Sow The Henderson' Lawn Grass Seed 



and Obtain a Grassy Carpet of Unrivalled Emerald Green 

 IN FOUR WEEKS FROM SOWING IT IS READY FOR MOWING 



It is the result 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 about four to six weeks' time. 



The "Henderson" LAWN GRASS SEED is a carefully arranged 

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

 during different months of the year, thus keeping a lawn constantly 

 covered with enduring green. It is impossible to make a perma- 

 nent lawn by sowing seed of a single variety, which will only grow 

 vigorously for a portion of the year. Kentucky Blue Grass, for 

 instance, which is sometimes exclusively recommended for lawns, 

 requires two years to form a close sward, and also loses color in 

 hot weather.

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 fur- 

 ther difficulty. It 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 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 cor- 

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

SPECIAL "BENT FORMULA" 



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 type. 

 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 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.

The turf required for outdoor sports must be closely 

 interwoven, firm, elastic, smooth, and durable to 

 stand the wear and tear. These requirements are 

 met in this mixture, which is composed of fibrous, 

 deep-rooting Grasses that soread and intermingle. 

 The seeds are blended in the proper proportions to 

 form and maintain a tough matted sward, constantly 

 green, even in dry weather.

This is a special mixture of Grasses best suited for 

 sowing on terraces, embankments and hillsides; 

 Grasses that produce long, strong, spreading 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 atten- 

 tion is given to sprinkling during dry weather.
