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 interwoven, 
firm, elastic, smooth, and durable to stand the wear and 
tear.' These requirements are met in Henderson’s 
“Tough Turf” Mixture, which is composed of native 
and acclimated foreign fine-leaved, fibrous, deep-rooting 
Grasses that spread and intermingle, the seeds of which 
are blended in the proper proportions to form and main¬ 
tain a tough, matted sward, constantly green, even in 
dry weather. These varieties of Grasses being low-grow¬ 
ing and fine-leaved, require to be sown liberally if a play¬ 
ing turf is desired quickly; not less than one quart should 
be used for 300 square feet, or five bushels per acre; half 
that quantity will do for renovating.

“ You will perhaps be pleased lo know that our tennis 
court, made last year by sowing your ‘Tough Turf’ Crass 
Seed, was a great success. We commenced mowing it in 
about 5 weeks, and were playing on it in 6 weeks' lime with¬ 
out any apparent injury, as the grass kept thickening up 
all the time, and is a beautiful bit of turf. We are delighted."

Mixtures we offer below arc composed of foreign Grasses that thrive 
here, with the addition of several fine American varieties, and are the
