IT IS USED AND PRAISED BY THOUSANDS FROM MAINE TO CALIFORNIA 



THERE is nothing more attractive than artistically treated home grounds; and of the essential features none is so important 

 as a beautiful lawn — the rich, green, velvety turf being the heart and life of all. A lawn may be formed by laying turf or by 

 sowing seed. The gain in time by sodding is so slight as to scarcely be worthy of consideration, while the results 

 obtained by both methods are not to be compared. Sods in dry weather leave crevices about which the Grass dies out; then 

 the Grasses that compose a pasture or roadside sod (generally the kind used for "sodding lawns' ' ) are not at all the best sorts for form- 

 ing a perfect lawn, and will not give a smooth, elegant surface. 



The "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed produces a perfect and 

 enduring lawn of luxuriant richness, wdth closely interwoven, 

 firm, deep and elastic turf, and it is often ready for cutting 

 in four weeks from time of sowing. This celebrated Lawn 

 Grass is composed of a thoroughly balanced combination of 

 various native and foreign fine-leaved, deep-rooting Grasses of 

 interweaving habit, that flourish under our varied conditions, 

 soils and climates, growing during different seasons of the year, 

 so that a deep green, smooth, and velvety sward, free from 

 clumps, is maintained from snow to snow, year after year, and 

 without burning brown in summer, its constant luxuriance 

 rivaling the famous lawns of Old England. 



The Beautiful Lawns at the Pan-American Exposition, 

 Buffalo, also at the , World's Fair in Chicago, the Lewis and 

 Clark Exposition in Portland, Oregon, and the Jamestown 

 Exposition, Norfolk, Va., were produced in less than six weeks' 

 time with The "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed, which was 

 awarded the highest medal at these Expositions; but what we 

 prize more than gold medals are the hundreds of letters of 

 praise we have on file from the users of The "Henderson" 



Regarding Kentucky Blue Grass, so widely advertised as an 

 ideal lawn Grass, it has merits and demerits. Where Blue 

 Grass thrives it eventually makes a good lawn, but it is slow 

 to thicken up, requiring not less than two years to form a 

 good sward, and does not hold its color in hot weather; it will 

 not thrive on acid soils, and a large portion of soil in the lower 

 altitudes, especially in the Coast States, is inclined to acid- 

 ity. Kentucky Blue Grass is used for lawns on limestone soils, 

 but the results of this or any one Grass in no way compare 

 with the beauty and fine velvety texture of lawns made with 

 an intelligently blended mixture of Grasses of neat, close, 

 interweaving growth, such as compose the "Henderson" Lawn 

 Grass mixture; and besides, the latter will make a thick, close 

 turf in a few weeks' time. 



The "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed is, relatively speaking, 

 the cheapest seed offered, because, while other Lawn Grass 

 mixtures on the market will not average over 14 lbs. to the 

 bushel, this, being freed from chaff, weighs 20 lbs. per meas- 

 ured bushel. It is also the Purest, Cleanest and Heaviest 

 Lawn Grass seed ever offered and it is absolutely free from 

 weed seeds.
