T HERE is nothing more charming than a well-designed 
house surrounded by artistically treated grounds; and of 
the essential features of home grounds none is so important 
as a beautiful lawn—the rich, smooth, 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 separate in dry weather, leaving 
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 forming a 
perfect lawn, and will not give a smooth, elegant surface. 
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 soils in the lower 
altitudes, especially in the Coast States, are inclined to acidity. 
Kentucky Blue Grass is quite extensively used for lawns on the 
Pacific Coast and on the limestone soils of Kentucky, etc., 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 intelli¬ 
gently 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 produces a perfect 
and enduring lawn of luxuriant richness, with closely inter¬ 
woven, 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 and the Lewis and 
Clark Exposition in Portland, Oregon, were produced in less 
than six weeks’time with The “Henderson”Lawn GrassSeed, 
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 “Hender¬ 
son” Lawn Grass Seed in almost every State in the Union. 
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 measured 
bushel. It is also the Purest, Cleanest and Heaviest lawn 
grass seed ever offered and it is absolutely free from 
weed seeds.
