IT IS USED AND PRAISED BY THOUSANDS FROM MAINE TO CALIFORNIA 



THERE is nothing more attractive than a well-designed house surrounded by artistically treated grounds ; and of the essential 

 features of home grounds none is so important as a beautiful lawn — the rich, green, velvety turf being the heart and life of all. 

 A lawn may be formed by laying turf or by sowing seed. The gain in time by sodding is so slight as to scarcely be worthy of 

 consideration, while the results obtained by both methods are not to be compared. Sods in dry weather leave crevices about which 

 the grass dies out; then the grasses that compose a pasture or roadside sod (generally the kind used for "sodding lawns") are not at 

 all the best sorts for forming a perfect lawn, and will not give a smooth, elegant surface. 



The "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed produces a perfect and 

 enduring lawn of luxuriant richness, with closely interwoven, firm, 

 deep and elastic turf, and it is often ready for cutting in four weeks 

 from time of sowing. This celebrated Lawn Grass is composed of 

 a thoroughly balanced combination of various native and foreign 

 fine-leaved, deep-rooting grasses of interweaving habit, that flourish 

 under our varied conditions, soils and climates, growing during 

 different seasons of the year, so that a deep green, smooth, and vel- 

 vety sward, free from clumps, is maintained from snow to snow, 

 year after year, and without burning brown in summer, its con- 

 stant luxuriance rivaling the famous lawns of Old England. 



The Beautiful Lawns at the Pan-American Exposition, Buffalo, 

 also at the World's Fair in Chicago, the Lewis and Clark Exposi- 

 tion in Portland, Oregon, and the Jamestown Exposition, Norfolk, 

 Va., were produced in less than six weeks' time with The "Hen- 

 derson' ' Lawn Grass Seed, which was awarded the highest 

 medal at these Expositions; but what we prize more than gold 

 medals are the hundreds of letters of praise we have on file from 

 the users of The "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed in almost 

 every State in the Union. 



Regarding Kentucky Blue Grass, so widely advertised as an 

 ideal lawn grass, it has merits and demerits. Where Blue Grass 

 thrives it eventually makes a good lawn, but it is slow to thick- 

 en up, requiring not less than two years to form a good sward, and 

 does not hold its color in hot weather; it will not thrive on acid 

 soils, and a large portion of soil in the lower altitudes, especially 

 in the Coast States, are inclined to acidity. Kentucky Blue Grass 

 is used for lawns on limestone soils, but the results of this or any 

 one grass in no way compare with the beauty and fine velvety tex- 

 ture of lawns made with an intelligently blended mixture of 

 grasses of neat, close, interweaving growth, such as compose the 

 "Henderson" Lawn Grass mixture; and besides, the latter will 

 make a thick, close turf in a few weeks' time. 



The "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed is, relatively speaking, the 

 cheapest seed offered, because, while other lawn grass mixtures 

 on the market will not average over 14 lbs. to the bushel, this, 

 being freed from chaff, weighs 20 lbs. per measured bushel. It 

 is also the Purest, Cleanest and Heaviest lawn grass seed 

 ever offered and it is absolutely free from weed seeds. 



We have made the formation and renovation of lawns a study for years, and thousands of the finest lawns and grass 

 plots in America were obtained by following our instructions and using THE "HENDERSON" LAWN GRASS SEED
