Autumn Is the Best Time to Make a Lawn 



The "HENDERSON" Lawn Grass Seed 



Sown in the Fall, produces Enduring Turf which will withstand Summer Droughts 



For a long time we have urged the Fall planting of grass seed, for either the new lawn, or the renovation of the present one, and 

 year after year, the results have shown the wisdom of following the natural way. 



Grass seed planted in the Fall, germinates rapidly, and will attain a strong growth by the time frost comes. Even with the rigor- 

 ous Northern winters there is very little danger of its being injured by the cold weather; in fact, our advice is not to protect it in any 

 way. 



Even before the frost is completely out of the ground, we find that the young grass responds to the first warm davs. Weed 

 seeds from the previous Summer will not start until weeks after the Fall-sown grass has become strong and vigorous enough to with- 

 Btand their more rapid growth; in fact, if it has been planted thickly, the grass will often crowd out the weeds. 



Any lawn will be improved by a light sowing of the appropriate Henderson mixture during early September, together with an 

 application of one of the Henderson fertilizers. You will find a list of our various grass mixtures for particular places on Page 44 and 

 and whether you are going to make a new lawn, or renovate the old, we strongly urge your doing so at once. 



We shall be glad to mail a copy of "How to Make a Lawn," together with our pamphlet, "The Magic Carpet," on application. 



In the latitude of New York, the seed may be sown up to the first of October, farther south later, and farther north up to about 

 September first.
