The "Henderson" lawn grass seed mixture has been thoroughly tested 

 by country-wide use for more than half a century. It is the fruit of 

 years of experience and close study of American conditions and is 

 undoubtedly the best for tlie American climate. By its use a deep green, 

 velvety sward, free from climips, can be produced in from four to six 

 weeks' time. 



The "HENDERSON" LAWN GRASS SEED is an intelligently 

 arranged combination of fine-leaved, dwarf Grasses, which are at their 

 best during different months of the year, thus keeping a lawn constantly 

 covered with enduring green. It is impo.ssible to make an enduring 

 lawn by sowing seed of a single variety, which will only grow vigorously 

 for a portion of the year. Kentucky Blue Grass, for instance, which is 

 sometimes recommended for lawns, grows but sparsely during mid- 

 summer, is slow to form a close sward, requiring two years to do that, 

 and loses color in hot weather. Besides its country-wide use on the 

 home grounds of the people. The "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed has 

 invarial)ly been chosen to produce lawns at many of the most famous 

 institutions In this country. It has been used for a number of years with 

 excellent results, on the Parade Grounds at the United States Military 



Academy at West Point, N. Y. The refreshing green and the close 

 turf, which attract the attention of the hundreds of thousands who 

 annually visit the baseball grounds in this country, particularly the 

 Polo Grounds in New York and Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, where pro- 

 duced with the "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed. At the various Inter- 

 national Expo.sitions held in the United States — notably the Centennial 

 at Philadelphia, the Columbian at Chicago, the Pan-American at 

 Buffalo, the Louisiana Piu-chase at St. Louis, the Lewis & Clark at 

 Portland, and the Jamestown at Norfolk — gold medals were awarded 

 to lawns made with the "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed.

PLEASED CUSTOMERS PRAISE THE "HENDERSON" LAWN GRASS SEED 



"On March 30lh I sowed a half bushel of your Lawn Grass Seed Mixture, using 

 some fertilizer and preparing the soil thoroughly. On May 6th I had the pleasure 

 of mowing a quite respeciahle looliing lawn where it had been sheltered from the 

 north winds; and on May Wth I mowed the entire surface. .Six weeks after sowi7ig 

 the seed I have a good lawn. Part of the credit I assume because of good preparation 

 but most of the credit is due your most excellent seeds. All this happened in Flat- 

 bush where at this writing other seeded lawns are only showing a few patches of 

 young grass coming through. I have a covered soil, and llie ^rass prevents it from 

 cusling this dry weather. Thanks to you and your seeds for placing me in this 

 tnviable position . ' '

 VA bushels more for our East Ward School.
