Sow The “Henderson” Lawn Grass Seed 
and Obtain a Grassy Carpet of Unrivalled Emerald Green 
IN FOUR WEEKS FROM SOWING IT IS READY FOR MOWING 
Henderson's celebrated Lawn Grass Seed Mixture has been thor- 
oughly tested by a country-wide use during three-quarters of a 
century. It is the fruit of years of our personal experience and 
study, coupled with that of many of America’s foremost gardeners, 
who steadfastly maintain and unite with us in saying that it has no 
superior for American conditions and the American climate. The | 
rapidity with which it will form a deep green velvety turf, has been 
the delight of gardeners since its introduction, for, under ordinary 
conditions, the bare soil will be clothed with an emerald carpet of 
living green in four weeks’ time.

STANDARD LAWN SEED 
This is a blend that is far superior to the low priced lawn seed 
usually offered. It should be of special interest to florists and con- 
tractors for use on development projects. Although this seed is not 
recommended for a permanent lawn, like the Henderson blend, it 
does not, on the contrary, give a flash-in-the-pan, but produces a 
fine durable turf. Sow at the rate of 1 pound to 200 square feet.

SHADY NOOK 
The Ideal Mixture for Shaded Areas 
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, dwari 
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 ex- 
cellent corrective and sweetener, but the moss should be first raked off.

SPECIAL “BENT FORMULA” 
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 tyne, Clock Golf and other 
lawn games may be enjoyably played. 
It is imperative in maintaining a lawn of this type, that the grass shouid 
be kept cut short and well rolled all through the season. Starvation of the 
Grass plants is most frequent cause of unsatisfactory lawns, and grass 
needs constant small applications of fertilizer and plenty of water to main-

TOUGH TURF 
The turf required for outdoor sports must be 
closely interwoven, firm, elastic, smooth, , and 
durable to stand the wear and tear. These re- 
quirements 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. :

TERRACE SOD 
This is a special mixture of Grasses best suited 
for sowing on terraces, embankments and hill- 
sides; Grasses that produce long, strong, spread- 
ing 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.

SEASIDE 
Our ‘Seaside’ mixture will make a good turf 
of green on sand where the finer Grasses wii] 
not thrive. 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 used in 
this mixture—drive down deeply in the sand and 
remain permanently self-sustaining, if attention 
is given to sprinkling during dry weather.
