 IN FOUR WEEKS FROM SOWING IT IS READY FOR MOWING 



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



The" Henderson" 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 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 mid- 

 summer, 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, The "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed has 

 invariably been chosen to produce lawns at many of the most famous 

 Institutions in this 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 Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, were pro- 

 duced with the "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed. At the various Inter- 

 national 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.
