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 dur¬ 
able 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 maintain a tough, 
matted sward, constantly green, even in dry weather. These va¬ 
rieties 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.) 
Price, delivered free in the U. S., 30c. qt., $1.00 for 4 qts.,

“ You will perhaps be pleased to know that our tennis court, 
made last year by sowing your ‘Tough Turf' Grass Seed, was 
a great success. We commenced mowing it in about 5 weeks, 
and were playing on in it 6 weeks' time without any apparent 
injury, as the grass kept thickening up all the time, and is a beautiful bit of 
turf. We are delighted .” Miss LOUISE MACDOWELL, Lenox, Mass.

Mixture forms a thick, strong, enduring turf that will stand any amount of 
hard usage without showing wear and tear. It grows quickly, and if soil and 
conditions are at all favorable, with attention to rolling and mowing, should be 
ready for hard use in eight weeks from sowing. The polo grounds at Lakewood, 
Newport, Meadowbrook, Rockaway Hunt, Saratoga and others, were laid 
with this Special Grass Seed. 
Sow 50 to 100 lbs. per acre; the larger quantity if quick and very best results 
are desired.

"7 have had from you at different times many bushels of Henderson's *Special ’ 
Grass Seed Mixture for use on cricket grounds, and it has always given excellent 
satisfaction. In Lawrence we used it on the Merrimack Cricket Club grounds, 
and the course had a good name all over the State." 
JOS. W. HARRISON, Lowell, Mass. 
We have given much attention to Grasses for Golf Courses. The Mixtures 
we offer below are composed of foreign Grasses that thrive here, with the addi¬ 
tion of several fine American varieties, and are the result of experiments con¬ 
ducted on our grounds, as well as careful watching for several years of the prac¬ 
tical results obtained on Golf Courses sown with our Grass seeds. By the use 
of these Mixtures, and with proper care, the finest Fair Greens and Putting 
Greens in the world can be successfully rivaled. If conditions are favorable, 
a good playing turf may be secured in eight weeks from time of sowing, and will 
last indefinitely. (See cut.) 
We will be pleased to correspond with and advise Greens Committees.
