Henderson's "Tough Turf" Grass seed is a blend of Grasses 

 especially suited for the making of Grass tennis courts, croquet 

 grounds, bowling greens, etc. The turf required for outdoor 

 sports must be closely interwoven, firm, elastic, smooth, and dur- 

 able to stand the wear and tear. These requirements are met 

 in Henderson's "Tough Turf" Mixture, which is composed of 

 native and acclimated foreign fine-leaved, fibrous, deep-rooting 

 Grasses that spread and intermingle, the seeds of which are 

 blended in the proper proportions to form and maintain a tough, 

 matted sward, constantly green, even in dry weather. These va- 

 rieties of Grasses being low-growing and fine-leaved, require to 

 be sown liberally if a playing turf is desired quickly; not less 

 than one quart should be used for 300 square feet, or five bushels 

 per acre; half that quantity will do for renovating. {See cut.)
