"Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed. 



PRODUCES ENDURING TURF THAT WITHSTANDS SUMMER DROUGHTS. 



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

 the benfits 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 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 the 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 onlv 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 by The "Henderson" 

 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 bushel, The "Henderson" 

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

 matter. (See engraving.) Full instructii its in every hag and package. 



Prices, 30c. quart, $1.00 for 4 quarts, $1.75 peck, $6.00 bushel of 20 lbs.
