Sow The "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed 



and Obtain a Grassy Carpet 1 of Unrivalled Emerald Green 

 IN FOUR WEEKS FROM SOWING IT IS READY FOR MOWING 



Henderson's celebrated Lawn Grass Seed Mixture has been thor- 

 oughly tested by a country-wide use during three-quarters of a 

 century. It is the fruit of years of our personal experience and 

 study, coupled with that of many of America's foremost gardeners, 

 who steadfastly maintain and unite with us in saying that it has no 

 superior for American conditions and the American climate. The 

 rapidity with which it will form a deep green velvety turf, has been 

 the delight of gardeners since its introduction, for, under ordinary 

 conditions, the bare soil will be clothed with an emerald carpet of 

 living green in four weeks' time.

STANDARD LAWN SEED 



This is a blend that is far superior to the low priced lawn seed 

 usually offered. It should be of special interest to florists and con- 

 tractors for use on development projects. Although this seed is not 

 recommended for a permanent lawn, like the Henderson blend, it 

 does not, on the contrary, give a flash-in-the-pan, but produces a 

 ■fine durable turf. Sow at the rate of 1 pound to 200 square feet.

SHADY NOOK 

 The Ideal Mixture for Shaded Areas 



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 mixture 

 there need be no further difficulty. 11 is a combination of fine, 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 appiication of slaked lime, at the rate of one hundred 

 pounds to each thousand square feet, or two tons to the acre, is an ex- 

 cellent corrective and sweetener, but the moss should be first raked off.

SPECIAL "BENT FORMULA" 



50 lbs. 100 lbs 

 $44.00 $85.00 



A combination of the finest recleaned Grasses, using as a basis for this 

 mixture the imported and domestic Bent Grasses which are so 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. On a lawn of this tyne, Clock Golf and other 

 lawn games may be enjoyably played. 



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. Starvation of the 

 grass plants is most frequent cause of unsatisfactory lawns, and grass 

 needs constant small applications of fertilizer and plenty of water to main- 

 tain a perfect lawn. 5 |(js ,„ |(js 2S |bs SQ |j>s 1QQ jbg

TOUGH TURF 



The turf required for outdoor sports must be 

 closely interwoven, firm, elastic, smooth, and 

 durable to stand the wear and tear. These re- 

 quirements are met in this mixture, which is 

 composed of fibrous, deeo-rooting Grasses that 

 spread and intermingle. The seeds are blended 

 in the proper proportions to form and maintain 

 a tough matted sward, constantly green, even 

 in dry weather.

TERRACE SOD 



This is a special mixture of Grasses best suited 

 for sowing on terraces, embankments and hill- 

 sides; Grasses that produce long, strong, spread- 

 ing roots, thus preventing heavy rains from 

 washing them out; that will withstand drought, 

 thrive on shallow soils, and at the same time 

 produce a rich, velvety-green turf throughout 

 the season.

SEASIDE 



Our "Seaside" mixture will make a good turf 

 of green on sand where the finer Grasses will 

 not thrive. 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 used in 

 this mixture— drive down deeply in the sand and 

 remain permanently self-sustaining, if attention 

 is given to sprinkling during dry weather.
