Lawn Grass Seed Mixture 



Will Produce a Grassy Carpet of Unrivalled Emerald Green 

 Which in FOUR WEEKS FROM SOWING Will Be READY FOR MOWING 



['his celebrated 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 

 lour to six weeks' time. 



The "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed is an intelligently arranged 

 combination of fine-Jeaved, dwarf Grasses, -which are at their best 

 ■ luring 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 vigor- 

 ously for a portion of the year. Kentucky Blue Grass, for instance, 

 which is sometimes recommended for lawns, grows but sparsely 

 during midsummer, 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, 

 "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed has invariably been chosen to 

 produce lawns at many of the most famous institutions in the coun- 

 try. 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. V. 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 Ebbetts Field in Brooklyn, were produced 

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

 national Expositions held in the I'nited States — notably the Cen- 

 tennial at Philadelphia, the Columbian at ( hicago, the Pan-Ameri- 

 can at Buffalo, the Louisiana Purchase at St. Louis, the Lewis & 

 (lark at Portland, and the Jamestown at Norfolk — gold medals were 

 awarded to lawns made with the "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed.

Special Bent Formula" 



Lawn Grass Seed Mixture 



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. 

 Starvation of the grass plants is the most frequent cause of unsatis- 

 factory lawns, and grass needs constant small applications of fer- 

 tilizer and plenty of water to maintain a perfect lawn. 



Also, every spring apply a dressing of Hendersop's Lawn Enricher. 

 Broadcast this, using five pounds for each 2*00 square feet, and water 

 it in thoroughly with a hose. (See 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.; 5 lbs. $5.50; 20 lbs. $20.00; 100 lbs lots and upward, 

 $90.00 per 100 lbs. 



White Dutch Clover 



An excellent clover for lawns, makes a close, compact growth, covering 

 the ground like a carpet. Thrives well on all soils.
