The "Henderson" Lawn Grctss Seed 



This celebrated lawn grass seed mixture has been thoroughly tested 

 bv country-wide use for more than half a century. IT IS THE 

 FRUIT OF YEARS. OF EXPERIENCE AND CLOSE STUDY 

 OF AMERICAN CONDITIONS AND IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE 

 BEST FOR THE AMERICAN CLIMATE. By its use a deep 

 green, velvety sward, free from clumps, can be produced in from 

 four to six weeks' time. 



The "HENDERSON" LAWN GRASS SEED is an intelligently 

 arranged combination of fine-leaved, dwarf Grasses, which are at 

 their best during different months of the year, thus keeping a lawn 

 constantly covered with enduring green. 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, is slow to form a close sward, requiring 

 two years to do that, and loses color in hot weather. Besides its 

 country-wide use on the home grounds of the people, "HENDER- 

 SON" LAWN GRASS SEED has invariably been chosen to produce 

 lawns at many of the most famous institutions in the country. It 



has been used for a number of years with excellent results, on th( 

 Parade Grounds at—the United States Military Academy at Wesl 

 Puint. N. Y. The refreshing green and the close turf, which attract 

 the attention of the hundreds of thousands who annually visit th< 

 baseball grounds in this country, particularly the Polo Grounds ir 

 New York and Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, were produced with the 

 "HENDERSON" LAWN GRASS SEED. At the various Interna- 

 tional Expositions held in the United States — notably the ( entennia 

 at Philadelphia, the Columbian at Chicago, the Pan-American at 

 Buffalo, the Louisana Purchase at St. Louis, the Lewis ^t (lark al 

 Portland, and the Jamestown at Norfolk — gold medals were awardec 

 to lawns made with the "HENDERSON" LAWN (1RASS SEED

Henderson's Lawn Grass Seed is used and praised by thousands from Maine to California 



" We think your Lawn Grass Seed is the best ever. Sowed a lawn on June 

 21st last spring and three weeks from that day it simply had to be cut, it was 

 so long and thick, could have been cut days before. Before, fall it was solid as 

 an old lawn and friends could scarcely believe it had been spriny sown. I had 

 my seed a year too, having bought it in 1925, so was a little afraid of the out- 

 come." 



Mrs. RAYMOND KRUGER.

"J got some Henderson Lawn Grass Seed last spring and I will say it is 

 sure good seed. In fact, everything that I have bougtd from your establish- 

 ment has always proven true to the catalog." 



PETER CALLON, 

 October 25, 1926. Portland, Oregon. 



" I bouyht some of your Lawn Grass Seed and we put it in the ground the 

 last of September and now we have a beautiful lawn. I am very proud of it. 

 Thanking you for the wonderful seed which you sold us." 



Mrs. C. T. BOWERS, 

 November 8, 1927. Culpeper, Va. 



" I have been told by my neighbors that my lawn looks belter than any othei 

 on the avenue. I tell them that I constantly give it the needed attention ana 

 use only "The Henderson Lawn Grass" Seed. In order to keep up thi 

 reputation, I want to sow some in September."

" I purchased grass seed for my laum from you lasr fall and I never sau 

 a cleaner lawn. There is not a weed or heavy grass in it ." 



JOHN BLACK. 



Duncannon, Pa. 



" The Lawn Grass Seed I got from you is certainly a dandy, clean, no weeds, 

 and we planted it this spring and cut it twice already, it looks like a real good 

 old lawn, some of my neighbors planted laum before I did, theirs is just coming 

 up along with all kinds of weeds, nearly everybody who passes our place stops 

 and asks what kind of grass we planted. It is a surprise to everybody and, o] 

 course, we explain alt about the yrass and where we. bought it."
