"Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed. 



: - SOWN IN THE FALL 



PRODUCES ENDURING TURF THAT WITHSTANDS SUMMER DROUGHTS. 



When sown in the Fall, the best time being the Tatter part of August or the early part of September 

 the benefits of a warm soil copious rainfall and lessening temperature are to be had. These conditions 

 insure a better germination a higher percentage of the survival of the grasses which start into growth, 

 and a stronger and healthier growth because of these conditions the crop of weeds which always ap- 

 pears in freshly cultivated land will be lighter. 



The "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed is composed of fine-leaved, dwarf Grasses, which produce 

 closely interwoven, deep and elastic turf that maintains from year to year lawns of enduring green. 

 ; This continuous covering of verdure is obtained by including in the mixture Grasses which arrive at 

 . ^ their best during different months of the year, one variety constantly succeeding another. It is im- 

 possible to make an enduring lawn by sowing seeds of a single variety which will only grow vigorously 

 during a portion of the year. Kentucky Blue Grass, for instance — which is sometimes recommended 

 ; for lawns — grows but sparsely during midsummer, besides losing color during hot weather, when it 

 becomes a pale, yellowish green. The smooth and velvety sward produced b}^ The "Hendersons" 

 Lawn Grass Seed remains at all times a dark green, rich and luxuriant. 



The "Henderson" Lawn Grass is in reality as cheap as any other, notwithstanding its superior 

 { ■ ■ quality. For while many mixtures on the market weigh only 14 lbs. to the bushels, The "Henderson" 



I J Lawn Grass Seed weighs 20 lbs. per measured bushel, being entirely free from chaff and other foreign
