Chicago, 111., Oct. 25th, 1893. 

 e "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed was used on 

 the World's Fair grounds, and it affords me pleasure 

 to say that the quality of the seed wasfirst-class in every 

 resjiect, forming lawns rapidly which stood the droughts 

 of the past summer, making a thick sod, and is more 

 durable than any other we have used.

I HE "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed is the best lawn seed for our American climate, and is composed of 



I various grasses that grow and flourish during different months of the year, so that a rich deep green, velvety lawn is 



V constantly maintained. The " Henderson " Lawn Seed is the result of several years careful experimenting, and is 



unequaled. It is, relatively speaking, the cheapest seed offered, because while the lawn grass mixtures of other seedsmen 



will not average over 14 lbs. to the bushel, the "Henderson" Lawn Seed will weigh from 20 to 21 lb*, per measured bushel. 



Of all the charming features which contributed to the grandeur of the World's Columbian Exposition, not one 



was so universally admired as were the beautiful lawns sown with the "Henderson" Lawn Grass. In that great 



" White City" the velvety lawns were the subject of more flattering encomiums than any single one of the magnificent 



sights. Where possible, the lawns were sown in the fall of 1892, but in most instances it was necessary to wait until 



spring, and several of them were not sown until April, just a few days before the opening of the Fair, yet within six 



weeks from time of sowing, the ground was transformed into velvety lawns, which, notwithstanding the long-continued 



drought of the summer, retained their verdure throughout the entire season. The quantity required for making new lawns is 



5 bushels per acre, or for renovating old lawns, 1 to 2 bushels. For a plot 15 x 20, or 300 square feet, 1 quart is required 



for new, or 1 pint for renovating old lawns. Price, 25c. quart, $1.50 peck, $5.00 bushel. If by mail, add at the rate of 



he. per quart for postage.
