ffFwnFD SQN' f s » eclal fixtures of j anm GRrfSS SEED
These mixtures are composed principally of native Grasses, mingled with a few
varieties of foreign origin. They are undoubtedly the best for the
AMERICAN CLIMATE and AMERICAN CONDITIONS.
Hendersons Shady Nook
LAWN GRASS SEED
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 further difficulty. It is a combination of
fine, dwarf growing, evergreen varieties, which in their wild or
natural state are to be found growing in the woods or other shel-
tered 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 lime, at the rate of one bushel to
each thousand square feet, or forty bushels to the acre, is an ex-
cellent corrective and sweetener, but the moss should be first
removed by the use of a sharp rake.
Price, delivered free in the U. S., 35 cts. qt., $1.25 for 4 qts.,
$2.00 pk., $7.00 bu. of 20 lbs.
IT QUICKLY COVERS BARE SPOTS UNDER TREES
"/ have used your Shady Nook Lawn Grass Seed for bare spots
under the trees, and I cannot recommend it too highly."
Mrs. G. H. CHATILLON, Sea Bright, N. J.
FLOURISHES UNDER GREAT ELMS
"The Vestry has authorized me to order as enclosed, finding nothing
but your 'Shady Nook' grass grows under our great elms."
Rev, C. B. PERRY, D.D., Cambridge, N. Y.
Hendersons Seaside
LAWN GRASS SEED
Along our seacoast there are many beautiful summer homes and resorts with
such sandy saline surroundings that a turf of the favorite lawn Grasses cannot
be produced. We have so often made up a mixture of special Grasses to thrive
under these trying conditions that we have concluded to offer it for the benefit
of others who may be having the same "trouble in getting Grass to grow."
Our "Seaside" mixture will make a good turf of green on sand where the finer
Grasses are not so likely to thrive, though, 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 long roots —
peculiar to the varieties we use in this mixture — drive down deeply in the sand
and remain permanently self-sustaining, if attention is given to sprinkling during
dry weather. Use at the rate of one quart for 300 square feet ; 5 bushels per acre.
Price, delivered free in U. S., 25c. qt., 85c. for 4 qts., $1 .50 pk., $5.00 bu. of 20 lbs.

Henderson's Sunny South
LAWN GRASS SEED
It is especially prepared for the South, and contains all the best Grasses that
are by nature adapted for hot, dry situations. In the South, Bermuda Grass
is frequently used, but it remains green only in the summer months, turning
brown in winter; but by using this mixture, and with some care and attention
to watering, an all-the-year-round lawn can be maintained in Southern States
where Grasses do not usually thrive.

bu. of 20 lbs.
., A GREEN LAWN IN TEXAS
At my former home at El Paso I had a lawn of your Sunny South Lawn Grass
Seed which under irrigation produced the heaviest lawn I ever saw, necessitating
cutting three times weekly in order to make it look trim. I use your Ball-Bearing
Lawn Mower. L. H. VANDERWERT, Willcox, Ariz.
Henderson's Terrace Sod
LAWN GRASS SEED
A special mixture of Grasses best suited for sowing on terraces, embankments
and hillsides; Grasses that produce long, strong, spreading roots, thus prevent-
ing heavy rains from washing them out;
that will withstand drought and expos-
ure, thrive on shallow soils, and at the
same time produce a rich, velvety-green
turf throughout the season. There need
be no fear of introducing coarse Grasses
into your lawn by sowing this mixture,
for, though strong-rooted, the Grasses
are equally as fine-leaved as those used
in the "Henderson Lawn Grass" mix-
ture.
Price, delivered free in the U. S., 35c.
qt., $1.25 for 4 qts., $2.00 pk., $7.00 bu.
of 20 lbs.
IT SAVES THE TROUBLE AND
EXPENSE OF SODDING
"The Terrace Sod Lawn Grass Seed
I had from you last year does well in-
deed. It holds the soil firmly. "
I. H. STEPHENS, Riverton, Conn.

Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
