Athletic Field 



Tough Turf 



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 grill- 

 i ng of hard foot-wear on a sports field demands a turf composed of a 

 combination of deep-rooting, fine-leaved grasses possessing extraordi 

 nary resistant and tenacious qualities, it is for these reaons that Hender- 

 son's Athletic Field Grass Seed Mixture is invariably chosen by Collegi- 

 ate 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 rigourous 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 eighty-three years. 



Henderson's Athletic Field Grass Seed Mixture produces a close, 

 compact and densely matted turf of great resiliency, though free from 

 slipperiness. The grasses are fine-leaved, deep-rooting and of an attrac- 

 tive 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 Clubs are using 

 this grass seed mixture with complete satisfaction. Besides those illus- 

 trated on this page, we may mention The Polo Grounds, N. Y., West 

 Point, Annapolis, Yale University, Harvard University, Princeton 

 University, Culver Military Academy, and many others. 



Sow at the rate of 150 lbs. to 200 lbs. per acre according to soil

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

 suited for the making of Grass Tennis Courts, Croquet Grounds, Bowl- 

 ing Greens, 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 this mixture, which is composed 

 of fibrous, deep-rooting Grasses that spread and intermingle. The seeds 

 are blended in the proOer 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 liber- 

 ally 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. This mixture has been used with great success at the Rum- 

 son Polo Fields, also at the Forest Hills Tennis Courts, the great sport 

 centers for Tennis, and numerous other playing fields.

 Fields and Air Ports has resulted in the special mixture offered here- 

 with. It is composed primarily of extremely hardy low growing grasses 

 requiring a minimum amount of mowing. Our mixture is similar to the 

 specifications recommended by the Aeronautics Branch of the U. S.

Polo Field 



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.)
