From PETER HENDERSON & CO., 
NEW YORK 
Henderson’s Golf Course Department 
Offers Experienced and Reliable Service to Golf Course 
Owners, Green Committees and Greenkeepers 
Mistakes made through the ill-advised construction and 
seeding of Golf Courses are not only costly, but also very 
difficult to rectify. Good judgment and careful supervision 
would show that practical experience, combined with a 
thorough knowledge of modern Golf Course requirements, 
are the only reliable, safe and sure guides to follow, when 
contemplating the construction of a new course or the recon- 
struction of an existing one. 
Three-Quarter Century Experience 
Practical experience gained through countless struggles 
with Sports Turf problems in all parts of the country and 
extending over a period of over three-quarters of a century, 
places Peter Henderson & Co. in undisputed leadership in 
the exacting and highly specialized branch of turf production 
for American Golf Courses. As our tests and experiments 
with turf grasses antedated the advent of golf in this coun- 
try by several decades, it was only natural that when the 
game was introduced here, we were commissioned to furnish 
the proper grasses for America’s first Golf Course. Since 
that time Henderson’s grass seeds and service have been 
intimately associated with the advancement of golf in the 
United States; and we will gladly furnish interested parties 
with the names of golf clubs in their 
localities that are excellent examples 
of the Henderson standard. 
Dependable seed service since 1847. 
Complete Golf Course Service 
The recent enlargement of our Golf Department makes it 
possible for us to give individual attention to all who are 
interested in the production of fine turf on Golf Courses. 
We cordially invite owners, green committees, and green- 
keepers to call upon us either in person or by letter, or if 
preferable ask our representative to call on them, to help 
in solving their construction or turf problems. We gladly 
render this service without obligation or charge in the metro- 
politan area. Transportation for calls made to distant points, 
or professional service, charged for at cost. 
-Everything for the Golf Course 
Henderson’s grass seeds bear a reputation for high qual- 
ity, purity and germination that is attested to by thousands 
of satisfied customers. Our stock of Implements and Equip- 
ment is the most modern and best obtainable, and is always 
on hand in our warehouses, ready for immediate shipment. 
Our fertilizers, made after our own formulas, cannot be sur- 
passed. These are all fully described, charted and illustrated 
in our book entitled “Sports Turf.” This book, which con- 
tains much valuable information on the construction and 
maintenance of Golf Courses, Athletic Fields, etc., will be 
sent free when applied for, using your club. or business 
letterhead. 
Greenkeeper’s Situations 
- We have at all times the names on file of 
practical greenkeepers in want of situations. If Clubs 
desiring them will write us, we shall be glad to put 
them in communication with men whom we 
deem suitable. We make no charge for this 
service, either to the Club or to the 
greenkeeper. 
] 1843 The worth of a house whose business has been carried on successfully for three 
generations by the same family is understood by all who plant seeds, because seeds are sold entirely on reputation.
