THE HENDERSON LAWN ENRICHER. 



ODORLESS— QUICK ACTING. 



For New and Old Lawns, Tennis Courts, Putting Greens, etc., Quickly induces 

 a Luxuriant Rich Green Growth. 



The constant mowing of grass, and removal of clippings also removes a pro- 

 portion of digested plant food. Therefore if the luxuriance of a lawn is to be 

 maintained, it must be top dressed, at least once a year, with suitable fertilizer. 

 The Henderson Lawn Enricher is a clean and odorless lawn dressing which 

 never fails in inducing a rapid and rich green growth. It should be sown broad- 

 cast in the spring or fall, and a remarkable improvement will soon be observed. 

 If applied during the summer use half of the quantity and during rainy weather 

 or water in thoroughly with a hose. The use of "Henderson Lawn Enricher" 

 entirely does away with the old practice of top-dressing lawns with stable manure 

 so obiectionable on account of unsightliness, disagreeable odors, so often full 

 of weed seeds. 



Quantity Required. — For forming a new lawn a 10-pound package is sufficient 

 to go over an area of 300 square feet, or 1000 to 1500 pounds per acre, or a smaller 

 quantity for renovating an old lawn. Apply broadcast with machine or by hand as 

 evenly as possible on a quiet day and preferably just before rain. If applied during 

 the summer use half the quantity and during rainy weather or water in thoroughly 

 with a hose.
