HENDERSON'S 



Golf Course Grass Seed 



For Fair Greens and Putting Greens. Laying Down New Courses 

 and Renovating Old Ones. It is Used on the 

 Championship Courses 



We have had great experience with, and have given much 

 attention and close study to Grasses suitable for Golf Links. 

 When Golf first became a popular game in this country 

 and courses were laid out, it was soon found that many 

 Grasses used with good results on European courses would 

 not thrive in the climate of the United States. 

 We then made exhaustive experiments with every 

 known variety of Grass in our trial grounds at Jersey 

 City, N. J., and we also sent samples to various sections 

 of the country for trial and report. As a result of these 

 experiences we made up our now well-known mixtures 

 —HENDERSON'S GOLF COURSE GRASS SEED 

 MIXTURES both for Putting Greens and Fair Greens. 

 They are undoubtedly the best for the AMERICAN 

 CLIMATE and AMERICAN CONDITIONS, being com- 

 posed principally of native Grasses, mingled with a few 

 imported varieties. Many of the finest courses in 

 America today were laid down with these mixtures, and 

 with proper care the finest Putting Greens and Fair 

 Greens in the world can be successfully rivaled. Hender- 

 son's Golf Course mixtures are made up to suit the 

 grounds and soil to be seeded, low and wet, high and dry, 

 sandy or clayey, as the case may be, and a description of 

 the soil and notes on climate and the lay of the land should 

 be sent when ordering. (See cut.)

I have used your Putting Green Seed for the past three years, and it has given the best 

 results of any seed I ever used. I laid down two new Greens last year about the 15th of May, 

 and July 1st they were playing on it." S. M. CARPENTER, Ml. Vernon, N. H. 



Henderson's Tough Turf Grass Seed Mixture 



For Tennis Courts, Croquet Grounds, Bowling Greens, Etc. It Quickly Forms an Indestructible Turf 

 Smooth, Firm, Elastic, Standing Wear and Tear of Outdoor Games 



Henderson's "Tough Turf" Grass Seed is a blend of 

 Grasses especially suited for the making of Grass Tennis 

 Courts, Croquet Grounds, Bowling Greens, 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 inter- 

 mingle. 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 300 square feet, or 

 five bushels per acre, although fifty per cent, more may 

 be used with advantage; half that quantity will do for 

 renovating. (.See cut.) 



Price, delivered free in the U. S., 30c. qt., $1.00 for

"1 purchased some 'Tough Turf Grass Seed Mixture 

 from you last year. It succeeded admirably, and is very 

 beautiful, keeping green all the year round." 



HART. F. SMITH, Isleton, Cal. 



"You will perhaps be pleased to know that our tennis 

 court, made last year by sowing your 'Tough Turf Grass 

 Seed, was a great success. We commenced mowing it in 

 about 5 weeks, and were playing on it in 6 weeks' lime 

 without any apparent injury, as the Grass kept thickening 

 up all the time, and it is a beautiful bit of turf. We are 

 delighted."
