The "HENDERSON" Lawn Grass Seed 



Sown in the Fall, it Produces Enduring Turf which will withstand Summer Droughts 



The fall season is especially favorable to the growth of young grass, for 

 at that season the seeds have the benefit of thoroughly warmed ground and a 

 copious rainfall, which hastens germination and enables the grass to be- 

 come firmly established before winter sets in. Then, on the opening of 

 spring, the grass immediately recommences its growth, takes full possession 

 of the ground, and prevents weeds from obtaining a foothold. A lawn grown in 

 this way will endure summer drought much better than a spring-sown lawn. 



The "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed has been thoroughly tested 

 by country wide use, for more than half a century. It is the fruit of years 

 of experience and close study of American conditions and is undoubtedly 

 the best for the American climate. It is composed of fine-leaved, dwarf, 

 evergreen grasses, which produce a closely interwoven, firm, deep and elastic 

 turf, that will maintain from year to year, a covering of enduring green. 

 Such results can be obtained only by sowing a combination of grasses, which

arrive at their best during different months of the year, so that the lawn is 

 perpetually covered with verdure. It is impossible, to make a good lawn 

 by sowing seeds of a single variety, such as Kentucky Blue Grass, for ex- 

 ample, which grows very sparsely and loses color in midsummer. Only by 

 sowing an intelligently arranged combination of grasses can a permanent 

 greensward be maintained. 



The quantity required for new lawns is from 5 to 6 bushels per acre. For a 

 plot 10 x 20, or 200 square feet, use 1 quart. For renovating old lawns, use 

 one-half of above quantity. Full instructions in every bag and package. 



The "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed is in reality as cheap as any 

 other, notwithstanding its superior quality, for, while many mixtures on 

 the market weigh only 14 pounds to the bushel, the "Henderson" Lawn 

 Grass Seed weights 20 pounds per measured bushel, being entirely free from 

 chaff and other foreign matter.

Henderson's Lawn Enricher and Top-Dresser 



The constant mowing of grass, and removal of clippings also removes a proportion of digested plant 

 food. Therefore if the luxuriance of a lawn is to be maintained, it must be top-dressed, at least once 

 a ypar with suitable fertilizer. The Henderson Lawn Enricher is a clean odorless lawn dressing which 

 never fails in inducing a rapid and rich green growth. It should be sown broadcast in the spring or fall, 

 and a remarkable improvement will soon be observed. If applied during the summer use half of the 

 quantity and during rainy weather or water in thoroughly with a hose. 



For forming a new lawn a 10-lb. package is sufficient to go over an area of 200 square feet, or 1,000 

 to 1,500 lbs. per acre.
