LAWM GRASS SEED 



TERRACE SOD 



LAWN GRASS SEED 



A special mixture of grasses best suited for sowing on terraces, 

 -^^ railroad embankments and side hills — grasses that produce 

 strong, spreading roots, thus preventing heavy rains from wash- 

 ing them out; that will withstand drought and exposure, thrive 

 on shallow soils, and at the same time produce a rich, velvety 

 green turf thiviughout the season. There need be no fear of in- 

 troducing coarse grasses into your lawn by solving this mixture, 

 for though strong-rooted, the grasses are equally as tine as those 

 used in the "Henderson" nrixture. 



Price, delivered tree in the U. S., 35c. qt., $1.25 for 

 4 qts., $2.00 pk., $7.00 bus. of 20 lbs. 



"1 have used ymr 'Henderson' Laun and Terraee Sod grass 

 seeds on the lawns and banks here with most excellent effect."

"SUNNY SOUTH^^ 



"SHADY NOOK" 



Lawn Grass Seed 



On nearly all lawns there are unsiglitly 

 bare spots under the shade of trees, which 

 have baffled all efforts to get into grass, but 

 with this mixtvire there need be no further 

 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 shel- 

 tered 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 

 bog 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 sliould be first re- 

 moved by the use of a sharp rako.

 Grass Seed,iohich did unusually well in our yard, where 

 we have many oaks and sugar maples."

HENDERSON^S "SEA-SIDE" 



Lawn Grass Seed 



Along our seacoast there are many beautiful summer homes and 

 resorts with such sandy saline surroundings that a turf of the favorite 

 lawn grasses cannot be produced. We have so often made up a mix- 

 ture of special grasses to thrive under these trying conditions that we 

 have concluded to offer it for the benefit of others who may be ha^^ng 

 the same "trouble in getting grass to gi'ow." We do not claim that 

 our "Sea Side" Lawn Grass will make a lawn equaling in fine velvety 

 texture those produced with the "Henderson Lawn Grass Seed," but 

 our "Sea Side" mixture will make a good turf of green on sand where 

 the finer grasses ai'e not so likely to thrive, though, of course, the 

 sand must be top-dressed with not less than 2 inches of soil before 

 even our "Sea Side" grass seed is so%vn, to enable the young grass 

 to get a stax-t, after which the long roots — peculiar to the varieties 

 we use in this mixture — drive down deeply in the sand and remain 

 permanently self-sustaining, if attention is given to sprinkling during 

 dry weather. 



The lawns surrounding the Manhattan Beach and Oriental Hotels. 

 Long Islivnd, illusti'ated herewith, were made ye.ars ago under the 

 exact conditions we describe above with our special "Sea Side" Lawn 

 Grass mixture, and they still remain in beautiful condition, excepting 

 in places where the salt spray dashes. Use at the rate of one quart 

 for 300 square feet; .5 bushels per acre. 



Price, delivered free in the U. S., 25c. qt., 75c. for 4 qts., 

 $1.35 pk., $4.50 bus. 



"My small lawn produced from your Sea-Side Grass Seed has been 

 -most satisfactory, considering the extremely sandy soil."
