HENDERSON'S 
“SHADY NOOK” 
LAWN GRASS SEED 
On nearly all lawns there are unsightly bare spots 
under the shade of trees, which have baffled all efforts 
to get into Grass, but with this mixture 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 sheltered 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 applica¬ 
tion 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.

"I sowed some of your 'Shady Nook' Lawn Grass 
Seed, not over two weeks ago and some of it is up three 
inches high. People around here do not know what to 
think about it, as they never saw grass grow in the shade 
like it. S. D. IIUTCHINS, Piqua, Ohio.

Henderson's “SUNNY SOUTH" 
LAWN GRASS SEED 
It is especially prepared for the South, and contains all 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.

“The Sunny South Lawn Grass received from you is the very article for our 
soil and climate. Our new lawns in this military post attest the value of this grass. ”

For those who have preference for any one variety of Grass, or desire to make up Special Mixtures of their own, we 
can supply finest Recleaned qualities of the separate Grasses as offered on page 71 
A special mixture of Grasses best suited for sowing on terraces, embankments 
and hillsides; Grasses that produce long, strong, spreading roots, thus preventing 
heavy rains from washing them out; that will withstand drought and exposure, 
thrive on shallow soils, and at the same time produce a rich, velvety green turf 
throughout the season. I here need be no fear of introducing coarse Grasses 
into your lawn by sowing this mixture, for, though strong-rooted, the Grasses 
are equally as fine-leaved as those used in the “ Henderson Lawn Grass” mixture.

“Your ‘Terrace Sod' Lawn Grass Seed has made our terraces beautiful and green, 
and it has bound the soil so firmly that even excessive rains have not caused a wash¬ 
out." ALFRED DONNELLY ( Gardener to C. II. Mackay, Esq.), Roslyn, N. Y. 
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 mixture of special Grasses to thrive 
under these trying conditions that we have concluded to* offer it for the benefit 
of ochers who may be having the same “trouble in getting Grass to grow.” 
Our “Seaside” mixture will make a good turf of green on sand where the finer 
Grasses are 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 “Seaside” Grass seed 
is sown, to enable the young Grass to get a start, 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 dur¬ 
ing dry weather. Use at the rate of one quart for 300 square feet; 5 bushels 
per acre.

“ My small lawn produced from your Seaside Grass Seed has been most satisfac¬ 
tory, considering the extremely sandy soil. ” FRANK II. COLE, Asbury Park.N. J.
