Tough Turf G J^ 



A.s it is the opinion of authorities on field sports, that a perfect tur' 

 is an absolute necessitv for perfect play, and because the constant 

 grilling of hard foot-wear on a sports field demands a turf composed 

 of "a combination of deep-rooting, fine-leaved grasses possessing 

 extraordinary resistant and tenacious qualities, it is for these reasons 

 that Hendersons Athletic Field Grass Seed Mixture is invariably 

 chosen bv Collegiate and Scholastic, as well as by Professional League. 

 Mercantile and other Athletic. Baseball and Football Associations. 



By conducting an Extensive Series of PLxpenments at our Trial 

 Grounds with combinations oi grasses, and subjecting the resulting 

 turf to a treatment as rigorous as it would receive on any Athletic 

 Field, we have developed a mixture of grass seeds upon which we can 

 confidently stake our reputation of seventy-nine years 



Henderson's Athletic Field Grass Seed Mixture produces a 

 close, compact and densely matted turf of great resiliency, though 

 free from slipperiness. The grasses are fine-leaved, deep-rooting and 

 of an attractive, refreshing green. Tha seed, if sown under prope- 

 conditions, should form a turf, ready tor mowing, in about torn weeks 

 from sowing
