HENDERSON'S 



HENDERSON S GOLF COURSE GRASS SEED 



Hendersons 'Athletic Field" 



Grass Seed Mixture 



For Baseball, Polo, Football, Cricket Grounds, etc., etc. 



This is a special blend of deep-rooting, fine-leaved, turf-forming Grasses 

 especially suited for Baseball Grounds, Polo Grounds, Cricket Grounds, 

 etc. This mixture forms a thick, strong, enduring turf that will stand any 

 amount of hard usage without showing wear and tear. It grows quickly, 

 and if soil and conditions are at all favorable with attention to rolling 

 and mowing, should be ready for hard use in eight weeks from sowing. 



The refreshing green and the close turf — which have attracted the 

 attention of hundreds of thousands of patrons of the principal Baseball 

 Parks and Polo Grounds of the country — were produced by this special 

 mixture of The Henderson Crass Seed. Among others we may mention 

 the Polo Grounds at Mcadowbrook, where the famous international 

 match was played in June, 1914; Newport, Lakewood, Rockaway Hunt, 

 Saratoga, also some of the leading Baseball Parks in the country, in- 

 cluding the Polo Grounds in New York, Ebbets Field and Washington 

 Park in Brooklyn. 



Sow 100 to 150 lbs. per acre, according to soil conditions. 

 Price, delivered free in the U. S., per lb. 30c, 100 lbs. $25.00. 



A 14-YEAR TEST PROVES ITS VALUE 



"Our Polo Grounds and lawns at Mcadowbrook were laid down 14 years 

 ago with the special mixture of THE HENDERSON 'ATHLETIC 

 FIELD' GRASS SEED MI XT U RE and we have renovated Ihcm from 

 lime to time with the same mixture. We would not use any other brand. 

 The condition of these grounds at all seasons of Ike year is the best possible 

 testimonial to the value of your seed. For forming a springy, yet compact 

 turf, that will withstand the hard usage incidental to the game of polo, it is 

 all that can be desired."

Golf Course Grass Seed 

 Mixtures 



For Fair Greens and Putting Greens. Laying Down 

 New Courses and Renovating Old Ones 



We have had great experience with, and have given much 

 attention and close study to Grasses suitable for Golf Links. 

 When Golf first became a popular game in this country and 

 courses were laid out, it was soon found that many Grasses 

 used with good results on European courses would not thrive 

 in the climate of the United States. 



We then made exhaustive experiments with every known 

 variety of Grass in our trial grounds at Jersey City, N. J., 

 and we also sent samples to various sections of the country 

 for trial and report. As a result of these experiences we made 

 up our now well-known mixtures — HENDERSON'S GOLF 

 COURSE GRASS SEED MIXTURES both for Putting 

 Greens and Fair Greens. They are undoubtedly the best for 

 the AMERICAN CLIMATE and AMERICAN CONDI- 

 TIONS, being composed principally of native Grasses, 

 mingled with a few imported varieties. Many of the finest 

 courses in America today were laid down with these mixtures, 

 and with proper care the finest Putting Greens and Fair 

 Greens in the world can be successfully rivaled. Henderson's 

 Golf Course mixtures are made up to suit the grounds and 

 soil to be seeded, low and wet, high and dry, sandy or clayey, 

 as the case may be, and a description of the soil and notes on 

 climate and the lay of the land should be sent when ordering.

HENDERSON'S 



Tough Turf Grass Seed Mixture 



Henderson's "Tough Turf" Grass Seed is a blend of Grasses especially 

 suited for the making of Grass Tennis Courts, Croquet Grounds, Bowling 

 Greens, etc. The turf required for outdoor sports must be closely inter- 

 woven, firm, elastic, smooth, and durable to stand the wear and tear.^ These 

 requirements are met in Henderson's "Tough Turf" Mixture, which is com- 

 posed of fibrous, deep-rooting Grasses that spread and intermingle. The 

 seeds are blended in the proper proportions to form and maintain a tough 

 matted sward, constantly green, even in dry weather. These varieties' of 

 Grasses, being low-growing and fine-leaved, require to be sown liberally if a 

 playing turf is desired quickly; not less than one quart should be used for 300 

 square feet, or five bushels per acre, although 50 per cent, more may be used 

 with advantage; half that quantity will do for renovating. 



Price, delivered free in the U. S., 30c qt., $1.00 for 4 qts., SI. 75 pk., $6.00 

 bu. of 20 lbs. 



WARNING — The best of seed is necessary for use on all 

 grounds devoted to sport. Years of experience have shown us that the 

 best results are obtained in the A M ERICA N CLIMA TE. and under 

 AMERICA N CONDITIONS by sowing chiefly AMERICAN- 

 GROWN SEEDS. 



"I have a lawn of your beautiful Tough Turf Grass Seed Mixture that 

 attracts the attention of every passerby. It is indeed a beauty."
