Henderson's Athletic Field 



GRASS SEED MIXTURE 



A Perfect Mixture for Athletic, Baseball and Football Fields 



The turf of an Athletic, Baseball, or Football Field, in order to withstand 

 the constant grilling and abuse of hard footwear, must be composed of a 

 combination of deep-rooting, fine-leaved grasses, possessing extraordinary 

 resistant and tenacious qualities. These qualities are obtained with Hender- 

 son's Athletic Field Grass Seed Mixture. 



By conducting an Extensive Series of Experiments at our Trial Grounds 

 with combinations of grasses, and subjecting the resulting turf to a treatment 

 far more rigorous than it would receive on any Athletic Field, we have 

 developed a mixture of grass seeds upon which we can confidently stake 

 our reputation of seventy-five years. 



Henderson's Athletic Field Grass Seed Mixture produces a close, compact 

 and densely matted turf of great resiliency, though free from slipperiness. 

 The grasses are fine-leaved, deep-rooting and of an attractive, refreshing 

 (jreen. The seed, if sown under proper conditions, should form a turf, ready 

 for play, in about eight weeks from sowing. 



Many of the leading Athletic, Baseball, and Football Fields are using 



this grass seed mixture with complete satisfaction. Among which we may 

 mention The Polo Grounds, New York, Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, and Palmer 

 Stadium, Princeton University. 



The above illustration shows the perfect turf at the Palmer Stadium. 

 The photograph was taken during the Princeton- Yale Football game, 1920, 

 with 50,000 people packed into the Stadium, witnessing the game. 



Sow at the rate of 100 to 1.50 pounds per acre.

"Last year I purchased your 'Athletic Field Grass Seed Mixture' and, after 

 twenty-five years' use of different Grass Seeds, I have found none that could 

 'compare with yours. I highly recommend it to any one and 1 find it abso- 

 lutely satisfactory."

GRASS SEED MIXTURE 



Used on the Leading American Polo Fields

 especially suited for Polo Grounds. This mixture forms a thick, strong 

 enduring turf that will stand any amount of. hard usage without showing 

 wear arid tear. It grows quickly, and if soil and conditions are at all favor- 

 able,- with attention to rolling and mowing, should be ready for hard use in 

 eight weeks from sowing.

 the country — were produced by this special mixture of The Henderson Grass 

 Seed. Among others we may mention, the Polo Grounds, at Meadowbrook,

 Lakewood, Rockaway Hunt, Saratoga, also some of the leading Polo Fields

For Tennis Courts, Croquet Grounds, etc. 



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 composed

 are blended in the proper proportions to form and maintain a :ough, 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 59 per cent, more may be used with 

 advantage; half that quantity will do for renovating.
