The Most Beautiful Lawns in America 



are made with 



The " Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed 



FOUR WEEKS FROM SOWING, IT IS READY FOR MOWING 



This celebrated lawn grass seed mixture has been thoroughly tested 

 bv countrv-wide use for more than half a centurv. IT IS THE 

 FRUIT OF YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND CLOSE STUDY 

 OF AMERICAN CONDITIONS AND IS UNDOUBTEDLY 

 THE BEST FOR THE AMERICAN CLIMATE. By its use 

 a deep, green, velvety sward, free from clumps, can be produced in 

 from four to six weeks' time. 



The "HENDERSON" LAWN GRASS SEED is an intelli- 

 gently arranged combination of fine-leaved, dwarf Grasses, which 

 are at their best during different months of the year, thus keeping 

 a lawn constantly covered with enduring green. It is impossible to 

 make an enduring lawn by sowing seed of a single variety, which 

 will only grow vigorously for a portion of the year. Kentucky Blue 

 Grass, for instance, which is sometimes recommended for lawns, 

 grows but sparsely during midsummer, is slow to form a close sward, 

 requiring two years to do that, and loses color in hot weather. Be- 

 sides its countrv-wide use on the home grounds of the people, the 

 "HENDERSON" LAWN GRASS SEED has invariably been 

 chosen to produce lawns at many of the most famous institutions 



WE COULD FILL MANY PAGES WITH^TESTIMONIALS 



"They can all talk about Lawn Seed, but there is none that can come up to 

 yours I have tried many kinds and Hendersou 's can 't be beaten. 



Mr. GUS J. KRAEMER. Hazel Crest, III.

 recommended it to several and am more than pleased myself.

 from you. ' '

in the country. It has been used for a number of years with ex- 

 cellent results, on the Parade Grounds at the United States Military 

 Academy at West Point, N. Y. (see opposite page). The refreshing 

 green and the close turf which attract the attention of the hundreds 

 of thousands who annually visit the baseball grounds in this country, 

 particularly the Polo Grounds in New York and Ebbets Field in 

 Brooklyn, were produced wit! the "HENDERSON "LAWN GRASS 

 SEED. At the various International Expositions held in the 

 United States — notably the Centennial at Philadelphia, the Colum- 

 bian at Chicago, the Pan-American at Buffalo, the Louisiana Pur- 

 chase at St. Louis, the Lewis & Clark at Portland, and the Jamestown 

 at Norfolk, — gold medals were awarded to lawns made with the 

 "HENDERSON" LAWN GRASS SEED.

 bushel, being practically free from chaff and other foreign matter.

Henderson's Shady Nook 



LAWN GRASS SEED 



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

 of the trees, which have baffled all efforts to get into grass, but 

 with this mixture there need be no further difficulty. It is a combi- 

 nation of fine, dwarf growing, evergreen varieties, which i 

 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 frequently "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 bushel to each thousand square 

 feet, or forty bushels to the acre, is an excellent cor- 

 rective and sweetener, but the moss should be first re- 

 moved by the use of a sharp rake.

"On July 15th we seeded many bare spots'under'thejarge trees

Henderson's Sunny South 



LAWN GRASS SEED 



It is especially prepared for the South, and contains all 

 the best grasses that are by nature adapted for hot, dry situ- 

 ations. In the South, Bermuda Grass is frequently used, but it 

 remains green only in the summer months, turning brown in the 

 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.
