The Most Beautiful Lawns In America 



are made with 



Henderson's Special Mixtures of Lawn Grass Seed 

 "Special Bent Formula" 



EVERY LAWN A PUTTING GREEN 



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 

 I 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. (Sec illustration.) 



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.; S lbs. 55. SO: 20 lbs. $20.00: 100 lbs. lots and upward. 

 $90.00 per 100 lbs. 



Shady Nook 



On nearly all lawns there are unsightly bare spots under the shade of 

 trees, which have baffled all efforts to get into Grass, but with this mix- 

 ture there need be no further difficulty. It is a combination of fin' . 

 dwarf growing, evergreen varieties, which in their wild or natural state 

 are to be found growing in the woods or other sheltered and shaded 

 spots. Ground that has been densely shaded by trees is frequently 

 "sour," and if the drainage is defective it is apt to be covered with moss 

 and coarse Grasses. In such cases an application of slaked lime, at the 

 rate of one hundred pounds to each thousand square feet, or two tons 

 to the acre, is an excellent corrective and sweetener, but tho moss 

 should be first raked off. (See illustration.)

Sunny South 



It is especially prepared for the South, and contains all the best 

 Grasses that are by nature adapted for hot, dry situations. In the South, 

 Bermuda Grass is frequently used, but it remains green only in the 

 summer months, turning brown in winter; but by using this mixture, 

 and with some care and attention to watering, an all-the-year-round 

 lawn can be maintained in Southern States where Grasses do not 

 usually thrive.

Terrace Sod 



A special mixture of Grasses best suited for sowing on terraces, embankments 

 and hillsides; Grasses that produce long, strong, spreading roots, thus pre- 

 venting heavy rains from washing them out; that will withstand drought and 

 exposure, thrive on shallow soils, and at the same time produce a rich, velvety- 

 green turf throughout the season. There need be no fear of Introducing coarse 

 Grasses into your lawn by sowing this mixture, for. though strong-rooted, the 

 Grasses are equally as fine -leaved as those used in the" Henderson Lawn Grass" 

 mixture.

Seaside 



Along our seacoast there are many beautiful summer homes and resorts with 

 such sandy saline surroundings that a turf of the favorite lawn Grasses cannot 

 be produced. We have so often made up a mixture of special Grasses to thrive 

 under these trying conditions that we have concluded to offer it for the benefit 

 of others who may be having the same "trouble in getting Grass to grow." 

 Our " Seaside" mixture will make a good turf of green on sand where the finer 

 Grasses are not so likely to thrive, though, of course, the sand must be top- 

 dressed with not less than 2 inches of soil before even our " Seaside" Grass Seed 

 is sown, to enable the young Grass to get a start, after which the long roots — 

 peculiar to the varieties we use in this mixture — drive down deeply in the sand 

 and remain permanently self-sustaining, if attention is given to sprinkling during 

 dry weather.
