Athletic Field *%&%? 



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 treatment 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 



Polo Field ^'tuT 1 



Used on the Leading American Polo Fields 



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 any 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. (See illustration.)

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.

Tough Turf ^\u S r e e ed 



For Tennis Courts, Croquet Grounds, etc. 



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

 cially suited for the making of Grass Tennis Courts, Croquet Grounds, 

 Bowling Green, etc. The turf required for outdoor sports must be 

 closely interwoven, firm, elastic, smooth, and durable to stand the 

 wear and tear. These requirements are met in Hendersor'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.
