Henderson's Shady Nook 

 Lawn Grass Seed 



For unsightly bare spots under the shade of 

 trees, which have baffled all efforts to get into 

 grass. It is a combination of fine, dwarf growing 

 evergreen varieties, which in their wild or 

 natural state are to be found growing in shaded 

 spots. Ground that has been densely shaded by 

 trees is frequently "sour," and if the drainage 

 is defective it is apt to be covered with moss and 

 coarse- grasses. In such cases an application 

 of slaked lime, at the rate of one bushel to each 

 thousand square feet, or forty bushels to the 

 acre, is an excellent corrective and sweetener, 

 but the moss should be first removed by the use 

 of a sharp rake. 



Price, delivered in the U. S., 60c. qt., 

 $2.00 for 4 qts., $3.50 pk., $12.00 bu. of 20 lbs. 



Henderson's Sunny South 

 Lawn Grass Seed 



It is especially prepared for the South, and 

 contains the best grass- 

 es that are by nature 

 adapted for hot, dry 

 situations. In the South, 

 Bermuda Grass is fre- 

 quently used, but it re- 

 mains green only in the 

 summer months, turn- 

 ing brown in winter; but 

 by using this mixture, 

 and with some care and 

 attention to watering, 

 an all -the -year -round 

 lawn can be maintained 

 in Southern States where 

 grasses do not usually 

 th-ive.

Henderson's Terrace 

 Sod Lawn Grass Seed 



A special mixture of 

 grasses, suited for sowing on 

 terraces, embankments and 

 hillsides. These grasses pro- 

 duce long, strong, spreading 

 roots, thus preventing heavy 

 rains from washing out the 

 soil. These grasses will with- 

 stand drought and exposure, 

 thrive on shallow soils, and 

 at the same time produce a 

 green turf throughout the 

 season. There need be no 

 fear of introducing coarse 

 grasses into the lawn by 

 sowing this mixtuie, for, 

 though strong-rooted, the 

 grasses are fine-leaved, like 

 those used in the "Henderson 

 Lawn Grass" mixture. 



Price, delivered in the 

 U. S., 50c. qt., $1.65 for 

 4 qts., $3.00 pk., $10.00 

 bu. of 20 lbs. 



Henderson's Seaside 

 Lawn Grass Seed 



A-long our seacoast there are many beautiful 

 summer homes with such sandy saline sur- 

 roundmgb that a turf of lawn grasses cannot be 

 produced We have made up a mixture of 

 special grasses to thrive under these trying con- 

 ditions and offer it for the benefit of those who 

 m i\ he h xving trouble in getting grass to grow. 

 Our Seaside mixture will make a good turf of 

 green on sand where the finer grasses will not 

 thrn e, though of course, the sand must be top- 

 dressed with not less than 2 inches of soil before 

 even our Seaside Grass Seed is sown, to enable 

 the young grass to get a start. Use at the rate 

 of one quart for 200 square feet; 5 to 6 bushels 

 per acre. 



Price, delivered in U. S., 45c. qt., $1.50
