Henderson's Golf Course 



GRASS SEED MIXTURES 



For Fair Greens, Putting Greens, Tees and Bunkers, Laying Down New 

 Courses and Renovating Old Ones 



CORRECT COMBINATIONS FOR ALL SOILS 



We have had great experience -n-ith, and have given much atten- 

 tion and close study to Grasses suitable for Golf Links. When Golf 

 first became a popiilar game in this countrj' and when 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 countrj', for trial and report. As 

 a result of these experiences we made up our now well-known mix- 

 tures— HENDERSON'S GOLF COURSE GRASS SEED MIX- 

 TURES both for Putting Greens and Fair Greens. They are un- 

 doubtedly the best for the American Climate and American Con- 

 ditions, being composed principally of native Grasses, mingled T\ith 

 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 success- 

 fully rivaled. Henderson's Golf Course mixtures are made up to 

 suit the grounds and soil to be seeded, low and wet, high and drj-, 

 sandj' 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. 



Note. — The best of seed is necessarj' for use on Golf Courses and 

 all grounds devoted to sport. We deal only in the highest grade, and 

 before offering tliis seed to our customers for sale it is thoroughly 

 recleaned by the most modern seed-cleaning machinery in America. 

 These are not ordinary fanning mills, but machines with an even 

 and strong air suction — equal at aU points — which is quite a different 

 thing from a blast._ By this process we are enabled to eliminate the 

 rubbish, and light imperfect seeds, lea\-ing only sound perfect seeds.

OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO GREENS COMMITTEES 

 OF GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUBS 



Our long and varied experience in the establishing and improving 

 of turf for Putting Greens and Fairways in practically everj- state in 

 the L^nion and Canada, enables us to offer expert ad-\-ice to clubs 

 desirous of impro-s-ing existing Fair and Putting Greens, or where 

 new Greens are to be seeded. Soils of different textures, such as 

 sandy loam or those of a clayey nature, moist or drj-, require special 

 combinations. The quantity of each grass requires to be carefully 

 regulated to suit the different soil conditions, so as to establish the 

 most permanent and best plaj-ing turf. Owing to the prolonged 

 drought of last summer both here and in Eiirope, mam' of the Fancy, 

 Natural Grasses used on Golf Courses are scarce and dear, such as — 

 German Red Fescue (Festuca rubra) , Che'O'ing's New Zealand Fescue 

 (Festuca Chewings), Fine Leaved Sheeps Fescue (Festuca ovina 

 tenuifolia), South German Creeping Bent (Agrostis stolonifera) 

 Rough-Stalked Meadow Grass (Poa trivialis). Crested Dogstai\ 

 (Cj'nosurus cristatu-s). Wood Meadow Grass (Poa nemoraUs). 



While the jdeld of seed is small due to the long continued drought 

 the quality is excellent. The Grass Seeds we offer are the most 

 perfect samples that can be produced and for purity, genuineness 

 and high germinating capacity, are unequaled. 



Our reputation as the distributors of the highest grade of Grass 

 Seeds is well known and generally recognized. 



Let us help you solve your tm-f problems, our experience and 

 ad\'ice is at your ser^'ice.
