SpecialJ^WN GRASSY 



The Special Mixtures here offered have been prepared ] 

 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 succeed. The ground should be thoroughly 

 prepared and enriched. 



Henderson's "GOLF LINK" Grass Seed, 



The bracing game of Golf has now become so deserved- 

 ly popular here, that many inquiries have reached us lately 

 for a mixture of grasses'that will produce a sward equal 

 to those of the "Golf Links" of Scotland. 



Last summer one of onr representatives visited some 

 of these Scotch Links, and after minutely examining 

 them, found that the close-cut sod of the Scotch "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 seed- 

 ed with less expensive grasses, the "putting greens" for 

 about twenty yards around the "holes" must be sown 

 with the very finest grasses. 



For Putting Greens, we can supply a special mixture 

 of grasses. Price, $5.00 per bushel. 



For the Outlaying Grounds or Links proper, we can 

 supply a suitable mixture of grasses. Price, $2.00 per 

 bushel. 



Henderson's T errace god ^awif grass 



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, $5.00 per bushel. 



For Terraces and Em- 

 iXt&FCS bankments, Shady Sit- 

 uations, Hot, Dry Sec- 

 tion and Golf Links. 



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 difficulty. 

 It 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 

 drainge is defective it is apt to be covered with moss. 

 In such cases an application of lime, land plaster or 

 wood ashes is an excellent corrective and sweetener, 

 but the moss should be first removed by the use of a 

 sharp rake. Price, $5.00 per bushel. 



[^ ENDERSON'S 



"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 South- 

 ern States, Bermuda grass is frequently used, but it 

 remains 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 maintain- 

 ed. Price, $5.00 per bushel.
