EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN— Grass Seeds 



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 a 

 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 lawn» is 5 to 6 bushels per 

 acre. For a plot 10 x 20, or 200 square feet, use 1 quart. For 

 renovating old lawns use one-half of above quantities. Our 

 pamphlet- "How to Hake a Lawn," giving full instructions,
