LAWN GRASS SEEDS 



There is a Special Henderson Grass Seed Mixture for Every Purpose 



SHADY NOOK 



The Ideal Mixture for Shaded Areas 



{See Color Plate Opposite) 



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 com- 

 bination 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 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 hundred pounds 

 to each thousand square feet, or two tons to the acre, is an excellent 

 corrective and sweetner, but the moss should be first raked off. 

 Sow seed at the rate of 1 qt. for 100 sq. ft., 1 peck (5 lbs.) for 800 sq. 

 ft. 5 to 6 bushels per acre. 



Price, transportation paid in the U: S., 60c qt.; $2.00 for 4 qts.; 

 $3.50 per peck of 5 lbs.; $6.50 per H bu. of 10 lbs.; $12.00 per bu. 

 of 20 lbs.; $50.00 per 100 lbs. 



SEASIDE 



Along our seacoast there are many beautiful summer homes and 

 resorts with such sandy saHne surroundings and poor soil, that a 

 turf of the favorite lawn Gras.ses cannot be produced. We have so 

 often made up a mixture of special Grasses to thrive under these 

 trying conditions that we have concludted to offer it for the benefit 

 of others who may be having the same "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, after which the long roots — peculiar to the varieties 

 we use in this mixture — drive down deeply in the sand and remain 

 permanently self-sustaining, if attention is given to sprinkling 

 during dry weather. Sow seed at the rate of 1 qt. for 100 sq. ft.; 

 1 peck (5 lbs.) for 800 sq. ft. ; 5 to 6 bushels per acre. 



Price, transportation paid in the U. S., 50c qt.; $1.65 for 4 qts.; 

 $3.00 per pk.; $5.00 per H bu. of 10 lbs.; $9.00 per bu. of 20 lbs.; 

 $40.00 per 100 lbs. 



SUNNY SOUTH 



It is especially prepared for the South, and contains all 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. Sow seed at the rate of 1 qt. for 100 sq. ft.; 

 1 peck (5 lbs.) for 800 sq. ft.; 5 to 6 bushels per acre. 



Price, transportation paid in the U. S., 60c qt.; $2.00 for 4 qts.; 

 $3.50 per pk.; $6.00 per J^ bus. of 10 lbs.; $11.00 per bu. of 20 lbs.; 

 $50.00 per 100 lbs.

WHITE DUTCH CLOVER 



An excellent clover for lawns, makes a close compact growth, 

 covering the ground like a carpet. It also prevents the washing 

 out of soil during heavy rains. Thrives well on all soils. 



Price, 30c per }4 lb.; 50c per H lb.; 90c per 1 lb.; 10 lb. lot at 85c 

 per lb. 



TERRACE SOD 



(See Color Plate Opposite) 



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 on shallow soils, and 

 at the same time produce a rich, velvety-green turf throughout the 

 season. There need be no fear of introducing coarse Grasses into 

 your lawn by sowing this mixture, for, though strong-rooted, the 

 Grasses are equally as fine-leaved as those used in the "Henderson 

 Lawn Grass" mixture. 



Sow seed at the rate of 1 qt. for 100 sq. ft.; 1 peck (5 lbs.) for 

 800 sq. ft.; 5 to 6 bushels per acre. 



Price, transportation paid in the IJ. S., 60c qt.; $2.00 for 4 qts.; 

 $3.50 per peck of 5 lbs.; $6.50 per H bu. of 10 lbs.; $12.00 per bu. 

 of 20 lbs.; $50.00 per 100 lbs; 



TOUGH TURF 



For Tennis Courts, Croquet Grounds, Bo\\rling Greens, etc. 



(See Color Plate Opposite) 



The turf required for 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 quart should be used for 100 square feet, or six bushels 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. 



Price, transportation paid in the U. S., SOc per qt.; $1.65 for 4 

 qts.; $3.00 per peck of 5 lbs.; $5.00 per H bu. of 10 lbs.; $9.00 per 

 bu. of 20 lbs.; $40.00 per 100 lbs. 



SPECIAL "BENT FORMULA*' 



It Makes Every Lawn Like a Putting Green 



(See Color Plate Opposite) 



On account of the growing popularity of golf in recent years, the 

 question has many times been put to us by our customers, "Why 

 can't I have a lawn that looks like a Putting Green?" Our answer 

 to this was to make up 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 en joy ably 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. 

 Starvation of the grass plants is the most frequent cause of un- 

 satisfactory lawns, and grass needs constant small applications of 

 fertilizer and plenty of water to maintain a perfect lawn. 



Also, every spring apply a dressing of Henderson's Lawn Enricher. 

 Broadcast this, using ten pounds for each 200 square feet, and 

 water it in thoroughly with a hose. 



We advise seeding at, the rate of one pound to cover a space of 

 10 X 20 or 200 square feet. 



Price, transportation paid in the U. S. $1.50 per lb.; 5 lbs. $6.50; 

 20 lbs. $22.00; 100 lbs. lots and upward $90.00 per 100 lbs.
