Mixtures of Grass Seeds that have been scientifically blended by 

 experts in the production of turf for Golf Courses are preferred by experi- 

 enced greenkeepers. They have learned that a quicker and more uniform 

 stand of grass is obtained where a mixture is employed: also that the 

 resulting turf possesses greater qualities of endurance. 



In the first place a mixed turf is not so readily influenced by adverse 

 atmospheric conditions of drought or excessive moisture as one com- 

 posed of a single variety of grass, because the feeding roots are not all 

 grouped in the same depth of soil and consequently are not all affected 

 by a localized soil condition. Perhaps the paramount advantage, how- 

 ever, lies in the fact that it has been proven that turf composed of a 

 mixture of grasses is far less susceptible to the ravages of fungus diseases — ■ 



like Brown Patch — than a Green containing one variety of grass only. 

 Henderson's Grass Seed Mixtures are the result of exhaustive 

 research, and an extensive series of experiments and tests at our own 

 trial grounds in New Jersey as well as in test plots in various sections 

 of the country. These mixtures are composed of the most suitable native 

 Grasses, mingled with the best imported varieties. Henderson's Grass 

 Seed Mixtures are famous since the advent of Golf in America, as we 

 were the pioneers in the production of turf for Golf Courses. Many of 

 the finest courses in America today were laid down with these mixtures. 

 They are blended to suit the ground to be seeded ; if your conditions are 

 out of the ordinary, a description of the soil and notes on climate and 

 the lay of the land should be sent when ordering. See page 4 for Hender- 

 son's Re-cleaned Varieties of Grasses used on Golf Courses. 



Putting Green Mixture 



Putting Greens sown with a properly blended mixture of grasses 

 are in most cases far superior to those on which only one variety was 

 sown. They come into play quicker after seeding; they present a more 

 attractive appearance from early spring to late fall: and due to the 

 fact that the roots draw their nourishment from various depths in the 

 soil, a more resistant and durable turf is formed. 



This mixture contains a large percentage of the various Bents and is 

 the best that scientific skill and many years of experience can produce. 

 Sow from 75 to 100 lbs. for the average sized 90 x 90 ft. green. 



Price. 90c. per lb. : $20.00 per bushel of 25 lbs. : $75.00 per 100 lbs. :

Special Mixture for the Rough 



As more attention is now given to the refinements of the game, the 

 Rough is no longer allowed to be covered with weeds, but is sown with 

 a recleaned grass seed mixture such as offered here in order to produce 

 a fair, though not unduly troublesome penalty for the players. 



Price. 55c. per lb.. 811.50 per bushel of 25 lbs.: $40.00 per 100 lbs.; 

 transportation paid. 



Special Mixture for Bunkers 



As bunkers and mounds frequently become extremely dry and 

 parched, we have developed a mixture that will give satisfaction under 

 t hese trying conditions. 



Fairway Mixture

845.00 per 100 lbs. ; 



On most Golf Courses the Fairways receive far less attention than 

 the Putting Greens; it is therefore important that a mixture of grass 

 seeds be sown that will produce a fine, well knit elastic turf, requiring 

 a minimum amount of attention. The importance of good Fairways 

 cannot be overestimated, for walking on a springy turf that is pleasing 

 to the eye, is one of the added attractions of the game. 



This mixture is specially blended to fulfil these requirements. Sow 

 150 to 200 lbs. per acre, according to the nature of the soil. For reno- 

 vating, use half this amount. 



Price. 60c. per lb.: $12.50 per bushel of 25 lbs.: $45.00 per 100 lbs., 

 transportation paid. 



Special Mixture for Tees 



The Tees are the most abused parts of any golf course. Not only 

 must they l>e able to withstand the divot taking onslaughts of the 

 novices, but they also are obliged to endure the excessive foot-wear of 

 all the players. This Special Mixture is composed of extremely deep 

 rooting grasses that will stand great wear, combined with the stoloniferous 

 types that will cover the divot scars quickly. Sow at the rate of 10 lbs 

 to 1.000 square feet. . 



Price, 60c. per lb.: $12.50 per bushel of 25 lbs.: $45.00 per 100 lbs.: 

 transportation paid.
