Henderson’s golf course grass seed 
Henderson’s “Athletic Field” 
Grass Seed Mixture 
For Baseball, Polo, Football, Cricket Grounds, etc., etc. 
This is a special blend of deep-rooting, fine-leaved, turf-forming Grasses, 
especially suited for Baseball Grounds, Polo Grounds, Cricket Grounds, 
etc. This mixture forms a thick, strong, enduring turf that will stand any 
amount of hard usage without showing wear and tear. It grows quickly, 
and if soil and conditions are at all favorable with attention to rolling 
and mowing, should be ready for hard use in eight weeks from sowing. 
The refreshing green and the close turf—which have attracted the 
attention of hundreds of thousands of patrons of the principal Baseball 
Parks and Polo Grounds of the country—were produced by this special 
mixture of The Henderson Grass Seed. Among others we may mention 
the Polo Grounds at Meadowbrook, where the famous international 
match was played in June, 1914; Newport, Lakewood, Rockaway Hunt, 
Saratoga, also some of the leading Baseball Parks in the country, in¬ 
cluding the Polo Grounds in New York, Ebbets Field and Washington 
Park in Brooklyn . 
Sow 100 to 150 lbs. per acre, according to soil conditions. 
Price, delivered free in the U. S., per lb. 30c., 100 lbs. $25.00. 
A 14-YEAR TEST PROVES ITS VALUE 
“Our Polo Grounds and lawns at Meadowbrook were laid down 14 years 
ago with the special mixture of TIIE IIENDERSO N ‘ATHLETIC 
FI ELD’ GRASS SEED MI XT URE and we have renovated them from 
time to time with the same mixture. We would not use any other brand. 
The condition of these grounds at all seasons of the year is the best possible 
testimonial to the value of your seed. For forming a springy, yet compact 
turf, that will withstand the hard usage incidental to the game of polo, it is 
all that can be desired."

WARNING—The best of seed is necessary for use on all 
grounds devoted to sport. Years of experience have shown us that the 
best results are obtained in the A MERICA N CLIMA TE, and under 
AMERICAN CONDITIONS by sowing chiefly AMERICAN- 
GROWN SEEDS. 
HENDERSON’S 
Golf Course Grass Seed 
Mixtures 
For Fair Greens and Putting Greens. Laying Down 
New Courses and Renovating Old Ones 
We have had great experience with, and have given much 
attention and close study to Grasses suitable for Golf Links. 
When Golf first became a popular game in this country and 
courses were laid out, it was soon found that many Grasses 
used with good results on European courses would not thrive 
in the climate of the United States. 
We then made exhaustive experiments wdth every known 
variety of Grass in our trial grounds at Jersey City, N. J., 
and we also sent samples to various sections of the country 
for trial and report. As a result of these experiences we made 
up our now well-known mixtures—HENDERSON’S GOLF 
COURSE GRASS SEED MIXTURES both for Putting 
Greens and Fair Greens. They are undoubtedly the best for 
the AMERICAN CLIMATE and AMERICAN CONDI¬ 
TIONS, being composed principally of native Grasses, 
mingled with a few imported varieties. Many of the finest 
courses in America today were laid down with these mixtures, 
and with proper care the finest Putting Greens and Fair 
Greens in the world can be successfully rivaled. Henderson’s 
Golf Course mixtures are made up to suit the grounds and 
soil to be seeded, low and wet, high and dry, sandy or clayey, 
as the case may be, and a description of the soil and notes on 
climate and the lay of the land should be sent when ordering.

HENDERSON’S 
Tough Turf Grass Seed Mixture 
Henderson’s ‘‘Tough Turf” Grass Seed is a blend of Grasses especially 
suited for the making of Grass Tennis Courts, Croquet Grounds, Bowling 
Greens, etc. The turf required for outdoor sports must be closely inter¬ 
woven, firm, elastic, smooth, and durable to stand the wear and tear. These 
requirements are met in Henderson’s “ Tough Turf" Mixture, which is com¬ 
posed of fibrous, deep-rooting Grasses that spread and intermingle. The 
seeds are blended in the proper proportions to form and maintain a tough 
matted sward, constantly green, even in dry weather. These varieties of 
Grasses, being low-growing and fine-leaved, require to be sown liberally if a 
playing turf is desired quickly; not less than one quart should be used for 300 
square feet, or five bushels per acre, although 50 per cent, more may be used 
with advantage; half that quantity will do for renovating. 
Price, delivered free in the U. S., 30c. qt., $1.00 for 4 qts., $1.75 pk. of 
5 lbs., $6.00 bu. of 20 lbs.
