THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LAWNS 

 IN AMERICA 



are made wilh 



THE "HENDEKSON" 

 LAWN GKASS SEED 



IN 4 TO 6 WEEKS' TIME 



It produces a perfect and permanent sward of luxuriant 



richness; and is equally valuable for quickly 



renovating imperfect, old and worn-out lawns 



IT IS USED AND PRAISED BY THOUSANDS FROM MAINE TO CALIFORNIA 



THERE is nothing more attractive than a well-designed house surrounded by artistically treated grounds; and of the 

 essential features of home grounds none is so important as a beautiful lawn — the rich, green, velvety turf being the heart 

 and life of all. A lawn may be formed by laying turf or by sowing seed. The gain in time by sodding is so slight 

 as to scarcely be worthy of consideration, while the results obtained by both methods are not to be compared. Sods in dry 

 weather leave crevices about which the Grass dies out ; then the Grasses that compose a pasture or roadside sod (generally the 

 Icindused for "sodding lawns") are not at all the best sorts for forming a perfect lawn, and will not give a smooth, elegant surface. 



The "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed produces a perfect 

 and enduring lawn of luxuriant richness, with closely inter- 

 woven, firm, deep and elastic turf, and it is often ready for 

 ' M'l^ing in four weeks from time of sowing. This celebrated 

 I . n Grass is composed of a thoroughly balanced corrjbination 

 < 1 \ irious native and foreign fine-lea\-ed, deep-rooting Grasses 

 of interweaving habit, that flourish under our varied condi- 

 tions, soils and climates, growing during different seasons of 

 the year, so that a deep green, smooth, and velvety sward, 

 free from clumps, is maintained from snow to snow, year 

 after year, and without burning brown in summer, its con- 

 stant luxuriance rivaling the famous lawns of Old England. 



The Beautiful Lawns at the Pan-American Exposition, 

 Buffalo, also at the World's Fair in Chicago, the Lewis and 

 Clark Exposition in Portland, Oregon, and the Jamestown 

 Exposition, Norfolk, Va., were produced in less than six weeks' 

 time with The "Henderson" L.^wn Grass Seed, which was 

 awarded the highest medal at these Expositions; but what 

 we prize more than gold medals are the hundreds of letters 

 of praise we have on file from the users of The "Henderson" 

 Lawn Grass Seed in almost every State in the Union, 



Regarding Kentucky Blue Grass, so widely advertised as 

 an ideal lawn Grass, it has merits and demerits. Where 

 Blue Grass thrives it eventually makes a good lawn, but it 

 is slow to thicken up, requiring not less than two years to 

 form a good sward, and does not hold its color in hot weather; 

 it will not thrive on acid soils, and a large portion of soil in 

 the lower altitudes, especially in the Coast States, is in- 

 clined to acidity. Kentucky Blue Grass is used for lawns on 

 limestone soils, but the results of this or any one Grass in no 

 way compare with the beauty and fine velvety texture of 

 lawns made with an intelligently blended mixture of Grasses 

 of neat, close, interweaving growth, such as compose the 

 "Henderson" Lawn Grass mixture; and besides, the latter 

 will make a thick, close turf in a few weeks' time. 



The "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed is, relatively speaking, 

 the cheapest seed offered, because, while other lawn Grass 

 mixtures on the market will not average over 14 lbs. to the 

 bushel, this, being freed from chafiF, weighs 20 lbs. per meas- 

 ured bushel. It is also the Purest, Cleanest and Heaviest 

 lawn Grass seed ever offered and it is absolutely free from 

 weed seeds. 



We have made the formation and renovation of lawns a study for years, and thousands of the finest 



lawns and Grass plots in America were obtained by following our instructions and 



using THE "HENDERSON" LAWN GRASS SEED
