EVERY LAWN A PUTTING GREEN 
"Special Bent Formula" 
On account of the growing popularity of golf in recent years, the 
question has many times been put to us by our customers, "Why can't 
I have a lawn that looks like a Putting Green." Our answer to this', 
was to make up a combination of the finest re-cleaned grasses, using as 
a basis for this mixture the Bent Grasses which are largely used in 
the finer Putting Greens of today. 
A lawn seeded with this mixture and properly cared for will in truth 
make every lawn a Putting Green. 
It is imperative in maintaining a lawn of this type, that the grass 
should be kept cut short and well rolled all through the season. Starva- 
tion of the grass plants is the most frequent, cause of unsatisfactory 
lawns, and grass needs constant small applications of fertilizer and 
plenty of water to maintain a perfect lawn. 
Also, every spring apply a dressing of Henderson's Lawn Enricher. 
Broadcast this, using five pounds for each 200 square feet, and water 
it in thoroughly with a hose. (See illustration.) 
We advise seeding at the rate of one pound to cover a space of 10x30 
or 300 square feet. Price, transportation paid in the U. S., $1.25 per lb. ; 
5 lbs. $5.50; 25 lbs. $25.00; 100 lbs. lots and upward, $90.00 per 100 lbs. 
Shady Nook 
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 mix- 
ture there need be no further difficulty. It is a combination of fine, 
dwarf growing, evergreen varieties, which in their wild or natural state 
are to be found growing in the woods or other sheltered and shaded 
spots. Ground that has been densely shaded by trees is frequently 
"sour," and if the drainage is defective it is apt to be covered with moss 
and coarse Grasses. In such cases an application of slaked lime, at the 
rate of one hundred pounds to each thousand square feet, or t wo tons 
-to the acre, is an excellent corrective and sweetener, but the moss 
should be first raked off. (See illustration.)

Sunny South 
It is especially prepared for the South, and contains all the best 
Grasses that are by nature adapted for hot , dry situations. In the South, 
Bermuda Grass is frequently used, but it remains green only in the 
summer months, turning brown in winter; but by using this mixture, 
and with some care and attention to watering, an all-the-year-round 
lawn can be maintained in South States where Grasses do not usually 
thrive.

Terrace Sod 
A special mixture of Grasses best suited for sowing on terraces, embankments 
and hillsides; Grasses that produce long, strong, spreading roots, thus preventing 
heavy rains from washing them out; that will withstanding 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 introducing coarse Grasses 
into your lawn by sowing this mixture, for, though strong-rooted, the Grasses are 
equally as fine-leaved as those used in the "Henderson Lawn Grass" mixture.

Seaside 
Along our seacoast 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." Our 
"Seaside" 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 "Seaside" 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 sane and remain per- 
manently self-sustaining, if attention is given to sprinkling during dry weather.
