LAWN ON THE ESTATE OF MR. FREDERICK T. BONHAM, RIVERSIDE, CONN. 1935 GRAND AWARD WINNER IN CLASS D PROPERTIES. NEW YORK HERALD 



TRIBUNE GARDEN COMPETITION. THIS AND OTHER LAWNS ON THE PROPERTY WERE MADE WITH THE HENDERSON LAWN GRASS SEED. 



The Most Beautiful Lawns in America 



are made with 



THE "HENDERSON" LAWN GRASS SEED 



It Produces a Carpet of Unrivalled Emerald Green and In Four Weeks from Sowing It 



Is Ready For Mowing 



A good lawn is unquestionably the most beautiful and most 

 essential feature of the home grounds; or of any landscape de- 

 velopment. Nothing else can set off the architectural beauty of 

 a building to better advantage than a well-made, well-kept lawn. 

 A beautiful lawn is not only valuable from an aesthetic view- 

 point, or because it promotes pride of ownership; but, it also 

 has intrinsic value, actually increasing the value of the property 

 upon which it grows. 



A lawn made with THE "HENDERSON" LAWN GRASS 



SEED is practically permanent. Cus- 

 tomers tell us that lawns made with 

 this mixture twenty or more years ago 

 are as beautiful today as when they 

 were first made. 



It should be borne in mind when 

 considering the making of a lawn that 

 the cost of the seed represents only a 

 small part of the actual investment. 

 The labor cost is usually far in excess 

 of the cost of the seed. It is therefore

false economy to save a few cents by buying a mixture of grass 

 seeds obtained from a questionable source, only to be obliged to 

 endure the annoyance and expense of continually repatching a 

 weedy, irregular turf and perhaps being forced to do the entire 

 work over again in a short time. 



Henderson's celebrated Lawn Grass Seed Mixture has been 

 thoroughly tested by country-wide use during three-quarters of 

 a century. It is the fruit of years of our personal experience 

 and study, coupled with that of many of America's foremost 

 gardeners, who steadfastly maintain 

 and unite with us in saying that it 

 has no supeiior for American condi- 

 tions and the American climate. The 

 rapidity with which it will form a 

 deep green velvety turf, has been the 

 delight of gardeners since its intro- 

 duction in 1847, for, under ordinary 

 conditions, the bare soil will be 

 clothed with an emerald carpet of 

 living green in four weeks' time.
