enderson's Special Mixtures of Lawn Grass Seed 



Henderson's Terrace Sod 

 LAWN GRASS SEED MIXTURE 



A special mixture of Grasses best suited for sowing on terraces, embank 

 fcnents 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 pro- 

 duce 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. * 



Price, transportation paid in the U. S., 50c. qt.; $1.65 for 4 

 qts.; $3.00 pk.; $10 00 bu. of 20 lbs. 



Henderson's Sunny South 

 LAWN GRASS SEED MIXTURE 



It is especially prepared for the South, and contains all the best 

 Grasses that are by nature adapted for hot, dry situations. In the 

 South Bermuda Grass is frequently used, but it remains green only in 

 the summer months, turning brown in winter; but by using this mixture, 

 and with some care and attention to watering, an aU-the-year-round lawn 

 can be maintained in Southern States where Grasses do not usually thrive. 



Price? transportation paid in the U. S., 60c. qt.; $2.00 for 4 qts.; 

 $3.50 pk.; $12.00 bu. of 20 lbs. 



Henderson's Seaside 



LAWN GRASS SEED MIXTURE 



Along our seacoast there are many 



beautiful summer homes and resorts 



with such sandy saline surroundings that 



a turf of the favorite lawn Grasses cannot 

 !be produced. We have so often made up 

 ia mixture of special Grasses to thrive 

 I under these trying conditions that we 

 ihave concluded to offer it for the 

 i benefit of others who may be having the 

 i same "trouble in getting Grass to grow." 

 j Our "Seaside" mixture will make a good 

 i turf of green on sand where the finer 

 i Grasses are not so likely to thrive, 

 I though, of course, the sand must be top- 

 I dressed with not less than 2 inches of soil 

 i 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-sustaining, if attention 

 ' is given to sprinkling during dry weather. 

 Price, transportation paid in the 

 , U. S., 45c. qt:. $1.50 for 4 qts.; $2.75 

 l'pk.; $9.00 bu. of 20 lbs.

Shady Nook 



LAWN GRASS SEED MIXTURE 



On nearly all lawns there are un- 

 sightly 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 drain- 

 age 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 raked off.

"My lawn is pretty well shaded, principally with large maples, and J found 

 it difficult to keep the grass growing nicely until I purchased your seed. 



GERRIT A. FORBES, Canastota, N. Y. 

 "Standish Park is a beautiful park 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 Nook Grass Seed were used and under every tree the grass 

 is growing vigorously. " JOHN VAN NESS ST A NDISH

 "Special Bent Grass Formula' ' 



LAWN GRASS SEED MIXTURE 



A Bent Lawn can be established of as fine a texture as a Putting Green 

 by seeding with this mixture which is composed of Bent Grasses. Red 

 Top and Chewings Fescue. It is necessary to have the soil in proper 

 condition, loamy and well fertilized, applying Sulphate of Ammonia 

 several times during the year at the rate of one-half pound to cover 10C 

 square feet. Mix with soil and water in well after applying. This keeps 

 the soil in condition to feed the bent grasses. We advise seeding at the 

 rate of one pound to cover a space of 10x30 or 300 square feet. Price, 

 transportation paid in the U. S., $1.25 per lb.; 5 lbs. $5.50; 20 lbs. 

 $20.00; 100-lbs. lots and upward, $90.00 per 100 lbs. 



All grass seed mixtures are delivered transportation paid in the U. S., by express, freight or parcel post, at our option
