That ovttdoor games are becoming more popular in America every year is evi- 

 dent from the frequent applications that we receive from some newly organized 

 outdoor club for a fine, durable grass. The turf required for these sports must 

 be closely interwoven, firm, elastic, smooth and durable. These requirements 

 are met in Henderson's " Tough Turf " Mixture, which is composed of native 

 and acclimated foreign fine-leaved, fibrous, deep-rooting grasses, that spread and 

 intermingle, the seeds of which are blended in the proper proportions to form and 

 maintain a tough, matted evergreen sward, even in dry weather. These varie- 

 ties, being low-growing and fine-leaved, require to be sown liberally if a playing 

 turf is desired quickly; not less than one quart should be -used for 300 square feet, 

 or five bushels per acre; half that quantitv will do for renovating. 

 Price, 30c. quart, 4 quarts $1.00, $1.75 peck, $6.00 bushel. 

 (7/ by mail, add 5c. per quart for postage.) 



" Yon will perhaps be pleased to know that our tennis court, made last year by sowing your ' Tough 

 Turf grass seed, was a great success. We commenced mowing it in about 5 weeks, and were playing 

 on it in 6 weeks' time, without any apparent injury, as the grass kept thickening up all the time, and is 

 a beautiful bit of turf. We are all delighted."
