Henderson's Golf Course Grass Se 



For Fair Greens and Putting Greens. Laying Down New Courses and Renovating Old Ones. 



It is used on the Championship Courses 



We have had preat experience with, and 

 have given much attention and close 

 study to Grasses suitable for Golf Links. 

 When Golf Ijrst became a popular game 

 in this country and courses were laid out, 

 it w£is soon found that many Grasses 

 used with good results on European 

 courses would not thrive in the climate of 

 the United States. 



We then made exhaustive experiments 

 with every known variety of Grass in our 

 trial grounds at Jersey City, N. J., and we 

 also sent samples to various sections of 

 the country for trial and report. As a 

 result of these experiences we made up 

 our now well-known mixtures — HEND- 

 ERSON'S GOLF COURSE GRAaS 

 SEED MIXTURES both for Pulling 

 Greens and Fair Greens. They are un- 

 doubtedly the best for the AMERICAN 

 CLIMATE and AMERICAN CONDI- 

 TIONS, being composed principally of 

 native Grasses, mingled wilh a few im- 

 ported varieties. Many of the finest 

 courses in America today were laid down 

 with these mixtures, and with proper 

 care the finest Putting Greens and Fair 

 Greens in the world can be successfully 

 rivaled. Henderson's Golf Course mix- 

 tures are made up to suit the grounds an<l 

 soil to he seeded, low and wet, high and 

 dry, sandy or clayey, as the case may be, 

 and a description of the soil and notes on 

 climate and the lay of the land should be 

 sent when ordering. (See colored illus- 

 tration.)

A 14-YEAR TEST PROVES ITS VALUE 

 Our Polo Grounds and lawns at Meadoivbrnok were laid down 14- years ago 

 with the special mixture of THE HENDERSON -'ATHLETIC FIELD' 

 GRASS SEED MIXTURE and we have renovated them from t ime to lime wilh 

 the same mixture. We would not use any other brand. The condition of these 

 grounds at all seasons of the year is I he best possible tesiimonia, I to the value of 

 your seed. For forming a springy , yet compart turf, Iha t will withstand the hard

Henderson's Tough Turf Grass Seed Mixture 



For Tennis Courts, Crocp^iet Grotinds, Bowling Greens, etc. It Quickly Forms an Indestructible Turf 

 Smooth, Firm and Elastic, Standing Wear and Tear of Outdoor Games 



^ 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 inter- 

 woven, 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 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. The.se varie- 

 ties 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 300 square feet, or five bushels per acre, although fifty per cent. 

 more may be used with advantage; half that quantity will do for renovating. 

 Price, delivered free in the U. S., 30 cts. qt., §1.00 for 4 qts., S1.75 pk., 

 S6.00 bu. of 20 lbs.

WARNING — The best of seed is necessary for use on all grounds devoted 

 to sport. Years of experience have shown us that the best results are obtained 

 in the AMERICAN CLIMATE, and under AMERICAN CONDITIONS 

 by sowing chiefly AMERICAN-GROWN SEEDS. 



We deal only in the highest grades and before offering this seed to our cus- 

 tomers for sale, it is thoroughly recleancd by the most modern seed-cleaning 

 machinery in America. These are not ordinary fanning mills, but machines 

 with an even and strong air suction — equal at all points — which is quite a 

 different thing from a bla.'it. By this process ive are enabled to eliminate the 

 rubbish, and light, imperfect seeds, leaving only sound, perfect seeds.
