i^N GRASS 



For More Than Half a Century 



Has Been Used in Laying Down 



THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LAWNS IN AMERICA 



This celebrated lawn grass seed mixture has been thoroughly tested 

 by country-wide use for more than half a centurv. IT IS THE 

 FRUIT OF YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND CLOSE STUDY 

 OF AMERICAN CONDITIONS AND IS UNDOUBTEDLY 

 THE BEST FOR THE AMERICAN CLIMATE. By its use a 

 deep green, velvety sward, free from clumps, can be produced in 

 from four to six weeks' time. 



The "HENDERSON" LAWN GRASS SEED is an intelligently 

 arranged combination of fine-leaved, dwarf Grasses, which are at 

 their best during different months of the year, thus keeping a lawn 

 constantly covered with enduring green. It is impossible to make 

 an enduring lawn by sowing seed of a single variety, which will 

 only grow vigorously for a portion of the year. Kentucky Blue 

 Grass for instance, which is sometimes recommended for lawns, 

 grows but sparsely during midsummer, is slow to form a close sward, 

 requiring two years to do that, and loses color in hot weather. 

 Besides its country-wide use on the home grounds of the people, the 

 "HENDERSON" LAWN GRASS SEED has invariably been 

 chosen to produce lawns at many of the most famous institutions in 

 the country. It has been used for a number of years with 

 excellent results, on the Parade Grounds at the United States 



Military Academy at West Point, N. Y. See Colored Plate opposite. 

 The refreshing green and the close turf which attract the attention 

 of the hundreds of thousands who annually visit the baseball grounds 

 in this country, particularly the Polo Grounds in New York and 

 Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, were produced with the "HENDERSON" 

 LAWN GRASS SEED. At the various International Expositions 

 held in the United States — notably the Centennial at Phila- 

 delphia, the Columbian at Chicago, the Pan-American at Buffalo, 

 the Louisiana Purchase at St. Louis, the Lewis & Clark at 

 Portland, and the Jamestown at Norfolk, — gold medals were 

 awarded to lawns made with the "HENDERSON" LAWN 

 GRASS SEED. 



The "HENDERSON" LAWN GRASS SEED is in reality as 

 cheap as any other, notwithstanding its superior quality. For while 

 manv mixtures on the market are sold at 14 lbs. to the bushel 

 the "HENDERSON" LAWN GRASS SEED is sold at 20 lbs. per 

 bushel, being practically free from chaff and other foreign matter. 

 The quantity required for new lawns is 5 bushels per acre. For 

 a plot 15 x 20, or 300 square feet, use 1 quart. For renovat- 

 ing old lawns, use one-half of above quantities. Full instructions 

 in every bag and package.

' " We have today at Standish Park a charming lawn that would vie in beauty 

 with a well-kept English lawn. The lawn is now about fifty days old, and the 

 seed used was the Henderson Lawn Grass Seed. There is no better seed for a 

 lawn to be found." 



JOHN VAN NESS STAN DISH. LL.D., 

 June 7, 1917. Pres. Park Commission, Galesburg, III. 



" We had a beautiful lawn as the result of the seed we bought from you last 

 fall, and we have recommended Henderson's Lawn Grass Seed to several that 

 have ordered from you." 

 March 21. 1917. Dr. H. K. FULKERSON, Somerset, Ky. 



"Several years ago I used a peck of your lawn grass and secured a perfect 

 lawn in one year." 

 Jan. 29. 1917. Mrs. MILTON CLAPP, Easley, S. C. 



" The grass seed I bought from you last spring made the house look very 

 popular. All the neighbors said we had the best lawn in town." 

 March 20, 1917. PETER VAN DER VIET, Garfield, N. J. 



"Everybody talks about our lawn and don't see how we got such a good stand 

 just planting in June. I told them we got the seed from Peter Henderson (X 

 Co. It is now September and it has been cut five times and is ready to cut 

 again. It is beautiful." 

 Sepl. 26, 1917. Mrs. A. A. SPAUR, Sidney, Mont. 



"I have been getting your best lawn grass mixture from you every year and 

 it has proven most satisfactory. I have had worlds of compliments on my 

 lawn, which I think is the prettiest in Athens. Everybody wants to know how 

 it is done. I simply tell them it is Henderson's seed." 

 Sept. 4, 1917. F. A. LIPSCOMB, Athens. Ga. 



" You may be pleased ia know that I sowed some of your lawn grass seed 

 on the first of June and it is now more than an inch high, just ten days after 

 planting. To say that I am delighted is putting it mildly." 

 June 10, 1917. Mrs. E. A. WENHOLD, Bethlehem. Pa.
