HENDERSON’S 
SEA SIDE’ 
LAWN 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.

“Sunny South” 
LAWN GRASS 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 hcat 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.

‘My erass, the ‘Sunny South,’ ts just as fine as can 
be, although I should have put more secd on. Wall pat 
all the balance of the lawn in ‘ Sunny South, it havin 
stood the drought better than any of the others I sowed.’

““T would like to add my testimony to the excellence of 
vour ‘ Sunny South’ Grass Seed. It 1s all and more than 
you claim for tt. My lawn ts the admiration of all who 
see wt.” Miss I. A. LEETE, Tarheel, N. C”
