THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LAWNS IN AMERICA 
This celebrated lawn grass seed mixture 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. By its use a 
deep green, velvety sward, free from clumps, can be produced in 
from four to six weeks’ time. 
The “HENDERSON” LAWN GRASS SEED is an intelligently 
arranged combination of fine-leaved, dwarf Grasses, which are at 
their best during different months of the year, thus keeping a lawn 
constantly covered with enduring green. It is impossible to make 
an enduring lawn by sowing seed of a single variety, which will 
only grow vigorously for a portion of the year. Kentucky Blue 
Grass for instance, which is sometimes recommended for lawns, 
grows but sparsely during midsummer, is slow to form a close sward, 
requiring two years to do that, and loses color in hot weather. 
Besides its country-wide use on the home grounds of the people, the 
“HENDERSON” LAWN GRASS SEED has invariably been 
chosen to produce lawns at many of the most famous institutions in 
the country. It has been used for a number of years with 
excellent results, on the Parade Grounds at the United States

i “ We have today at Standish Park a charming lawn that would vie in beauty 
with a well-kept English lawn. The lawn is now about fifty days old , and the 
seed used was the Henderson Lawn Grass Seed. There is no belter seed for a 
lawn to be found.” 
JOHN VAN NESS STANDISH. LL.D., 
June 7, 1917. Pres. Park Commission, Galesburg, 111. 
“ We had a beautiful lawn as the result of the seed we bought from you last 
fall, and we have recommended Henderson's Lawn Grass Seed to several that 
have ordered from you." 
March 21, 1917. Dr. II. K. FULKERSON, Somerset, Ky. 
“ Several years ago 1 used a peck of your lawn grass and secured a perfect 
lawn in one year.” 
Jan. 29, 1917. Mrs. MILTON CLAPP, Easley, S. C. 
”7 he grass seed I bought from you last spri7ig made the house look very 
popular. All the neighbors said we had the best lawn in town.”

The refreshing green and the close turf which attract the attention 
of the hundreds of thousands who annually visit the baseball grounds 
in this country, particularly the Polo Grounds in New York and 
Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, were produced with the “HENDERSON” 
LAWN GRASS SEED. At the various International Expositions 
held in the United States — notably the Centennial at Phila¬ 
delphia, the Columbian at Chicago, the Pan-American at Buffalo, 
the Louisiana Purchase at St. Louis, the Lewis & Clark at 
Portland, and the Jamestown at Norfolk.—gold medals were 
awarded to lawns made with the “HENDERSON” LAWN 
GRASS SEED. 
The “HENDERSON” LAWN GRASS SEED is in reality as 
cheap as any other, notwithstanding its superior quality. For while 
many mixtures on the market are sold at - 14 lbs. to the bushel 
the “ HENDERSON ” LAWN GRASS SEED is sold at 20 lbs. per 
bushel, being practically free from chaff and other foreign matter. 
The quantity required for new lawns is 5 bushels per acre. For 
a plot 15 x 20, or 300 square feet, use 1 quart. For renovat¬ 
ing old lawns, use one-half of above quantities. Full instructions 
in every bag and package. 
“ Everybody talks about our lawn and don't see how we got such a good stand 
just planting in June. I told them we got the seed from Peter Henderson &* 
Co. It is now September and it has been cut five limes and is ready to cut 
again. It is beautiful.” 
Sept. 26, 1917. Mrs. A. A. SPA UR, Sidney, Mont. 
“ I have been getting your best lawn grass mixture from you every year and 
it has proven most satisfactory. I have had worlds of compliments on my 
lawn, which I think is the prettiest in Athens. Everybody wants to know how 
it is done. I simply tell them it is Henderson’s seed.” 
Sept. 4, 1917. F. A. LIPSCOMB, Athens, Ga . 
“ You may be pleased to know that I sowed some of your lawn grass seed 
on the first of June and it is now more than an inch high, just ten days after 
planting. To say that I am delighted is putting it mildly.” 
June 10, 1917. Mrs. E. A. WEN HOLD, Bethlehem, Pa.
