Description

the Henderson Lawn Grass Sew
THE HIGHEST AWARDS
In the Gift of the Judges Has Invariably Been Won by the Lawns Made With the
Henderson Lawn Grass Seed
Besides its country-wide use on the home grounds of the people the "Henderson"
Lawn Grass Seed has invariably been chosen to produce lawns at the International
Expositions held in the United States — notably the Centennial at Philadelphia, the
Columbian at Chicago, the Pan-American at Buffalo; the Louisiana Purchase at.St.
Louis, the Lewis & Clark at Portland, and the Jamestown at Norfolk. At all these
great industrial congresses it has been our privilege to furnish the emerald setting for
many of the beautiful edifices designed by the great architects of the world
the Henderson
law? Grass Seed
The brilliant color scheme adopted for these buildings — 'white, red and
yellow — made these spacious green lawns most acceptable and restful to the
eye, attracted the attention of every visitor and helped to make the
"Henderson'* Lawn Grass Seed famous throughout the country.
As is usual at all these great undertakings everything was delayed to the
last moment, and we were required to produce the lawns in a few weeks'
time. We successfully accomplished this in from four to six weeks and as
the superintendent of grounds at the Jamestown Exposition remarked: "It
was a miracle in lawn making."
We have been awarded numerous Gold Medals, Blue Ribbons and Diplo-
mas, butfar more than these we value the good opinions and enthusiastic
praise contained in the thousands of letters we have received from customers
in every state of the Union. A few of these we print on the opposite page.
The refreshing green and the close turf which attract the attention of the
hundreds of thousands who annually visit the baseball grounds in this coun-
try, particularly the Polo Grounds in New York and Ebbets Field in
Brooklyn, were produced with the "Henderson" Lawn Grass Seed.
PRICE OF THE "HENDERSON" LAWN GRASS SEED: 30c. per qt. ; $1.00 for 4 qts. ; $1.75 per pk. ; $6.00 per bush, of 20 lbs.

Delivered free in the U. S. by Parcel Post, Freight or Express at our option.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
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.
