GRASS SEED 

 MIXTURE 



A Perfect Mixture for Athletic, Baseball and Football Fields 



6650 



The turf o£ an Athletic, Baseball, or Football Field, in order to with- 



stand the constant grilling and abuse of hard Tootwear, must be com- 

 posed of a combination of deep-rooting, fine-leaved grasses, possessing extra- 

 ordinary resistant and tenacious qualities. These qualities are obtained with 

 Henderson's Athletic Field Grass Seed Mixture. 



By conducting an Extensive Series of Experiments at our Trial Grounds 

 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 can confidently stake our reputation of 

 seventy-six years. 



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

 and densely matted turf of great resiliency, though free from slipperiness. 

 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 sowing. 



Many of the leading Athletic, Baseball, and Football Fields are using 

 this grass seed mixture with complete satisfaction. Among which we may 

 mention The Polo Grounds, New York, Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, Yale Univer- 

 sity, New Haven and Palmer Stadium, Princeton University. 



Sow at the rate of 100 to 150 pounds per acre. 



Price of Henderson's "Athletic Field Grass Mixture," per lb., 50c-; 

 100 lbj., $45.00. Write for special prices on larger quantities. 



"Last year I purchased your 'Athletic Field Crass seed Mixture ,' and, after 

 twenty-five years' use of different Grass Seeds, I have found none that could com- 

 pare with yours. 1 highly recommend it to any one."

HENDERSON'S POLO FIELD ^Mrfii 



Used on the Leading American Polo Fields 



gg kq 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 

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

 favorable, with attention to rolling and mowing, should be ready for hard usa 

 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 Grasa 

 Seed. Among others we may mention, the Polo Grounds, at Meadowbrook, 

 where the famous international match was played in June, 1911; Newport, 

 Lakewood, Rockaway Hunt, Saratoga, also some of the leading Polo Fields 

 in the.West and Middle West. 



Sow 100 to 150 lbs. per acre, according to soil conditions. 



Price, per lb., 60c, 100 lbs., $45.00. 



HENDERSON'S TOUGH TURF g^lfff? j 



For Tennis Courts, Croquet Grounds, etc. 



fifi70 Henderson's Tough Turf Grass Seed is a blend of Grasses especially 

 suited for the making of Grass Tennis Courts, Croquet Grounds, Bowl- 

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

 woven, firm, elastic, smooth, and durable to stand the wear and tear. These 

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

 of fibrous, deep-rooting Grasses that spread and intermmgle. 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 cent, more may be used with 

 advantage; half that quantity- will do for renovating. 



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

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