8 Has Been Used to Create American Lawns "Since 1847" 



The "HENDERSON" Lawn Grass Seed 



This Mixture Will Produce a Grassy Carpet of Unrivalled Emerald Green 



Which in 4 Weeks from Sowing will be Ready for Mowing 



(See Color Plate Opposite) 



This celebrated lawn grass seed mixture has been thoroughly tested 

 by 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 fo make an enduring 

 lawn bv sowing seed of a single variety, which will only grow vigor- 

 ously for a portion of the year. Kentucky Blue Grass, for instance, 

 which is sometimes recommended for lawns, grows but sparsely during 

 — midsuaHaerr4s -stew-to-fewn --ar-etese-«waKlr-reetwh4ng-two-years--te-do 

 that, and loses color in hot weather. 



Besides its country wide use on the home grounds of the people, 

 'Henderson'' 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 the Parade 

 Grounds at the United States Military Academy at West Point. N. Y. 

 The refreshing green and the close turf, which attract the attention of 

 the hundreds of thousands who annually visit the baseball grounds 

 in this country, particularly the Polo Grounds in New York and Ebbetts 

 Field in Brooklyn, were produced with the "Henderson" Lawn Grass 

 Seed. At the various International Expositions held in the United States 

 — notably the Centennial at Philadelphia, the Columbian at Chicago, 

 the Pan-American at Buffalo, the Louisiana Purchase at St. Louis, the 

 Lewis & Clark at Portland, and the Jamestown at Norfolk — gold medals 

 were awarded to lawns made with the "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed.

Special "Bent Formula" Lawn Mixture 



MAKES EVERY LAWN A PUTTING GREEN 



(See Color Plate 

 Opposite) 



On account of the growing popularity of golf in recent years, the 

 question has many times been put to us by our customers, "Why can't 

 1 have a lawn that looks like a Putting Green." Our answer to this 

 was to make up a combination of the finest re-cleaned grasses, using as 

 a basis for this mixture the Bent Grasses which are largely used in 

 the finer Putting Greens of today. 



A lawn seeded with this mixture and properly cared for will in 

 truth make every lawn a Putting Green. 



It is imperative in maintaining a lawn of this type, that the grass 

 should be kept cut short and well rolled all through the season. Starva- 

 tion of the grass plants is the most frequent cause of unsatisfactory 

 lawns, and grass needs constant small applications of fertilizer and 

 plenty of water to maintain a perfect lawn. 



Also, every spring apply a dressing of Henderson's Lawn Enricher. 

 Broadcast this, using five pounds for each 200 square feet, and water 

 it in thoroughly with a hose. 



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.
