Henderson's Special Mixtures of Lawn Grass Seed 



Henderson's Shady Nook 

 LAWN GRASS SEED 



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, dwarf 

 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 

 excellent corrective and sweetener, but the moss should 

 be first removed bv the use of a sharp rake.

'My lawn is pretty well shaded, principally with large maples, and 

 I found it difficult to keep the grass grouting nicely until I purchased 

 your seed." ' GERM T A. FORBES. Canastota. X. V. 



" Stand ish Pari; is a beautiful pari; and has a charming lawn that 

 would vie in beauty with a well kept English lawn. The Henderson 

 Lawn Grass Seed and the Henderson Shady Xook Grass Seed were 

 used and under every tree the grass is growing rigorously."

Henderson's Seaside 

 LAWN GRASS SEED 



Along our seacoast ;here are many beautiful summer 

 homes and resorts with such sandy saline surroundings 

 that a turf of the favorite lawn Grasses cannot be pro- 

 duced. We have so often made up a mixture of special 

 Grasses to thrive under these trying conditions that we 

 have concluded to offer it for the benefit of others who 

 may be having the same "trouble in getting Grass to 

 grow." Our "Seaside" mixture will make a good turf of 

 green on sand where the finer Grasses are not so likely 

 to thrive, though, 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 use in this mixture — drive down 

 deeply in the sand and.remain permanently self-sustain- 

 ing, if attention is given to sprinkling during dry 

 weather.

 Full instructions in every bag and package. 



Henderson's Terrace Sod 

 LAWN GRASS SEED 



A special mixture of Grasses best suited for sowing on terra 

 embankments and hillsides; Grasses that produce long, strong, 

 spreading roots, thus preventing heavy rains from washing them 

 out: that will withstand drought and exposure, thrive on shallow 

 soils, and at the same time produce a rich, velvety-green turf 

 throughout the season. There need be no fear of introducing 

 coarse Grasses into your lawn by sowing this mixture, for, 

 though strong-rooted, the Grasses are equally as fine- 

 leaved as those used in the "Henderson Lawn 

 Grass" mixture.
