The Most Beautiful Lawns 
in America 
are made with 
The “Henderson” Lawn Grass Seed _ .- 
A good lawn is unquestionably the most beautiful and 
most valuable feature of the home grounds; or, in fact, of 
any landscape developments, including public parks, private 
estates, suburban plots, or even a city yard. Nothing else 
can impart the same dignity, or appearance of refinement, 
or set off the architectural beauty of a building to better 
advantage than a well-made, well-kept lawn. Furthermore, 
a beautiful lawn is not only valuable from an aesthetic stand- 
point, or because it promotes a personal pride of ownership; 
but, it also possesses real intrinsic value, as it actually in- 
creases the value of the property upon which it grows. 
A lawn made with THE “HENDERSON” LAWN GRASS 
SEED is practically permanent. Customers tell us that 
lawns made with this mixture twenty or more years ago, 
are as beautiful today as they were in their first flush of 
youth. 
It should be borne in mind when considering the making 
of a lawn that the cost of the seed represents only a small 
part of the actual investment. The labor cost is usually 
far in excess of the cost of the seed. It is therefore indeed 
false economy to save a few cents by buying a mixture of 
grass seeds obtained from a questionable source, only to 
be obliged to endure the annoyance and expense of con- 
tinually repatching a weedy, irregular turf, and perhaps being 
forced to do the entire work over again in a short time. 
Henderson’s celebrated: Lawn Grass Seed Mixture has 
been thoroughly tested and has proven its worth by 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 stead- 
fastly 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, free from clumps or weeds, has repeatedly aroused 
comments of astonishment and admiration; for, under ordi- 
nary conditions, the bare, drab soil will be clothed with 
living emerald carpet in four weeks’ time. 
The “Henderson” Lawn Grass Seed is a combination of 
fine-leaved, dwarf grasses, intelligently arranged to be at 
their best during the different months of the year; thus 
keeping the lawn constantly covered with fresh, attractive 
and enduring grass. It is impossible to make an enduring 
lawn by sowing seed of a single variety, which will only 
grow vigorously for a portion of the year. Kentucky Blue 
Grass, for instance, which is sometimes recommended for 
lawns, grows but sparsely during midsummer, it is slow to 
form a close turf, requiring two years to do so, and loses 
color in hot weather. Besides its country-wide use on the 
home grounds of the people, THE “HENDERSON” LAWN 
GRASS SEED is chosen to produce lawns at many of 
America’s leading institutions and parks, including the fa- 
mous Central Park, New York City. 
At the various International Expositions held in the United 
States-—notably the Centennial at Philadelphia, the Colum- 
bian at Chicago, the Pan-American at Buffalo, the Louisiana 
Purchase at St. Louis, the Lewis & Clark at Portland, and 
the Jamestown at Norfolk—the gold medals (shown in 
illustration above) were awarded to lawns made with the 
“HENDERSON” LAWN GRASS SEED. 
The quantity required for new lawns is 5 to 6 bushels per 
acre. For a plot 10 « 20, or 200 square feet, wse 1 quart. For 
renovating old lawns use one-half of above quantities. Our
