Henderson's Lawn Grass Seed Mixtures for special purposes and situations 



TOUGH TURF 



For Tennis Courts, Croquet Grounds, Bowling 

 Greens, etc. 



The turt required ior outdoor sports must be closely interwoven, 

 firm, elastic, smooth, and durable to stand the wear and tear. These 

 requirements are met in this mixture, which is composed of fibrous, 

 deep-rooting Grasses that spread and intermingle. The seeds are 

 blended in the proper proportions to form and maintain a tough 

 matted sward, constantly green, even in dry weather. These varieties 

 of Grasses, being low-growing and fine-leaved, require to be sown 

 liberally if a playing turf is desired quickly; not less than one pound 

 should be used for 200 square feet, or 100 to 150 lbs. per acre, although 

 50 per cent more may be used with advantage. Half that quantity 

 will do for renovating. This mixture has been used with great success 

 at the Rumson Polo Fields, also at the Forest Hills Tennis Courts, 

 the great sport centers for Tennis, and numerous other playing fields.

TERRACE SOD 



This is a special mixture of Grasses 

 best suited for sowing on terraces, 

 embankments and hillsides; Grasses 

 that produce long, strong, spreading 

 roots, thus preventing heavy rains 

 from washing them out; that will 

 withstand drought, thrive 011 shallow 

 soils, and at the same time produce a 

 rich, velvety-green turf throughout 

 the season. 



Sow seed at the rate of 1 lb. for 

 200 sq. ft.; 5 lbs. for 1000 sq. ft. 



SHADY NOOK 



The Ideal Mixture for Shaded Areas 



(See Color Plate) 



On nearly all lawns there are unsightly bare spots under the shade 

 of trees, which have baffled all efforts to get into Grass, but with 

 this mixture there need be no further difficulty. It is a combination 

 of fine, dwarf growing, evergreen varieties, which in their wild or 

 natural state are to be found growing in the woods or other sheltered 

 and shaded spots. Ground that has been densely shaded by trees is 

 frequentl}' "sour," and if the drainage is defective it is apt to be 

 covered with moss and coarse Grasses. In such cases an application 

 of slaked lime, at the rate of one hundred pounds to each thousand 

 square feet, or two tons to the acre, is an excellent corrective and 

 sweetener, but the moss should be first raked off. Sow seed at the 

 rate of 1 lb. for 200 sq. ft.. 5 lbs. for 1,000 sq. ft. 



Price, 1/2 lb., 40c; lb., 70c; 3 lbs., $2.00; 5 lbs., $3.25;

SPECIAL "BENT FORMULA" 



It Makes Every Lawn Like a Putting Green 



(See Color Plate) 



A combination of the finest recleaned Grasses, using as a basis for 

 this mixture the imported and domestic Bent Grasses which are so 

 largely used in the finer Putting Greens of today. 



A lawn seeded with this mixture and properly cared for will in 

 truth make every lawn a Putting Green. On a lawn of this type. 

 Clock Golf and other lawn games may be enjoyably played. 



It is imperative in maintaining a lawn of this type, that the grass 

 should be kept cut short and well rolled all through the season. Starva 

 tion of the grass plants is the most frequent cause of unsatisfactory 

 lawns, and grass needs constant small applications of fertilizer and 

 plenty of water to maintain a perfect lawn. 



We advise seeding at the rate of one pound to cover a space of 10 x 20 

 or 200 square feet. 



Price, V 2 lb., 50c; lb., 95c; 5 lbs., $4.50; 10 lbs., $8.50; 

 25 lbs., $20.00; 100 lbs., $70.00; transportation paid. 



There is a Special Henderson Grass Seed Mixture for Every 

 Purpose. Our pamphlet "How to Make a Lawn," is enclosed 

 in every package or bag. It tells how to make a new lawn, re- 

 renovate an old one.
