Henderson's Lawn Grass Seed Mixtures for special purposes and situations 



SHADY NOOK 



The Ideal Mixture for Shaded Areas 



(See Color Plate) 



On nearly all lawns there are unsightly bare spots under the shade 

 of trees, which have baffled all efforts to get into Grass but with 

 this mixture there need be no further difficulty. It is a combination 

 of fine, dwarf growing, evergreen varieties, which in their wild or 

 natural state are to be found growing in the woods or other sheltered 

 and shaded spots. Ground that has been densely shaded by trees is 

 frequently "sour," and if the drainage is defective it is apt to be 

 covered with moss and coarse Grasses. In such cases an application 

 of slaked lime, at the rate of one hundred pounds to each thousand 

 square feet, or two tons to the acre, is an excellent corrective and 

 sweetener, but the moss should be first raked off. Sow seed at the 

 rate of 1 lb. for 200 sq. ft., 5 lbs. for 1,000 sq. ft. 



Price, Vi lb., 40c; lb., 70c; 3 lbs., $2.00; 5 lbs., $3.25; 10 lbs $6 00- 

 20 lbs., $11.50; 100 lbs., $55.00; transportation paid in the U. s! 



TOUGH TURF 



For Tennis Courts, Croquet Grounds, Bowling 

 Greens, etc. 



The turf required for outdoor sports must be closely interwoven, 

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

 requirements are met in this mixture, which is composed of fibrous 

 deep-rooting Grasses that spread and intermingle. The seeds are 

 blended m the proper proportions to form 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 pound 

 should be used for 200 square feet, or 100 to 150 lbs. per acre, although 

 50 per cent more may be used with advantage. Half that quantity 

 will do for renovating. This mixture has been used with great success 

 at the Rumson Polo Fields, also at the Forest Hills Tennis Courts, 

 the great sport centers for Tennis, and numerous other playing fields

There is a Special Henderson Grass Seed Mixture for Every Purpose. Our pamphlet "How to Make a Lawn" is enclosed in every 

 pacKage or Dag. it tells how to make a new lawn, or renovate an old one. 



SPECIAL 

 "BENT FORMULA" 



It Makes Every Lawn Like a 

 Putting Green 



(See Color Plate) 



A combination of the finest recleaned 

 Grasses, using as a basis for this mixture the 

 imported and domestic Bent Grasses which 

 are so largely used in the finer Putting Greens 

 of today. 



A lawn seeded with this mixture and prop- 

 erly cared for will in truth make every lawn 

 a Putting Green. On a lawn of this type, 

 Clock Golf and other lawn games may be 

 enjoyably played. 



It is imperative in maintaining a lawn of 

 this type, that the grass should be kept cut 

 short and well rolled all through the season. 

 Starvation of the grass plants is the most 

 frequent cause of unsatisfactory lawns, and 

 grass needs constant small applications of 

 fertilizer and plenty of water to maintain a 

 perfect lawn. 



We advise seeding at the rate of one 

 pound to cover a space of 10 x 20 or 200 

 square feet.
