T HERE is nothing more attractive than artistically treated home grounds; and of the essential features none is so important 
as a beautiful lawn—the rich, green, velvety turf being the heart and life of all. A lawn may be formed by laying turf or by 
sowing seed. The gain in time by sodding is so slight as to scarcely be worthy of consideration, while the results 
obtained by both methods are not to be compared. Sods in dry weather leave crevices about which the Grass dies out; then 
the Grasses that compose a pasture or roadside sod (generally the kind used for “sodding lawns ) are not at all the best sorts for iorm- 
ing a perfect lawn, and will not give a smooth, elegant surface. 
The “Henderson” Lawn Grass Seed produces a perfect and 
enduring lawn of luxuriant richness, with closely interwoven, 
firm, deep and elastic turf, and it is often ready for cutting 
in four weeks from time of sowing. This celebrated Lawn 
Grass is composed of a thoroughly balanced combination of 
various native and foreign fine-leaved, deep-rooting Grasses of 
interweaving habit, that flourish under our varied conditions, 
soils and climates, growing during different seasons of the year, 
so that a deep green, smooth, and velvety sward, free from 
clumps, is maintained from snow to snow, year after year, and 
without burning brown in summer, its constant luxuriance 
rivaling the famous lawns of Old England. 
The Beautiful Lawns at the Pan-American Exposition, 
Buffalo, also at the World’s Fair in Chicago, the Lewis and 
Clark Exposition in Portland, Oregon, and the Jamestown 
Exposition, Norfolk, Va., were produced in less than six weeks’ 
time with The “Henderson” Lawn Grass Seed, which was 
awarded the highest medal at these Expositions; but what we 
prize more than gold medals are the hundreds of letters of 
praise we have on file from the users of The “Henderson” 
Regarding Kentucky Blue Grass, so widely advertised as an 
ideal lawn Grass, it has merits and demerits. Where Blue 
Grass thrives it eventually makes a good lawn, but it is slow 
to thicken up, requiring not less than two years to form a 
good sward, and does not hold its color in hot weather; it will 
not thrive on acid soils, and a large portion of soil in the lower 
altitudes, especially in the Coast States, is inclined to acid¬ 
ity. Kentucky Blue Grass is used for lawns on limestone soils, 
but; the results of this or any one Grass in no way compare 
with the beauty and fine velvety texture of lawns made with 
an intelligently blended mixture of Grasses of neat, close, 
interweaving growth, such as compose the “Henderson” Lawn 
Grass mixture; and besides, the latter will make a thick, close 
turf in a few weeks’ time. 
The “Henderson” Lawn Grass Seed is, relatively speaking, 
the cheapest seed offered, because, while other Lawn Grass 
mixtures on the market will not average over 14 lbs. to the 
bushel, this, being freed from chaff, weighs 20 lbs. per meas¬ 
ured bushel. It is also the Purest, Cleanest and Heaviest 
Lawn Grass seed ever offered and it is absolutely free from 
weed seeds.
