FAMOUS SINCE THE ADVENT OF GOLF IN AMERICA 



Grass Seed Mixtures are Delivered Transportation Paid in the U. S., by Express, Freight or Parcel Post, at Our Option 



Mixtures of Grass Seeds that have been scientifically blended by experts in the production of turf for Golf Courses are preferred by experienced 

 greenkeepers. They have learned that a quicker and more uniform stand of grass is obtained where a mixture is employed; also that the resulting 

 turf possesses greater qualities of endurance. 



In the first place a mixed turf is not so readily influenced by adverse atmospheric conditions of drought or excessive moisture as one composed 

 of a single variety of grass, because the feeding roots are not all grouped in the same depth of soil and consequently are not all affected by a localized 

 soil condition. Perhaps the paramount advantage, however, lies in the fact that it has been proven that turf composed of a mixture of grasses is far 

 less susceptible to the ravages of fungus diseases — like Brown Patch— than a Green containing one variety of grass only. 



HENDERSON'S GRASS SEED MIXTURES are the result of exhaustive research, and an extensive series of experiments and tests at our 

 own trial grounds in New Jersey as well as in test plots in various sections of the country. These mixtures are composed of the most suitable native 

 Grasses, mingled with the best imported varieties. Henderson's Grass Seed Mixtures are famous since the advent of Golf in America, as we were 

 the pioneers in the production of turf for Golf Courses. Many of the finest courses in America today were laid down with these mixtures. They are 

 blended to suit the ground to be seeded; if your conditions are out of the ordinary, a description of the soil and notes on climate and the lay of the 

 land should be sent when ordering. See page 4 for Henderson's Re-cleaned Varieties of Grasses used on Golf Courses. 



Putting Green Mixture 



Putting Greens sown with a properly blended mixture of grasses 

 are in most cases far superior to those on which only one variety was 

 sown. They come into play quicker after seeding; they present a 

 more attractive appearance from early spring to late fall; and due to 

 the fact that the roots draw their nourishment from various depths 

 in the soil, a more resistant and durable turf is formed. 



Henderson's Putting Green Mixture is the best that scientific 

 skill and many years of experience can produce. Sow from 75 to 100 

 lbs. for the average sized 90 x 90 ft. green. 



Price, lb. 90c; 25 lbs. (1 bushel) $20.00; 100 lbs. $75.00; trans 

 portation paid. 



Special Mixture for the Rough 



As more attention is now given to the refinements of the game, the 

 Rough is no longer allowed to be covered with weeds, but is sown 

 with a recleaned grass seed mixture such as offered here in order to 

 produce a fair, though not unduly troublesome penalty for the 

 plavers. 



Price, lb. 55c; 25 lbs. (1 Bushel) $11.50; 100 lbs. $40.00; trans- 

 portation paid. 



Special Mixture for Bunkers 



As bunkers and mounds frequently become extremely dry and 

 parched, we have developed a mixture that will give satisfaction 

 under these trying conditions. 



Price, lb. 65c; 25 lbs. (1 Bushel) $13.75; 100 lbs. $50.00; trans- 

 portation paid. 



Fairway Mixture 



On most Golf Courses the Fairways receive far less attention than 

 the Putting Greens; it is therefore important that a mixture of grass 

 seeds be sown that will produce a fine, well Unit elastic turf, requiring 

 a minimum amount of attention. The importance of good Fairways 

 cannot be overestimated, for walking on a springy turf that is 

 pleasing to the eye, is one of the added attractions of the game. 



Henderson's Fairway Mixture is specially blended to fulfil 

 these requirements. Sow 150 to 200 lbs. per acre, according to the 

 nature of the soil. For renovating, use half this amount. 



Price, lb. 60c; 25 lbs. (1 Bushel) $12.50; 100 lbs. $45.00; trans- 

 portation paid. 



Special Mixture for Tees 



The Tees are the most abused parts of any golf course. Not only 

 must they be able to withstand the divot taking onslaughts of the 

 novices, but they also are obliged to endure the excessive foot-wear 

 of all the players. This Special Mixture is composed of extremely 

 deep rooting grasses that will stand great wear, combined with the 

 stoloniferous types that will cover the divot scars quickly. Sow at 

 the rate of 10 lbs. to 1,000 square feet. 



Price, lb. 65c; 25 lbs. (1 Bushel) $13.75; 100 lbs. $50. 00;. trans- 

 portation paid.
