"Special Bent Formula" c s^l s 



MAKES A LAWN AS SMOOTH AS A PUTTING GREEN 



A Bent grass lawn can be established as fine in texture as a Putting 

 Green by seeding with this mixture which is composed of Bent 

 Grasses. Red Top and Chewings Fescue. It is necessary to have the 

 soil in proper condition, loamy and well fertilized, applying Sulphate 

 of Ammonia several times during the year at the rate of one-half 

 pound to cover 100 square feet. Mix the sulphate with soil, and 

 water in well after applying. This will keep the soil in condition to 

 feed the bent grasses. We advise seeding at the rate of one pound 

 to cover a space of 10x30 or 300 square feet Price, transporta- 

 tion paid In the I . S„ $1.25 per lb.; 5 lbs. $5.50; 20 lbs. $20.00;

 apt to be covered with moss and 

 coarse grasses. In such eases an 

 application of slaked lime, at the rate

 excellent corrective and sweetener,

Henderson's "Terrace Sod" 

 Lawn Grass Seed 



A special mixture of grass, suited 

 for sowing on terraces, embankments 

 and hillsides. These grasses produce 

 long, strong, spreading roots, thus 

 preventing heavy rains from washing 

 out the soil. These grasses will with- 

 stand drought and exposure, thrive 

 on shallow soils, and at the same time 

 produce a green turf throughout the 

 season. There need be no fear of 

 introducing coarse grasses into the 

 lawn by sowing this mixture, for, 

 though strong-rooted, the grasses are 

 fine-leaved.

Henderson's "Sunny South" 



Lawn Grass Seed 



It is especially prepared for the South, and contains the best grasses 

 that are by nature adapted for hot. dry situations. In the South, 

 Bermuda Grass is frequently used, but it remains green only in the 

 summer months, turning brown in winter; but by using this mixture, 

 and with some care and attention to watering, an all-the-year-round 

 lawn can be maintained in Southern States where grasses do not 

 usually thrive. (Sec illustration.)

Henderson's "Seaside" 



Lawn Grass Seed 



Along our seaeoast there are many beautiful summer homes with 

 such sandy saline surroundings that a turf of lawn grasses cannot be 

 produced. We have made up a mixture of special grasses to thrive 

 under these trying conditions and offer It for the benefit of those who 

 may be having trouble in getting grass to grow. Our Seaside mixture 

 will make a good turf of green on sand where the finer grasses will not 

 thrive, though of course, the sand must be top-dressed with not less 

 than 2 inches of soil before even our Seaside Grass Seed is sown, to 

 enable the young grass to get a start. Use at the rati! of one quart for 

 200 square feet ; 5 to (i bushels per acre.
