S p ecial Lawn Cirass Mixtures Shady Situations, Hot, Dry 
a EE Sections and Golf Links. 
(OnE Special Mixtures here offered have been prepared 
aw with a view to overcoming difficulties that have 
° hitherto existed in getting grass to grow on steep 
slopes, sandy soils, in the shade, etc., where the grasses 
ordinarily used would not sueceed. The ground should 
be thoroughly prepared and enriched. 
plencerson’s ““GQlt Link” Grass oeéd. 
The bracing game of Golf has now become so deservedly 
popular here, that many inquiries have reached us lately 
for a mixture of grasses that will produce a sward equal 
to those of the ‘‘GouF Links” of Scotland. 
Last summer one of our representatives visited some 
of these Scotch Links, and after minutely examining 
them, found that the close-cutsod of the Seotch ‘‘ putting 
greens” can be duplicated here by using certain grasses 
adapted by nature to grow on light soils and sandy 
situations. 
While the outlying portions of the ‘‘Links” can be 
seeded with less expensive grasses, the ‘‘ putting greens ” 
for about twenty yards around the ‘“‘ holes” must be sown 
with the very finest grasses. 
We can supply a special mixture of grasses for ‘‘ putting 
greens ” 
Price, 30 cents per qt., $1.25 per pk., $6.00 per bushel. 
(If by mail, add at the rate of 5c. per quart for postage.) 
HENDERSON'S TerTace God |, awn ({1ass. 
A special mixture of grasses best suited 
for sowing on terraces, railroad embank- 
ments and side hills—grasses that 
produce strong, spreading roots, thus 
preventing heavy rains from wash- 
ing them out, that will withstand 
drought and exposure, thrive on 
shallow soils, and at the same 
time produce a rich velvety-green 
turf throughout the _ season. 
There need be no fear of intro- 
ducing coarse grasses into your 
lawn by sowing this mixture, 
for, though strong-rooted, the 
grasses are equally as fine as 
those used in the ‘‘ Henderson” 
mixture. Price, 35c. per qt., 
$2.00 pk., $7.00 bushel. (If by 
mail, add at the rate of 5c. per 
quart for postage.) 
ENDERSON’S 
‘‘ Shady Nook’’ 
*“ Lawn Grass. 
On nearly all lawns there are unsightly 
bare spots under the shade of trees, which 
have baffled all efforts to get into grass, but 
with this mixture there need be no further dif- 
ficulty. 
At is a combination of fine dwarf-growing ever- 
green varieties, which in their wild or natural state 
are to be found growing in the woods or other shel- 
tered and shaded spots. Ground that has been dense- 
ly shaded by trees is frequently ‘‘sour,” and if the 
drainage is defective it is apt to be covered with 
moss. In such eases an application of lime, land 
plaster or wood ashesis an excellent corrective and 
sweetener, but the moss should be first removed by 
the use of a sharp rake. Price, 35c. qt., $2.00 pk., 
$7.00 bushel. (Jf by mail, add at the rate of 5c. per 
quart for postage.) 
ENDERSON’S 6 $ 
“Sunny South” Lawn Grass 
Is specially prepared for the South or for very dry 
sections, and contains all the best grasses that are by 
nature adapted for hot, dry situations. In the Southern 
States, Bermuda grass is frequently used, but it re- 
mains green only in the summer months, turning 
brown in winter, while most of the Northern grasses 
perish in the heats and droughts of summer. 
By using this mixture, and with some care and at- 
tention, an all-the-year-round lawn can be maintained. 
Price, 35c. qt., $2.00 pk., $7.00 bushel. (Jf by mail, adé
