea coast there are many beautiful summer homes and resorts with 

 such sandy saline surroundings that a turf of the favorite lawn grasses cannot 

 be produced. We have so often made up a mixture of special grasses to thrive 

 under these trying conditions that we have concluded to offer it for the benefit 

 of others who may be having the same " trouble in getting grass to grow." We 

 do not claim that our " Sea Side " lawn grass will make a lawn equaling in fine 

 velvety texture those produced with the " Henderson Lawn Grass Seed." but 

 our " Sea Side " mixture will make a good turf of green on sand where the finer 

 grasses are not so likely to thrive, though of course the sand must be top dressed 

 with not less than 2 inches of soil before even our " Sea Side " grass seed is sown, 

 to enable the young grass to get a start, after which the long roots — peculiar to 

 the varieties we use in this mixture — drive down deeply in the sand and remain 

 permanently self-sustaining — if attention is given to sprinkling during dry weather. 



The lawns surrounding the Manhattan Beach and Oriental Hotels 

 illustrated below were made years ago under the exact conditions we 

 describe above with our special " Sea Side " Lawn Grass mixture, and 

 they still remain in beautiful condition, excepting in places where 

 the salt spray dashes. Use at the rate of 1 quart for 300 square feet; 

 5 bushels per acre. Price, 25c. qt.; 4 qts., 75c; peck, $1.25; 

 bushel, $4.50. If by mail, add 5c. qt. extra for postage. 



"Sunny South" 



LAWK GKJiSS SEED. 



Where the grasses of the 

 North approach the grasses of the 

 tropics there is an irregular belt 

 of territory — approximately from 

 South Carolina westward (no 

 definite line can be drawn on ac- 

 count of varying altitudes) where 

 the heat and drought of summer 

 burn out the favorite lawn 

 grasses of the north unless liber- 

 ally watered ; and yet sections in 

 this belt are subject to some 

 freezing weather in winter, which 

 excludes the satisfactory use of 

 the St. Augustine and Bermuda 

 grasses so extensively used for 

 lawns in the extreme south and 

 in warm semi-arid sections. Con- 

 sequently, for localities where 

 the above conditions apply our 

 " Sunny South " mixture will be 

 found thoroughly satisfactory. It 

 is a blend of foreign and indige- 

 nous grasses naturally adapted to 

 withstand heat and drought, and also some 

 freezing, and with a little attention to sprink- 

 ling occasionally during dry hot weather until 

 established, will furnish a permanent lawn, 

 green the year round. Price, 35c. qt., $2.00 

 pk., $7.00 bush, of 20 lbs. 

 (// by mail, add at the 



rate of 5c. qt. for 



postage.) 



11 My grass, the ' Sunny South,' is just as fine as can 

 be, although I should have put more seed on. Will put 

 all the balance of the lawn in * Sunny South,' it having 

 stood the drought better than any of the others I sowed." 



W. S. Keeper, Thomasville, Ga. 



" / would like to add my testimony to the excellence of 

 your ' Sunny South ' Grass Seed. It is all and more than 

 you claim for it. My lawn is the admiration of all who 

 see %t." Miss I. A. Leete, Tarheel, N. C"
