HENDERSON'S 



"SHADY NOOK" 



LAWN GRASS SEED 



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 frequently "sour." and 

 if the drainage is defective it is apt to be covered with 

 moss and coarse bog Grasses. In such cases an applica- 

 tion of slaked lime, at the rate of one bushel to each 

 thousand square feet, or forty bushels to the acre, is 

 an excellent corrective and sweetener, but the moss 

 should be first removed by the use of a sharp rake.

"/ sowed some of your 'Shady Nook' Lawn Grass 

 Seed, not over two weeks ago and some of it is up three 

 inches high. People around here do not know what to 

 think about it, as they never saw grass grow in the shade 

 like it." S. D. HUTCHINS, Piqua, Ohio. 



HENDERSON'S 



"TERRACE SOD" 



LAWN GRASS SEED 



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 and exposure, 

 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.

" Your 'Terrace Sod' Lawn Grass .Seed has made our terraces beautiful and green,

 out. " ALFRED DONNELLY (Gardener to C. H. Mackay, Esq.), Roslyn, N. Y.

"SUNNY SOUTH" 



LAWN GRASS SEED 



It is especially prepared for the South, and contains all the best Grasses that 

 are by nature adapted for hut, dry situations. In the South, Bermuda Grass 

 is frequently used, but it remains green only in the summer months, turning 

 brown in wmter; but by using tliis 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.

"The .Sunny South Lawn Grass received from you is the very article for our 

 soil and climate. Our new lawns in this militarv post attest the value of this grass. "

Henderson's ''SEASIDE'' 



LAWN GRASS SEED 



Along our seacoast there are many beautiful summer homes and resorts with 

 such sandy saline surroundings that a turf of the favorite lawn Grasses cannot 

 be oroduced. We have so often made up a mixture of special Grasses to thrive 

 under these trying conditions that we have concluded 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 are not so likely to 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 dur- 

 ing dry weather. Use at the rate of one quart for 300 square feet; 5 bushels 

 per acre.

" .Uy small lawn produced from your .Seaside Grass Seed hai been most satisfac- 

 tory, considering the extremely sandy soil, " FR.ANK H. COLE, Asbury Park, N.J.
