CABLE. ADDRESS 

 TRITOMA NEW YORK!' 



A.a.C.CO0E.-»T H AND 5T7 EOlTIOt 



For a long time we have urged the Fall planting of grass seed, for 

 either the new lawn, or the renovation of the present one, and year after 

 year, the results have shown the wisdom of following the natural way. 



Grass seed planted in the Fall, germinates rapidly, and will attain a 

 strong growth by the time frost comes. Even with the rigorous Northern 

 winters, there is very little danger of its being injured by the cold 

 weather; in fact, our advice is not to protect it in any way. 



Even before the frost is completely out of the ground, we find that 

 the young grass responds to the first warm days, and by the time that the 

 ground has become right for germination, it has attained a good growth. 

 Weed seeds from the previous Summer will not start until weeks after the 

 Fall-sown grass has become strong and vigorous enough to withstand their more 

 rapid growth; in fact, if it has been planted thickly, the grass will often 

 crowd out the weeds. 



Any lawn will be improved by a light sowing of the appropriate 

 Henderson mixture during early September, together with an application of 

 one of the Henderson fertilizers. You will find a list of our various grass 

 mixtures for particular places on Pages 34 and 35, and whether you are going 

 to make a new lawn, or renovate the old, we strongly urge your doing so at once. 



We shall be glad to mail a copy of "How to Make a Lawn," together with 

 our pamphlet, "The Magic Carpet," on application. 



In the latitude of New York, the seed may be sown up to the first of 

 October, farther south later, and farther north up to about September first. 



Yours very truly, 



PETER HENDERSON & CO. , 



President
