HENDERSON'S 



"SHADY NOOK" 



LAWN GRASS SEED. 



On nearly all lawns there are unsightly bare spots 

 under the shade of trees, which have baffled all efforts 

 to get into grass, but with this mixture there need be no 

 further difficulty. It is a combination of fine, dwarf 

 growing, evergreen varieties, which in their wild or 

 natural state are to be found growing in the woods or 

 other sheltered and 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 bog grasses. In such cases an applica- 

 tion 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 free in the U. S., 35 cts. qt. $1.25 for 

 4 qts., $2.00 pk., $7.00 bus. of 20 lbs. 



''The Vestry has authorized me to order as enclosed, 

 finding nothing but your 'Shady Nook' grass grows under 

 our great elms."

HENDERSON'S 



"TERRACE SOD" 



LAWN GRASS SEED. 



A special mixture of grasses best suited for sowing on terraces, embankments 

 and hillside; grasses that produce long, strong, spreading roots, thus preventing 

 heavy rains from washing them out; that will withstand drought and exposure, 

 thrive on shallow soils, and at the same time produce a rich, velvety green turf 

 throughout the season. There need be no fear of introducing coarse grasses 

 into your lawn by sowing this mixture, for, though strong-rooted the grasses 

 are equally as fine-leaved as those used in the "Henderson Lawn Grass" mixture. 



Price, delivered free in the U. S., 35c. qt., $1.25 for 4 qts., $2.00 pk., $7.00 

 bus. of 20 lbs. 



"your ' Terrace Sod' lawn grass seed has made our terraces beautiful and green, 

 and it has bound the soil so firmly that even excessive rains have not caused a wash- 

 out. ALFRED DONNELLY. Gardener to C. H. Mackay, Esq., Roslyn N Y

Henderson's "SUNNY SOUTH" 



LAWN GRASS SEED. 



It is especially prepared for the South, and contains all the best grasses that 

 are by nature adapted for hot, dry situations. In the South, Bermuda grass 

 is frequently used, but it remains green only in the summer months, turning 

 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 grasser do not usually thrive. 



Price, delivered free in the U. S., 35c. qt., $1.25 for 4 qts., $2.00 pk., $7.00 

 bus. of 20 lbs. 



"/( may interest you to knnv that your Sunny South lawn grass which we have 

 on one side of our yard is full and green, showing no effect from the heat and long 

 drought. It looks far better than the Bermuda grass on a neighboring lawn."

Henderson's "SEASIDE" 



LAWN GRASS SEED. 



Along our seacoast there are many beautiful summer homes and resorts with 

 such sandy saline surroundings that a turf of the favorite lawn grasses cannot 

 be Droduced. We have so often made up a mixture of special grasses to thrive 

 under these trying conditions that we have concluded to offer it for the benefit 

 of others who may be having the same "trouble in getting grass to grow." 

 Our "Seaside" mixture will make a good turf of green on sand where the finer 

 grasses are not so likely to thrive, 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, after which the long roots — 

 peculiar to the varieties we use in this mixture — drive down deeply in the sand 

 and remain permanently self-sustaining, if attention is given to sprinkling dur- 

 ing dry weather. Use at the. rate of one quart for 3oo square feet; 5 bushels 

 per acre. 



Price, delivered free in the U. S., 25c. qt., 75c. for 4 qts., $1.25 pk., $4.50 bus. 



"My small lawn produced from your Seaside Grass Seed has been most salisfac 

 considering the extremely sandy soil." FRANK H. COLE. Asbury Park. N. J.
