Henderson's "Tough Turf" Grass seed is a blend of 

 Grasses especially suited for the making of Grass tennis 

 courts, croquet grounds, bowling greens, etc. 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 Henderson's 

 "Tough Turf" Mixture, which is composed of native 

 and acclimated foreign fine-leaved, fibrous, deep-rooting 

 Grasses that spread and intermingle, the seeds of which 

 are blended in the proper proportions to form and main- 

 tain a tough, matted sward, constantly green, even in 

 dry weather. These varieties of Grasses being low-grow- 

 ing and fine-leaved, require to be sown liberally if a play- 

 ing turf is desired quickly: not less than one quart should 

 be used for 300 square feet, or five bushels per acre; half 

 that quantity will do for renovating.

'You will perhaps he pleased to know that our tennis 

 court, made last year by sowing your 'Tough Turf Crass 

 Seed, was a great success. IT'e commenced mowing it in 

 about o weeks, and were playing on it in 6 weeks' lime with- 

 out any apparent injury, as the grass kept thickening up 

 all the time, and is a beautiful bit of turf. We are delighted."
