44 HENDERSON'S AUTUMN CATALOGUE— 1929— LAWN GRASS SEEDS 



"Special Bent Formula" 



Lawn Grass Seed Mixture 



EVERY LAWN A PUTTING GREEN 



On account 01 the growing popularity of golf in recent years, the 

 question has niany time9 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 fertilizer 

 and plenty of water to maintain a perfect lawn. 



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

 Broadcast this, using five pounds for each 200 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 

 10 x 30 or 300 square feet. Price, transportation paid in the U. S., 

 S1.25 per lb.: S lbs. S3. 50: 20 lbs. S20.00: 100 lbs. lots and up- 

 ward, $90.00 per 100 lbs. 



Henderson's "Shady Nook" 



Lawn Grass Seed 



For unsightly bare spots under 

 the shade of trees, which have 

 baffled all efforts to get into grass. 

 It is a combination of fine, dwarf 

 growing evergreen varieties, which 

 in their wild or natural state 

 are to be found growing in 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 bushel to each thousand square 

 feet, or forty bushels to the acre, is an 

 excellent corrective and sweetener, 

 but the moss should be first removed 

 by the use of a sharp rake. (Sec 

 illustration.)

■ "SHADY NOOK' 



LAWN GRASS SEED 







Henderson's "Terrace Sod" 

 Lawn Grass Seed 



A special mixture of grass, suited 

 for sowing on terraces, embankments 

 and hillsides. These grasses produce 

 long, strong, spreading roots, thus 

 preventing heavy rains from washing 

 out the soil. These grasses will with- 

 stand drought and exposure, thrive 

 on shallow soils, and at the same time 

 produce a green turf throughout the 

 season. There need be no fear of 

 Introducing coarse grasses into the 

 lawn by sowing this mixture, for, 

 though strong-rooted, the grasses are 

 fine-leaved.

 $10.00 bu. of 20 lbs. 



Henderson's "Sunny South" 



Lawn Grass Seed 



It is especially prepared for the South, and contains the best grasses 

 that are by nature adapted for hot, dry situations. In the South, 

 Bermuda Grass is frequently used, but it remains green only in the 

 summer months, turning brown in winter; but by using this mixture, 

 and with some care and attention to watering, an all-the-year-round 

 lawn can be maintained in Southern States where grasses do not 

 usually thrive. (See illustration.)

Henderson's "Seaside" 



Lawn Grass Seed 



Along our seacoast there are many beautiful summer homes with 

 such sandy saline surroundings that a turf of lawn grasses cannot be 

 produced. We have made up a mixture of special grasses to thrive 

 under these trying conditions and offer it for the benefit of those who 

 may be having trouble in getting grass to grow. Our Seaside mixture 

 will make a good turf of green on sand where the finer grasses will not 

 thrive, though 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. Use at the rate of one quart for 

 200 square feet; 5 to 6 bushels per acre.
