Sow The Henderson” Lawn Grass Seed 
and Obtain a Grassy Carpet of Unrivalled Emerald Green 
IN FOUR WEEKS FROM SOWING IT IS READY FOR MCWING 
Henderson's celebrated Lawn Grass Seed Mixture has been thor- 
oughly tested by a country-wide use during three-quarters of a 
century. It is the fruit of years of ‘our personal experience and 
study, coupled with that of many of America's foremost gardeners, 
who steadfastly maintain and unite with us in saying that it has no 
superior for American conditions and the American climate. The 
rapidity with which it will form a deep green velvety turf, has been 
the delight of gardeners since its introduction, for, under ordinary 
conditions, the bare soil will be clothed with an emerald carpet of 
living green in four weeks’ time.

STANDARD LAWN SEED 
This is a blend that is far superior to the low priced lawn seed 
usually offered. It should be of special interest to florists and con- 
tractors for use on development projects. Although this seed is not 
recommended for a permanent lawn, like the Henderson blend, it 
does not, on the contrary, give a flash-in-the-pan, but produces a 
fine durable turf. Sow at the rate of 1 pound to 200 square feet. 
SHADY NGOK 
The Ideal Mixture for Shaded Areas 
On nearly all lawns there are unsightly bare spots under the shade of trees, which 
have baffled all efforts to get into Grass, but with this mixture there need be no fur- 
ther difficulty. It isa combination of fine, dwarf growing, evergreen varieties, which 
in their wild or natural state are to be found growing in the woods or other sheltered 
and shaded spots. Ground that has been densely shaded by trees is frequently 
“‘sour,”’ and if the drainage is defective it is apt to be covered with moss and coarse 
Grasses. In such cases an application of slaked linfe, at the rate of one hundred 
pounds to each thousand square feet, or two tons to the acre, is an excellent cor- 
rective and sweetener, but the moss should be first raked off.

SPECIAL ““‘BENT FORMULA’”’ 
A combination of the finest recleaned Grasses, using as a basis 
for this mixture the imported and domestic Bent Grasses which are 
so largely used in the finer Putting Greens of today. 
A lawn seeded with this mixture and properly cared for will in 
truth make every lawn a Putting Green. On a lawn of this type, 
Clock Golf and other lawn games may be enjoyably played. 
It is imperative in maintaining a lawn of this type, that the grass 
should be kept cut short and well rolled all through the season. 
Starvation of the grass plants is the most frequent cause of unsatis- 
factory lawns, and grass needs constant small applications of fer-

TOUGH TURF TERRACE SOD SEASIDE 
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 this mixture, which is composed of fibrous, 
deep-rooting Grasses that spread and intermingle. 
The seeds are blended in the proper proportions to 
form and maintam a tough matted sward, comstantly 
green, even in dry weather.

This is a special mixture of Grasses best suited for 
sowing on terraces, embankments and hillsides; 
Grasses that produce long, strong, spreading roots, 
thus preventing heavy rains from washing them out; 
that will withstand drought, thrive on shallow soils, 
and at the same time produce a rich, velvety-green 
turf throughout the season.

Our ‘Seaside’ mixture will make a good turf of 
green on sand where the finer Grasses will not thrive, 
of course, the sand must be top-dressed with not less 
than 2 inches of soil before even our ‘‘Seaside’’ Grass 
Seed is sown, to enable the young Grass to get a start, 
after which the lerg roots—peculiar to the varieties 
we used in this mixture—drive down deeply in the 
sand and remain permanently self-sustaining, if atten- 
tion is given to sprinkling during dry weather.
