/ have had from you at different times many bushels of Henderson's ' S fecial ' 

 Grass Seed Mixture for use on eric ;et grounds, and it has always given excellent satisfac- 

 tion, hi Lawrence we used it on the Merrimack Cricket Club grounds, and the course hid

Henderson's "Special Mixture" 

 of Grass Seeds for... 



CRICKET, POLO and BALL 6R0UNDS 



This is a special blend of deep rooting fine leaved 

 turf forming grasses especially suited for cricket 

 grounds, polo grounds, ball grounds, etc. This 

 mixture forms a thick, strong, enduring turf that 

 will stand any amount of hard usage without show- 

 ing wear and tear. It grows quickly, and if soil and 

 conditions are at all favorable, with attention to 

 rolling and mowing, should be ready for hard use in 

 8 weeks from sowing. The polo grounds at Lake- 

 wood, Newport, Meadowbrook, Rockaway Hunt, 

 Saratoga, and others, were laid with our Special 

 Grass Seed. As for cricket and ball grounds on 



which our grass seeds have been used, they are too many 



to mention. 



Sow 50 to 100 lbs. per acre; the larger quantity if quick 



and very best results are desired. 



Price, " Special Mixture " (for Cricket, Polo Grounds, 



etc.,) 20c. per lb., $18.00 per 100 lbs.
