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 Hen¬ 
derson’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 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; 
half that quantity will do for renovating. (See cut.)
