HENDERSON'S
Golf Course Grass Seed
For Fair Greens and Putting Greens. Laying Down New Courses
and Renovating Old Ones. It is Used on the
Championship Courses
We have had great experience with, and have given much
attention and close study to Grasses suitable for Golf Links.
When Golf first became a popular game in this country
and courses were laid out, it was soon found that many
Grasses used with good results on European courses would
not thrive in the climate of the United States.
We then made exhaustive experiments with every
known variety of Grass in our trial grounds at Jersey
City, N. J., and we also sent samples to various sections
of the country for trial and report. As a result of these
experiences we made up our now well-known mixtures
—HENDERSON'S GOLF COURSE GRASS SEED
MIXTURES both for Putting Greens and Fair Greens.
They are undoubtedly the best for the AMERICAN
CLIMATE and AMERICAN CONDITIONS, being com-
posed principally of native Grasses, mingled with a few
imported varieties. Many of the finest courses in
America today were laid down with these mixtures, and
with proper care the finest Putting Greens and Fair
Greens in the world can be successfully rivaled. Hender-
son's Golf Course mixtures are made up to suit the
grounds and soil to be seeded, low and wet, high and dry,
sandy or clayey, as the case may be, and a description of
the soil and notes on climate and the lay of the land should
be sent when ordering. (See cut.)

I have used your Putting Green Seed for the past three years, and it has given the best
results of any seed I ever used. I laid down two new Greens last year about the 15th of May,
and July 1st they were playing on it." S. M. CARPENTER, Ml. Vernon, N. H.
Henderson's Tough Turf Grass Seed Mixture
For Tennis Courts, Croquet Grounds, Bowling Greens, Etc. It Quickly Forms an Indestructible Turf
Smooth, Firm, Elastic, Standing Wear and Tear of Outdoor Games
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 inter-
woven, firm, elastic, smooth, and durable to stand
the wear and tear. These requirements are met in
Henderson's "Tough Turf" Mixture, which is composed
of fibrous, deep-rooting Grasses that spread and inter-
mingle. The seeds are blended in the proper proportions
to form and maintain a tough, matted sward, constantly
green, even in dry weather. These varieties 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, although fifty per cent, more may
be used with advantage; half that quantity will do for
renovating. (.See cut.)
Price, delivered free in the U. S., 30c. qt., $1.00 for
4 qts., $1.75 pk., $6.00 bu. of 20 lbs.
"1 purchased some 'Tough Turf Grass Seed Mixture
from you last year. It succeeded admirably, and is very
beautiful, keeping green all the year round."
HART. F. SMITH, Isleton, Cal.
"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 it in 6 weeks' lime
without any apparent injury, as the Grass kept thickening
up all the time, and it is a beautiful bit of turf. We are
delighted."
Miss LOUISE MACDOWELL, Lenox, Mass.
