at the various international exhibi 

 tions held in the United States, ^j 

 notably the Centennial at Philadel- 

 phia, the Columbian at Chicago, the 

 Pan-American at Buffalo, the Lewis & 

 Clark at Portland, and the Jamestown 

 Exposition at Norfolk. 



At all these great industrial congresses, 1 ip||$j||j 

 it has been our privilege to furnish the WssS 

 emerald setting for many of the beautiful wfff 

 edifices designed by the great architects of %J1| 

 the world. The brilliant color scheme adopted Wm 

 for these buildings — white, red and yellow — ■ gj 

 made these spacious green lawns most accep- 

 table and restful to the eye, attracted the atten- 

 tion of every visitor, and made the "Henderson 

 Lawn Grass Seed famous throughout the country. 

 As usual at all these great undertakings every- 

 thing was delayed to the last moment, and we 

 were required to produce the lawns in a few 

 weeks' time. We successfully accomplished this 

 in four to five weeks and, as the superintendent 

 of grounds at Jamestown Exposition remarked, "It 

 was a miracle in lawn-making." We have been 

 awarded numerous Gold Medals and Diplomas, but 

 we value still more the thousands of letters of com- 

 mendation we have received from customers in every 

 state of the Union. 



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 renovating old lawns, use one-fourth 

 to one-half of above quantities. Full instructions in every bag and package. 



The "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed is in reality as cheap as any other, notwithstanding its superior quality, for, while many mixtures on the market weigh only 14 

 pounds to the bushel, the "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed weighs 20 pounds per measured bushel, being entirely free from chaff and other foreign matter.

The fall season is especially favorable 

 i to the growth of young grasses, for at 

 ■ this season the seeds have the benefit of 

 Sjf thoroughly warmed ground and a copious 

 m rainfall, which hasten germination and 

 f enable the young grasses to become firmly 

 f established before winter sets in. Then, on 

 the opening of spring, the grasses immedi- 

 ately recommence their growth, take full 

 possession of the ground, and prevent weeds 

 from obtaining a foothold. A lawn grown in 

 this way will endure summer drought much 

 better than a spring-sown lawn. 

 The "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed has been 

 thoroughly tested by country-wide use, for more 

 than half a century. 



It is the fruit of years of experience and close study 



of American conditions, and is undoubtedly the 



best for the American climate. It is composed of 



fine-leaved, dwarf, evergreen grasses, which produce 



a closely interwoven, firm, deep and elastic turf, 



that will maintain from year to year a covering of 



enduring green. Such results can be obtained only by 



sowing a combination of grasses, which arrive at their 



best during different months of the year, so that the 



lawn is perpetually covered with verdure. It is impossible 



to make a good lawn by sowing seeds of a single variety, 



such as Kentucky Blue Grass, for example, which grows 



very sparsely and loses color in midsummer. Only by 



sowing an intelligently arranged combination of grasses can 



a permanent greensward be maintained.
