Athletic Field 



Grass Seed 

 Mixture 



As it is the opinion of authorities on field sports, that a perfect turf is 

 an absolute necessity for perfect play; and because the constant grilling of 

 hard foot-wear on a sports field demands a turf composed of a combination 

 of deep-rooting, fine-leaved grasses possessing extraordinary resistant and 

 tenacious qualities, it is for these reasons that Henderson's Athletic Field 

 Grass Seed Mixture is invariably chosen by Collegiate and Scholastic, as 

 well as by Professional League, Mercantile and other Athletic, Baseball 

 and Football Associations. 



By conducting an Extensive Series of Experiments at our Trial Grounds 

 with combinations of grasses, and subjecting the resulting turf to a treat- 

 ment as rigorous as it would receive on any Athletic Field, we have 

 developed a mixture of grass seeds upon which we can confidently stake 

 our reputation of seventy-nine years. 



Henderson's Athletic Field Grass Seed Mixture produces a close, 

 compact and densely matted turf of great resiliency, though free from 

 slipperiness. The grasses are fine-leaved, deep-rooting and of an attractive, 

 refreshing green. The seed, if sown under proper conditions, should form 

 a turf, ready for mowing, in about four weeks from sowing. 



Many of the leading Athletic, Baseball and Football Fields are using this 

 grass seed mixture with complete satisfaction. Besides those illustrated 

 on this page, we may mention The Polo Grounds, New York, West 

 Point, Annapolis, Yale University, Harvard University, Princeton 

 University. Culver Military Academy, and many others.

 Mixture 



Used on the Leading American Polo Field* 



This is a special blend of deep-rooting, fine-leaved, turf -forming Grasses, 

 especially suited for Polo Grounds. This mixture forms a thick, strong 

 enduring turf that will stand anv amount of hard usage without showing 

 wear and tear. It grows quickly, and if soil and conditions are at all 

 favorable, with attention to rolling and mowing, should be ready for hard 

 use in eight weeks from sowing. 



The refreshing green and the close turf — which have attracted the 

 attention of hundreds of thousands of patrons of the principal Polo 

 Grounds of the country — were produced by this special mixture of The 

 Henderson Grass Seed. Among others we may mention, the Polo 

 Grounds at Meadowbrook. where the famous international match was 

 played in 1924, Newport, Lakewood, Rockaway Hunt, Saratoga, 

 also some of the leading Polo Fields in the West and Middle West.

Tough Turf 



Grass Seed 

 Mixture 



For Tennis Courts, Croquet Grounds, etc. 



Henderson's Tough Turf Grass Seed is a blend of Grasses especially 

 suited for the making of Grass Tennis Courts, Croquet Grounds. Bowling 

 Green, 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. These 

 varieties 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 200 square feet, or six bushels per acre, although 50 per cent 

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

 renovating.
