HENDERSON'S 



'Athletic Field" Grass Seed Mixture 



In the Playground or. Stadium — For World's Series or in Other Baseball, Football or Atnletic Fields — 



This Mixture wiU Produce a Perfect Turf 



The above photograph taken during one of the 1923 World Series Games at 

 the Polo Grounds, New York, shows the excellent condition of the turf at the 

 end of the baseball season. The constant grilling of hard foot wear on an Ath- 

 letic, Baseball or Football Field, demands a turf composed of a combination 

 of deep-rooting, fine-leaved grasses, possessing estraordinary resistant and tena- 

 cious qualities. These qualities are obtained with Henderson's Athletic Field 

 Grass Seed Mixture. ' 



By conducting an Extensive Series of Experiments at our Trial Groimds 

 with combinations of grasses, and subjecting the resulting turf to a treatment 

 as rigorous as it would receive on any Athletic Field, we have developed a 

 mixture of grass seeds upon which we_caii confidently stake our reputation of 

 seventy-seven years. 



HENDERSON'S POLO FIELD ?xY||f|g 



Used on the Leading American Polo Fields 



This is a special blend of deep-rooting, fine-leaved, turf-forming Grasses, 

 especially suited for Polo Grounds. This mixture forms a thick, strong 

 enduring turf that will stand any amount of hard usage without sho«-ing 

 wear and tear. It grows quickly, and if soil and conditions are at all 

 favorable, ■n'ith attention to rolling and mowing, should be ready. for, hard 

 use in eight weeks from sowing. 



The refreshing green and the close turf — which have attracted the atten- 

 tion of hundreds of thousands of patrons of the principal Polo Grounds of 

 the country — were produced by this special mixture of The Henderson 

 Grass Seed. Among others we may mention, the Polo Grounds at Meadow- 

 brook, where the famous internation.al match was played in .Tune 1914; 

 Newport, Lakewood, Rockaway Hunt, Saratoga, also some of the leading 

 Polo Fields in the West and Middle West. (See engraving.)

HENDERSON'S TOUGH TURF^YIxflE 



For Tennis Courts, Croquet Grounds, etc. 



Henderson's Tough Turf Grass Seed is a blend of Grasses especially 

 smted for the making of Grass Tennis Courts, Croquet Grounds, Bowling 

 Greens, etc. The turf required for outdoor sports must be closely inter- 

 woven, firm, elastic, smooth, and durable to stand the w?ar and tear. These 

 requirements are met in Henderson's Tough Turf Mixture, which is com- 

 posed of filirous, deep-rooting Grasses that spread and intermingle. The 

 seeds are blended in the proper proportions to firm and maintain a tough 

 matted sward, constantly green, even in dry weather. These varieties of 

 Grasses, being low-growing and fine-leaved, require to be sown liberally if 

 a playing turf is desired quickly; not less than one quart should be used'for 

 300 square feet, or five bushels per acre, although 50 per 3ent, more may be 

 used with advantage; half that quantitv will do for renovating. 



Price, delivered free in the U. S., 45c. qt., $1.50 for 4 qts., $2.75 peck of 

 5 lbs., $10.00 bu. of 20 lbs. 



Henderson's Athletic Field Grass Seed Mixture produces a close, compact

 The. grasses are fine-leaved, deep-rooting and of an attractive, refreshing 

 green. The seed; if sown under proper conditions, should form a turf, ready 

 for mowing, in about four weeks from somng.

 grass seed mixture ■nnth complete satisfaction. Among which we may mention 

 The Polo Grounds, New York, Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, Yale University, New 

 Haven and Palmer Stadium, Princeton University.
