Tsar the ‘‘Henderson” Lawn 
Grass Seed is the finest mixture 
ever offered, the immense quan- 
tity we annually sell is the best proof 
we can offer... It is the best lawn seed 
for our American climate, and is com- 
posed of various grasses that grow 
and flourish during different months 
of the year, so that a rich, deep green, 
velvety lawn is constantly maintained. 
The Henderson Lawn Seed is the re- 
sult of several years’ careful experi- 
menting, and as we now offer it the 
mixture is unequaled. It may not 
also be generally known that it is, 
relatively speaking, the cheapest seed 
offered, »ecause while the Jawn grass 
mixtures of other seedsmen will not 
average over 14 lbs. to the bushel, the 
Henderson Lawn Seed will weigh 
from 20 to 21 lbs. per measured bushel. 
The quantity required for making new 
lawns is 5 bushels per acre, or for 
renovating old lawns 1 to 2 bushels. 
For a plot 15x 20, or 300 square feet, 1 
quart is required for new or 1 pint for 
= renovation. Price, 25c. per quart, 
$1.50 per peck, $5.00 per bush. (if 
by mail, add at the rate of 5c. per quart 
for postage).
