PETER HENDERSON & CO.— LAWN GRASS SEEDS. 



•** MKTUB.E. 



For many years, at the solicitations of custom- 

 ers, we have at various times made up special 

 mixtures of gTasses of varieties best suited for 

 sowing on terraces, railroad embankments and 

 side hills. For this purpose it is necessary to use 

 grasses that will withstand drought and exposure 

 and thrive well on shallow soils. Our experi- 

 ments in this direction have resulted in our ob- 

 taining a combination of grasses which, for the 

 purpose will be found unequalled — grasses that 

 produce strong, spreading roots, thus preventing 

 heavy rains from washing them out after they be- 

 come established, and at the same time produce 

 a rich velvety green turf throughout the season. 



Sow at the rateof I qt. for a plot 15x20 ft. (equal 

 to 300 sq. ft.) or 4 to 5 bushels per acre. Price 

 35c. per qt. ; $2.00 per peck; $7.00 per bush.; if 

 desired by mail, add at the rate of 5c. per qt. for 

 postage. 



Weighs from 20 to 21 lbs. per measured bushel. 

 Other Lawn Mixtures do not average over 14 lbs. to the bush. 



The Purest, Gleanest and Heaviest Lawn Grass Seed Ever Offered. 



THAT the "Henderson" is the finest mixture of Lawn Grass Seed ever off- 

 ered the immense quantity we annually sell is the best proof we can offer. 

 It is the best lawn seed for our American climate, and is composed of various 

 grasses that grow and flourish during different months of the year, so that a rich, 

 deep green, velvety lawn is constantly maintained. The Henderson Lawn 

 Seed is the result of several years' careful experimenting, and as we now offer it 

 the mixture is unequalled. It may not also be generally known that it is, 

 relatively speaking, the cheapest seed offered , because while the lawn grass mix- 

 tures of other seedsmen will not average over 14 lbs. to the bushel, the 

 Henderson Lawn Seed will weigh from 20 to 21 lbs. per measured bushel. 

 The quantity required for making new lawns is 5 bushels per acre, or for 

 renovating old lawns 1 to 2 bushels. For a plot 15x20 or 300 square feet, one 

 quart is required for new lawns, or one pint for renovation. 



Price, 25c. perqt.; $1.50 per peck; $=.00 per bushel. (If by mail, add 

 at the rate of 5c. per quart for postage.) 



Our Lawn Grass Seeds sown in the autumnal produce a fine luxuriant Lawn Early the following season. 



THE HENDERSON LAWN ENRICHER. 



A clean, portable and convenient lawn dressing, for New or Old Lawns, which we have found to be never 

 failing in inducing a rapid and rich green growth. It should be sown broadcast in the spring or fall, though it 

 can be put on during the summer without injury or danger of burning the grass, and a remarkable improvement 

 will soon be observed. The quantity required per acre varies according to the condition of the lawn from 1,000 

 to 1,500 lbs. : for a plot of 15x20 feet or 300 square feet a 10 lb. package will be sufficient, 



Price, 5 lb. package, 30c; 10 lb. package, 50c; 25 lb. bag, fl.25; 50 lb. bag, $2.00; 100 lb. bag, I3.75 

 per ion of 2,000 lbs., $60.00.
