THE "HENDERSON" 

 LAWN GRASS SEED. 



Sown in the Fall Produces Enduring Turf 

 Which Withstands Summer Droughts. 



The fall season is especially favorable to the growth of young 

 grass, for at that season the seeds have the benefit of thoroughly 

 warmed ground and a copious rainfall, which hastens germina- 

 tion and enables the grass to become firmly established before 

 winter sets in. Then, on the opening of spring, the grass immedi- 

 ately recommences its growth, takes full possession of the ground, 

 and preverts weeds from obtaining a foothold. A lawn grown in 

 this way will endure summer drought much better than a spring- 

 sown lawn. The "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed 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. It is 

 composed of fine-leaved, dwarf, evergreen grasses, which produce a 

 closely interwoven, firm, deep and elastic turf, that will maintain from 

 ear to year a covering of enduring green. Such results can be ob- 

 ned only by sowing a combination of grasses, which arrive at their best 

 lg different months of the year, so that the lawn is perpetually covered 

 erdure. It is impossible to make a good lawn by sowing seeds of a single 

 uch as Kentucky Blue Grass, for example, which grows very sparsely and 

 in midsummer. Only by sowing an intelligently arranged combina- 

 tion of grasses can a permanent greensward be maintained. The quantity required 

 for new lawns is 5 bushels per acre. For a plot 15x20, or 300 square feet, use 1 quart. 

 For renovating old lawns, use one-fourth to one-half of above quantities. Full instruc- 

 tions in every bag and package. 

 The "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed is in reality as cheap as any other, notwithstanding its superior quality, for, while, many mixtures on the market weigh 

 only 14 pounds to the bushel, the "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed weighs 2.) pounds per measured bushel, being entirely free from chad and other foreign matter.
