FOR A NEW LAWN 



1. Prepare the ground as soon as it can be worked. Digging is the 

 first step towards a perfect lawn. Dig deep and loosen the soil thor- 

 oughly. Next, applv Henderson's Lawn Enricher. If the soil is very 

 heavy, or on the contrary very light and sandy, add Humus (see below). 



2. Rake backwards and forwards to break all clods and lumps, 

 also to level the ground. The more the rake is used, the better will 

 be the condition of the soil for seeding. 



3. Rolling is the next step. A water-weight roller weighing about 

 400 pounds, is recommended. Roll in each direction, levelling the 

 ground and smoothing out any undulations. 



4. Before seeding, rake lightly to loosen the soil to a depth of about 

 one-half inch; it is then ready for seeding. When seeding by hand, 

 stake out the lawn into 10 by 10 foot squares, and allow one half pound 

 seed for each square. Always work backwards; this allows you to 

 inspect your work and to add a little seed here and there where needed. 



5. With a HENDERSON FERTILIZER AND SEED DISTRIB- 

 UTOR (see page 124). seeding will be greatly simplified, as a more even 

 distribution of fertilizer or grass seed is obtained. When the grass 

 has reached the height of 1 J^ inches, it is ready for cutting. 



6. Keep the lawn mowed to about 1 inch, with the Henderson Estate 

 Mower. This allows the grass plants to spread and establish a thick, 

 healthy turf. By seeding and feeding the lawn both in spring and fall, 

 a vigorous turf can be maintained at all times. 



LAWN ENRICHER 



For New and Old Lawns, Athletic Fields, Golf Courses, etc. It 

 is Odorless, and Quickly Induces a Luxuriant Green Growth 



The constant mowing of grass and removal of clippings also removes 

 a proportion 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. 



For a new lawn a 10-lb. package is sufficient to cover an area of 

 200 square feet; per acre, 1,000 to 1.500 lbs. Apply broadcast with 

 machine or by hand as evenly as possible on a quiet day and pref- 

 erably just before rain. If 

 applied during the summer, use 

 halt of the quantity and water 

 in thoroughly with a hose.

TO REPAIR OR RENOVATE A LAWN 



Give the entire lawTi a thorough raking with an iron or steel tooth 

 rake. This should be done in spring as soon as the ground is workable, 

 to loosen the topsoil and aerate the lawn, also to remove dead grass, 

 sticks, stones, etc. Next, apply Hydrated Lime at the rate of 10 pounds 

 to 200 square feet. Lime conditions the soil and liberates food ele- 

 ments which the plants are otherwise unable to obtain. 



A few days later, Lawn Enricher should be raked in, in the same pro- 

 portion as the lime. Having thoroughly worked both of these ingre- 

 dients into the ground, reseed with The Henderson Lawn Grass Seed 

 Mixture. Seeding should be done early in spring. This will allow the 

 grass to become well established before hot weather sets in. 



Watering is an important factor, and it cannot be too strongly 

 emphasized that after seeding — particularly if the weather is hot 

 and dry — watering with a fine sprinkler is most essential. Do not 

 sprinkle the lawn lightly, but allow the sprinkler to rotate slowly 

 and thoroughly soak the ground gradually, to obtain a deep water 

 penetration. This will produce quick germination and encourage 

 deep root penetration. An occasional topdressing of half the above 

 mentioned quantity of Henderson's Lawn Enricher thoroughly watered 

 in, during the summer will keep the lawn vigorous and healthy. 



HUMUS Pulverized 



Nature's Product for Enriching Lawns and Gardens 



Humus is not a chemical fertilizer, but a natural organic substance 

 consisting of deposits of decomposed vegetable matter that has been 

 accumulating for countless ages. 



Pulverized Humus is black in color, it is easy to apply, and serves 

 many functions in the soil. It loosens heavy clayey soils, and pro- 

 motes aeration. It increases the moisture-absorbing power of light, 

 sandy soils and corrects mechanical condition of medium soils. 



Pulverized Humus is abso- 

 lutely odorless and is therefore 

 very desirable for starting seed- 

 lings indoors, also for potting 

 bulbs and other house plants.
