THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LAWNS IN AMERICA ARE MADE WITH 
THE "HENDERSON" LAWN GRASS SEED 
IT IS USED AND PRAISED BY THOUSANDS FROM THE ATLANTIC TO THE PACIFIC 
The “Henderson” Lawn Grass Seed has been the means of adorning innumerable American homes with what has been aptly 
described as the “GAIETY OF GRASS,” that finishing touch to the home beautiful which is so essential and necessary — a perfect 
and enduring lawn. That home-owners in all parts of the United States appreciate and value at its true worth this celebrated mix¬ 
ture is evidenced by the large number of letters of recommendation annually received by us. A few of those sent to us during the year 
1913 we print on the opposite page, and, as will be seen, they not only confirm our somewhat conservative claims as to the value of 
this far-famed Ifiwn mixture, but go further than we have hitherto done in praise and commendation. The “Henderson” Lawn 
Grass Seed 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. 
The “Henderson” Lawn Grass Seed is composed of fine-leaved, 
dwarf Grasses, which produce closely interwoven, deep and 
elastic turf that maintains from year to year lawns of enduring 
green. This continuous covering of verdure is obtained by 
including in the mixture Grasses which arrive at their best during 
different months of the year, one variety constantly succeeding 
another. It is impossible to make an enduring lawn by sowing 
seeds of a single variety which will only grow vigorously during 
a portion of the year. Kentucky Blue Grass, for instance — 
which is sometimes recommended for lawns — grows but sparsely 
during midsummer, besides losing color during hot weather, 
when it becomes a pale, yellowish green. The smooth and 
velvety sward produced by The “Henderson” Lawn Grass 
Seed remains at all times a dark green, rich and luxuriant. 
The “Henderson” Lawn Grass is in reality as cheap as any 
other, notwithstanding its superior quality. For while many mix¬ 
tures on the market weigh only 14 lbs. to the bushel. The “Hender¬ 
son” Lawn Grass Seed weighs 20 lbs. per measured bushel, being 
entirely free from chaff and other foreign matter. {See cut.) 
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 the International Expositions held in the 
United States—notably the Centennial at Philadelphia, the 
Columbian at Chicago, the Pan-American at Buffalo, the Lewis 
& Clark at Portland, and the Jamestown at Norfolk. At all 
these great industrial congresses it has been our privilege to 
furnish the emerald setting for many of the beautiful edifices 
designed by the great architects of the world. 
'I'he brilliant color scheme adopted for these buildings—white, 
red and yellow—made these spacious green lawns most accep¬ 
table and restful to the eye, attracted the attention of every 
visitor and helped to make The “HENDERSON” LAWN 
GRASS SEED famous throughout the country. 
As is usual at all these great undertakings everything was 
delayed to the last moment, and we were required to produce the 
lawns in a few weeks’ time. We successfully accomplished this in 
from four to six weeks and as the superintendent of grounds at the 
Jamestown E.xposition remarked,“It wasamiracle in lawn making.”
