That an expanse of smooth green turf,
THE VALUE OF A LAWN. surrounding a dwelling is a distinct as-
set, adding much to the appearance, and therefore the value of a house
is generally admitted; but not infrequently we see, after dwellings costing
it may be from five to thirty thousand dollars are erected, that the grounds
surrounding it are left to the tender mercy of some ignorant pretender
to grade and put in shape. The architect’s duties end Vs

with the completion of the building, and very often
the contractor’ is=commissioned without any “instructions
to make the lawn. This frequently results in the beauty
of the place being marred—for this matter requires both
intelligence and good taste, and if the lawns are of great extent
some knowledge of the principles of landscape gardening.

The character of the turf which is to form the “ green
carpet’ is the first and most important consideration, for
unless this be of the best, all the subsequent labor will be in
vain. The matter resolves itself into the question—what
g-asses are the most suitable for forming a perfect lawn? The
answer is “‘ turf-forming ’”’ grasses, which will form a closely
interwoven, firm, deep and elastic turf; growing so closely

in separate clumps, must be rigidly excluded from any com-

GRASS SEED MIXTURES. There are hundreds of varieties of grasses

but only about sixteen of them are suit-
able for use in making a lawn, and a perfect and enduring lawn cannot be
made by sowing any single one of these varieties. Kentucky Blue Grass for
instance which 1s sometimes recommended for lawns grows but sparsely during
midsummer, is slow to form a close sward—requiring two years to do that;
let hs and loses color in hot weather. A good lawn can only be
made by sowing a combination cf grasses so arranged that
they arrive at their best during different months of the year,
one kind constantly succeeding another so that perpetual
verdure is maintained. Another great advantage secured by
sowing mixtures, is that the plant food in the soilis made use
of to the fullest extent, because such grasses, having differ-
ent root formations—some being shallow rooted and others
deep rooted in habit—seek their food at different levels,
and treble the usual number of plants are able to grow on
every square foot of land. Thus a close turf is formed
which takes entire possession of the soil to the exclusion
of all weeds, and a perfect lawn is produced which is con-
stantly covered with a carpet of living green. The Hen-
derson Lawn Grass Seed is a combination of just such
grasses as those described. It is the fruit of years
of experience and close study of American conditions
and is undoubtedly the best for the American climate (see
pages 3, 4 and 5).

GARDEN CULTURE OF THE ROSE

In answer to thousands of inquiries, which we have each
season from our customers, we give the following plain directions
for the culture of the Rose. Our readers will of course under-
stand that the most intelligent cultivation will sometimes prove
a failure, owing to adverse seasons or unfavorable soil and
location; but under ordinary conditions, if the instructions
given below are followed out, success should follow.

LOCATION AND PREPARATION OF THE SOIL. To
obtain the best results, Roses must be planted where they will
have the full benefit of the sunlight; even in a slightly shaded
place they never do so well. The soil should be dug to the
depth of at least one foot, and thoroughly mixed with not less
than two inches of well-rotted stable manure; in the absence of
stable manure bonedust should be put on at the rate of 10 lbs.
to every 100 square feet of surface; this should be wel! incor-
porated with the soil to the depth already named.

_ THE BEST TIME TO PLANT is usually about May Ist, in
this section, the time varying, of course, according to season and
location. in the extreme Southern States they may be planted
from October to April; while in the extreme North planting may
be delayed as late as middle of June.

_ POT-GROWN PLANTS that have had a partial rest during
winter are by all odds the best to set out, as they are in condition
to take root in the soil and grow at once after being planted.
We are so firmly convinced of the superiority of this system of
culture that we grow all our Roses in this way, and ascribe the
uniform success obtained in planting our Roses (as compared
with dormant stock lifted from the open ground) to this cause
alone. In planting, it is only necessary to-make a hole a little
larger than the ball of earth on the plant, and after it is set in,
firm the soil well around the roots, otherwise the dry air will
shrivel them up and prevent their development. Never set the
plants out should the ground be wet and soggy, but wait until
it is fairly dry. After planting give the soil a thorough soaking,
and should the earth around the plant be dry it should be thor-
oughly saturated with water a day or so before planting.

DISTANCE TO PLANT. The first season of planting, the
Roses should be set about one foot apart each way; the next
season, if desired, one-half of them may be moved and planted
in another place, as the growth that they will make the second
year would be sufficient to fill up the space.

PRUNING. The Hybrid Perpetual class of Roses should
be pruned back to two or three buds or eyes each season; the
pruning may be done at any period from the time the leaves drop
in November until April. The Tea Roses, however, require
but little pruning, simply thinning out the shoots where they
have grown too thick.

TREATMENT OF ROSES WHEN RECEIVED. When
Roses are received from the florist in mid-winter, they should be
placed in boxes of any good, rich earth, or in flower pots of a
size suitable for the roots, given a good watering, and placed in a
temperature, if possible, not to exceed 50 degrees at night,
although when the sun is shining through the day 10 or 20 degrees
more will do noinjury. The amount of water necessary must be
determined by their condition—if growing vigorously, and the
weather is bright, water may need to be applied each day; if
they have not begun to grow freely, and the weather is dull and
moist, they may not require water more than once or twice a
week. If there is no glass structure such as a greenhouse or
pit to place them in, they will do very well placed in some light
window facing the east or south; in this condition they will
bloom during the winter and spring. If then wanted for out-
of-door planting, they should be planted in the open ground
after it has been prepared as directed, any time during the first
week in May in such latitudes as New York, earlier if farther
south, and later if farther north. When Roses are received
from the florist at the planting season they should be shaded from
the sun for a few days after planting, as being boxed when sent
by mail or express, they require this protection from the bright
sunlight until they get partly established in the ground. —-—-

WINTER PROTECTION. The Monthly Roses are only
half-hardy, and are therefore liable to be winter-killed where the
thermometer falls 25 degrees below the freezing point, so that
protection is necessary. The best way to do this is to bend the
branches down and fasten them securely within two or three
inches of the ground, by tying them to stakes driven in for that
purpose, or if close enough they may be tied to each other.
Then spread dry leaves or rough litter over them to a depth of
say six inches. This should not be done, however, until severe
cold weather sets in, so that nearly all the leaves are off the plants,
and they are thoroughly ripened, which is usually about Decem-
ber ist, in this latitude. This covering should not be taken off
until all danger of severe frost is over, say about April 1st, in
this section.

SUCCESS depends in a great measure on the care given to
the plants after planting. The soil should be stirred frequently
with a fork-hoe or hand-cultivator, so as to keep it mellow, as
well as to keep down weeds. This is particularly necessary
during dry weather, as ground which is frequently cultivated
will be found to retain moisture far better than if it is allowed to
become baked into a hard crust; in addition to this it induces a
development of young roots close to the surface. Care must be
taken, however,-not to hoe too deeply so as to injure the young
roots. Another important point is to cut off all the flowers
which are past their prime, as not only are they unsightly, but
they tend to weaken the plant by forming seedpods; by removing
them the strength which would otherwise be wasted goes to form
new growth thus increasing the number of blooms.

CLASSIFICATION. Roses are described in our catalogues
under the heads Hardy Hybrid Perpetuals, Hardy Climbing
Roses, Hybrid Teas and Tea or Monthly Roses, so that the buyer
will be able to distinguish to what class they belong and have
them treated accordingly, or order from such classes as are best
suited to the district in which they are to be planted. The teas
are all of the tender Monthly class and would not be hardy in
any district where the temperature falls lower than 25 degrees
below the freezing point. Such Roses. when grown in the North-
ern States, can be lifted in October or November and placed in
pots or boxes, and if given plenty of light, such as being placed
in a light sitting-room or in a greenhouse, will bloom throughout
the winter. In cases where they are not wanted for winter
blooming, we would advise their being lifted up in November,
placed in boxes and kept in a cold cellar, giving them one water-
ng when they are placed in the boxes, but no more until they
are taken from the cellar and planted in the open ground the
next season in May, as already directed.

THE INSECTS AND DISEASES which attack theRose (and
other plants as well) are usually the effect of a condition and
not the cause—troubles of this kind rarely attack healthy and
vigorous plants. It is the weakened, sickly plants which are
the victims. The best remedy, then, is prevention. Keep
your plants in good health by a little care and attention, and
there will be little trouble from these pests.

GREEN FLY (Aphis) is one of the most common, but for-
tunately the most easily destroyed of any insect that attacks the
Rose, as it succumbs to tobacco in any form; the most conven-
ient being tobacco dust, which should be liberally scattered over
the plants, first wetting the foliage so that the dust will adhere
to it. This should be done as soon as the pbants start to grow
so as to prevent the insects from gaining a foothold, in which case
it is very difficult to get rid of them.

THE ROSE SLUG is a light green, soft, worm-like insect,
varying in length from one-sixteenth of an inch to nearly one inch
in length. There are apparently two species or varieties of this,
one of which eats only the cuticle of the lower side of the leaf,

POT-GROWN ROSES

“<The Rose is fair, but fairer we it deem, for that sweet odor
that doth in it live.’’

the other eats it entirely. The first is the most destructive as
in a few days after they make their appearance the leaves appear
as if they had been burned. The remedies for this insect are
given in the following paragraph.

THE ROSE CHAFFER usually attacks the buds and blossoms
of the Rose. An excellent preventive remedy for this and the
Rose Slug is whale-oil soap dissolved in water in the proportion
of one pound to eight gallons. This, if steadily applied twice a
week with a syringe on Roses before the leaves have formed in
the spring will entirely prevent the ravages of these troublesome
pests. Another remedy is Paris Green mixed with water in the
proportion of one ounce to 100 gallons, and used with a syringe
as recommended for the whale-oil soap. These remedies are
only preventive, however, as if the insects get a good hold it is
almost impossible to eradicate them, unless by hand picking.

THE ROSE BUG (Aramigus Fullerii) usually confines its
tavages to Roses in-doors, and is rarely destructive in the open
ground. The perfect insect is somewhat like a small cockroach
having a hard shell of a brownish color. Its presence is detected
by the ragged semi-circular pieces which it eats out at the edge
of the leaves; butit does little harm at this stage. The mature
insect deposits its egg close to the stem of the Rose; these soon
hatch, and the larve (or grub) at once begin to feed on the roots.
The only remedy is to pick off the perfect insect, which will
usually be found on the stems and the under side of the leaves.
Care must be taken in picking them, as they drop to the ground
on the slightest alarm, where they lay perfectly quiet, their
color harmonizing with the soil, makes it no easy matter to find
them. If the larve attacks the plants in large quantities it is
impossible to successfully combat them; the plants and soil also
should be thrown out, as nothing has been found to kill the insect
in the larve stage, and the Roses will do no good while the grub
is at the roots.

THE RED SPIDER is a minute insect, almost invisible to the
naked eye, and only makes its appearance in a hot and dry
atmosphere. Their presence is shown by a hard and brown
appearance of the foliage. If the under side of the leaves is then
examined great numbers of these little pests may be seen. Fre-
quent syringing of the foliage will keep the plants clear of them,
but if they are allowed to gain a foothold, the leaves which are
badly affected had better be picked off and thrown away.

MILDEW is a species of fungus generated by exposure to
chilling winds, and is apparent by the presence of a grayish white
film on the affected parts; it is very hard to effect a cure in the
open air, where the conditions that produce it are beyond control;
butit can be held in check by dusting the plants with Flowers of
Sulphur, or syringing with a preparation made for the purpose,
known as ‘‘Bordeaux Mixture,’’ which can be procured in our
seed stores.

BLACK SPOT is a parasitic fungus which manifests itself in
the form of round or irregularly shaped black spots upon the
upper surface of theleaves. Generally only the full grown leaves
are attacked, and it gradually spreads through them, destroying
the circulation of the sap and causing a premature fall of the
foliage. The Moss Roses and Hardy Hybrid Perpetuals are
more subject than the Tea or Monthly class to this disease.
There is no known certain remedy forit, up to the present time.
The only thing to be done is to pick off and burn all affected
leaves so as to prevent its spread, as it is quickly contagious.
It is usually a consequence of aninjury to the roots either by an
excess of moisture or an excess of drought. When grown out
of doors the danger from drought may be remedied by watering
but nothing can guard against injury from dull, wet weather.

When Roses are wanted to be grown on a larger scale for
winter blooming, we refer to Peter Henderson’s books, if for
private use, to ‘‘Gardening for Pleasure,’ or if for commercial
purposes, to “Practical Floriculture,’’ in which very full and
concise directions are given, the last editions of which were fully
revised and enlarged by the author.

PACKING AND SHIPPING ROSES

FROM OUR GREENHOUSES, JERSEY CITY, N. J.

PACKING PLANTS. Next in importance to growing good
plants is proper packing of them, so that they may reach the
purchaser without injury. The system of packing plants that
obtains today was evolved by the founder of our house and
perfected by him. Our plants almost invariably reach the
purchaser as fresh as when they left our greenhouses.

OUR GUARANTEE. We guarantee safe arrival of all plants
sent by express in the United States. Should anything be in-
jured in transit we urge our customers to notify us at once on
receipt of the goods, and in every case send us a list of what
has been damaged, so that we can replace them without delay.
But when they arrive in good condition our responsibility ceases.

color, and freedom of bloom, which it is possible to get in that
number. The first and second sizes should bloom this year, and
the third next year.

Anna de Diesbach. Rich carmine. A grand Rose. This fine
variety is most useful either for garden purposes or for grow-
ing in pots in greenhouses. Very free-blooming; fine long
stems, so that it is very well adapted for cutting in summer.

Clio. A very vigorous grower; has large, handsome foliage. The
color is delicate satin-blush, with a light shading of rosy-pink
at the center.

white Rose now before the public. The flowers are 4 to 5
inches across; perfectly double and delightfully fragrant with
large thick petals; a healthy, vigorous grower, entirely
hardy, and a constant and abundant bloomer.

Gen. Jacqueminot. The most popular hardy crimson Rose ever
introduced. It is a strong, vigorous grower, entirely hardy;
an early and abundant bloomer. Its brilliant crimson is
the standard of color by which other Roses are judged;
flowers full and fragrant, popularly called the ‘‘Jack’”’ Rose.

Hugh Dickson. A rich, deep crimson, shaded scarlet; interme-
diate tones added give a brilliant effect. An exceptionally
fine red Rose. Rich and spicy fragrance; a vigorous grower
and free bloomer.

color is pure red in its deepest tone, shading to deep crimson-
Sc with the darkest velvety-maroon in the depths of the

owers.

La France. Peach-blossom color, shaded pink and silver-rose.
The flowers are large and beautiful either in the bud form or
when fully expanded. It is very free-blooming, every shoot
forming a beautiful flower and most deliciously fragrant.

Magna Charta. This fine hardy Rose is distinguished alike for
its vigorous, healthy constitution, freedom of bloom and
handsome foliage. Flowers bright, deep pink; very large
and fragrant. A popular Rose.

Mrs. John Laing. Rich satiny-pink, large and full; delicious
fragrance. This fine variety cannot be too highly praised.
For freedom of bloom it is unsurpassed in its class.

Paul Neyron. Probably the largest of all Roses. Color, clear,
dark pink shaded carmine. Form of flowers, bold and hand-
some; very fragrant.

A SELECTED LIST OF

Hybrid Perpetual Roses

The Hybrid Perpetual Roses are commonly known as ‘‘June

”

Roses.””. They are distinguished for their large flowers, richness
of coloring, delightful, spicy fragrance and above all for their
hardiness, being capable of resisting frost which would destroy
most of the ever-blooming Roses. For this reason they are
largely planted in the North. While the main crop of flowers
is borne in early summer, blooms also are produced late in the
season. See also Imperishable Collection on this page.

Alfred Coiomb. Carmine-crimson. A grand Rosein every way.
Unexcelled in habit and profusion of bloom.

Baron de Bonstetten. Blackish crimson, vivid red shadings.
Considered by many to be the finest dark crimson Rose.
Baroness Rothschild. Exquisite shade of satiny-pink. A

beautiful variety.

*Black Prince. One of the finest Roses of its class. The color
is dark velvety crimson passing to intense maroon and
shaded black.

*Caprice. Soft satiny-pink, distinctly striped and dashed with
white and carmine. A pretty and novel variety.

*Captain Hayward. Bright scarlet. Outer petals finely reflexed,
while the center petals stand up well.

*Conrad F. Meyer. The color is a pure silvery-pink. Its
beautiful foliage alone would recommend it as an ornamental
shrub for the garden. For a flowering hedge it should take
first rank.

*Coquette des Alps. One of the best and freest-blooming of the
hardy white Roses, occasionally shows blush when opening.

Eugene Furst. A grand Rose, fiery-red; flowers large and double.

*Francois Levet. A profuse bloomer. The flowers are large,
double and deep rosy-red, the shade known as “‘cherry-rose.””

*J. B. Clark. Brilliant crimson with intense scarlet lights on the
upper surfaces. It is very fragrant, fine foliage.

John Hopper. Bright rose with carmine center, large and full,
esteemed by all who grow it.

Marshall P. Wilder. Cherry-rose, mingled with carmine.
Margaret Dickson. White with pale flesh center; extra large
flower of fine form and substance. A beautiful variety.
Mme. Gabriel Luizet. Light satiny-pink. One of the best

garden Roses.

Mme. G. Bruant. Pure white. Rugosa foliage. Valuable for
hedges, hardy and ever-blooming.

*Mme. Masson. Rich carmine-crimson; very large and full.
A very striking and attractive variety, highly perfumed.
*Mme. Plantier. Pure white, blooms in clusters fairly covering

the plant. A fine cemetery Rose. ‘

OF 12 EVER-BLOOMING ROSES

This is a grand collection of ever-blooming roses, and they are
perfectly hardy in this latitude if protected in winter.

Col. R. S. Williamson. Habit splendid, long stems, erect
flowers, luxuriant dark green foliage. Flowers are satin-
white, blush center, very large and of perfect form.

Florence Pemberton. Creamy-white suffused pink, with edges
of petals occasionally flushed peach; flowers large, full, perfect
in form, with very high, pointed center. A fine summer
blooming rose.

Gruss an Teplitz. The color when first opening is a dark, rich
crimson; as the flower opens it discloses bright scarlet, shad-
ing to fiery-red. The flowers on well-grown plants are large
and full, very showy and handsome. It is a prodigious
bloomer, and remarkably vigorous.

Laurent Carle. A fine Hybrid Tea Rose. It is a vigorous
grower of erect, branching habit and splendid, dark green
foliage. The buds are beautiful and they expand into large
flowers of perfect form. The color is a brilliant reddish-car-
mine. It has a delightful fragrance. ;

Mrs. David Jardine. A charming variety which won a reputa-
tion as a winter-forcing Rose. In the garden it stands out
amongst pink Roses by reason of its fine habit. The color
is bright rosy-pink shading to rich salmon-pink on the outer
petals. A strong grower, free-flowering; richly fragrant.

Mile. Franciska Kruger. <A favorite Rose for the garden. The
coloring is strikingly handsome, a blending of deep yellow
with copper-yellow, pink and buff shadings. Fine buds and
splendid flowers which remain in condition a long time.

HOW TO MAKE A LAWN Continued

One of the first conditions fer a perfect lawn is, that the land
GRADING. be perfectly drained either naturally or artif.cially. Ifthesub-
soil is sand or gravel, so the water can quickly pass through it, then there will
be no need for artificial drains, but if there is a stratum of adhesive clay for a
subsoil then drains are indispensable every fifteen or twenty feet. As the
formation of the lawn is the foundation of all subsequent operations, it is im-
perative that it be carefully done; for if badly done at first it cannot be
changed or altered, unless to the great detriment of trees or shrubs that have
been planted or flower beds or walks that have been laid out.

The first thing to be done is to get the ground shaped to the desired grade,
taking care in grading that when hills or rocks are removed, sufficient subsoil
is also removed to be replaced with top soil, so that at least five inches of good
soil will overlay the whole in all places; and where trees are to be planted there
should be twice that depth of good soil. When the grading is finished, if the
nature of the ground requires it, drains should be laid where necessary; then the
whole should be thoroughly plowed, a subsoil following in the wake of the
common plow, until it is completely pulverized. A heavy harrow should then
be applied until the surface is thoroughly fined down; all stones, roots, etc.,
should be removed, so that a smooth surface may be obtained. We have used,
with great effect and saving of labor the ‘‘ Imported Scotch Chain Harrow,”
which fines and levels the land equal to a steel rake; and wherever large areas
are in preparation for lawns, or in fact for any field culture, requiring a fine
smooth surface, this implement will be found to be of great value.

For small plots, of course, digging, trenching and raking must be done
instead of plowing. subsoiling and harrowing, and the surface after sowing should
be patted down with the back of a spade or Tolled with a roller.

5 The question of fertilizers for the lawn is an important
FERTILIZING. one. Perhaps the best way to apply well-rotted stable
manure is to spread it thick enough to cover the ground after plowing or
digging, and then harrow or rake it in. Though a little more costly, the
best plan to insure permanency for the lawn is to use from 1,500 to 2,000
Ibs. per acre of coarse Ground Bone (see page 14) or better still, about the
half the above quantity of bone and the other half of the Henderson Lawn
Enricher, or in that proportion over lesser areas. The bone decomposes
slowly, giving lasting enrichment; while the Lawn Enricher gives immediate
results, the combination of these two fertilizers is perfect in effect, insuring a
“velvet lawn,’’ under ordinary circumstances, for several years
-without further application of manure. To insure even distri-
bution, the fertilizers could be applied in the manner recom-
mended for sowing lawn seed on this page. The quantity of ferti-
lizer required for each 8 ft. x 8 ft. square is 2} lbs., or 25 lbs. for
10 squares.

_ When the land has not been fertilized before sowing,
it is necessary to use top-dressing of manure each
season to keep up the fertility of the lawn, and
nothing is better for this purpose than
well-rotted short stable manure to spread
over it latein the fall (November or Decem-
ber) enough to partially cover the surface.
On no account should fresh stable manure
be used, or the lawn will be very apt to be
ruined by the introduction of weed seeds.
This should be allowed to remain on until
such time as the grass shows signs of starting @ Ly
in the Spring, when the rough portionshould ~
be raked off and a heavy roller applied, so
that the surface of the lawn be rendered

LIBRE

smooth and firm for the mower. If the top-dressing of well-rotted stable ma
nure has been omitted in the Fall, fine bone dust mixed with finely sifted
wood ashes, in equal parts, may be sown on the lawn about as thick as sand
is usually strewn on the floor, and rolled down, and we advise that the lawn
be rolled several times during the Spring.

In the latitude of New York the seed may be sown any time
SEEDING. from March 20th to June 20th. If the ground has ee well
prepared, and the weather is not too dry, a good lawn will be in evidence in 6 to
10 weeks time. Under very congenial conditions, new lawns are often ready for
mowing in 6 weeks from sowing, and we have received hundreds of letters from
customers announcing that 4 weeks from sowing their lawn was ready for mow-
ing. When seed is sown during the hot months of June and July a sprinkling of
oats may be sown at the same time to protect the young grass from the sun, but
water must be used copiously or failure is likely to result. Lawns are also sown
during the fall months from August 20th to October 15th with excellent results.
Sow the seed on the newly raked or harrowed surface, but do not sow on a
windy day or much of the seed will be lost. Also do not sow seed when the
soil is wet, or much is lost during the necessary rolling, and besides the perfect
level desirable will be destroyed.
We illustrate on this page a

THE BEST METHOD OF SOWING. method of sowing which will

enable the operator to avoid sowing the same place twice and also prevent
him missing any part of the ground.

The two garden lines A and B are stretched across the plot—the ends being
attached to stakes. The lines are placed 8 feet apart. Then the rods C and
D are laid across, these also being 8 feet apart. The space thus enclosed
8 x 8 feet is then sown with seed, and the rod D is lifted and placed 8
feet in advance of C, and that space is also sown. The rod C is lifted and
placed 8 feet in advance of D and so on until the entire width has been sown.
Then line A is lifted and placed 8 feet the other side of line B, the rods are again
placed in position another strip is sown, and so on until the lawn is completed.
For each square about a pint of seed should be used, if quick results are desired.
Less than this is usually allowed viz. 1 quart to 300 square feet, or 5 bushels
to the acre, but there is no arbitrary rule. Afterall the seed is sown cover with
soil about 4 in. deep. This may be accomplished by raking the surface first in
one direction and then in an opposite one. Do not bury the teeth of the rake
too deeply. When the raking is finished roll the grovnd thoroughly
with 2 heavy iron roller, also in twoopposite directions.

For seeding lawns of large area we advise the use of the ‘‘ Velvet-
Lawn’’ Seeders. (See pagel5). These valuable machines, of recent
invention, greatly facilitate the seeding of extensive grounds, such
as Golf Courses, Tennis Courts, Putting Greens, etc. There isalso
the ‘‘ Velvet-Lawn”’ hand-power for use on smaller
places, which is wonderfully efficient, putting the
seeds into old sod or newly prepared ground with
great eveness whether the day be windy or
not. ;

be sown thickly. In a lawn of about !an acre in extent, which we made,
six bushels of the ‘‘ Henderson’’ mixture were sown on the 25th of April
harrowed well in, then rolled firmly with a heavy iron roller—the result
was that by July Ist, or about sixty days from the date of sowing—a
perfect lawn was obtained, having had to be twice mowed previous to that

date.

MOWING. The young grass will be up in about a week if sown in the
* fall, and in about two weeks if sown in the spring, depending

of course upon the prevailing weather. When the grass is nearly two inches

high, it should be rolled with a light weight roller, to firm the soil, and

when over 2 inches in height it is ready for the lawn

mower.

The knives should be set high for this first cutting,
so as not to cut it off too close to the ground. The
best machine on the market is the ‘‘ Henderson Ball-
Bearing Lawn Mower”’ (see page 16). From this
time on until growth is retarded in the fall, the lawn
should be regularly mown every week, so as to induce
the grass to spread out over the surface, instead of
growing up tall and leaving bare spots. Any bare /:
spots should be repaired as soon as observed, by // |
scratching the ground, putting in a handful of seed and, ©
covering in theusualway. When a lawnis mownregu-
larly the clippings may be left on, and as the sun soon
shrivels them up they never appear unsightly, also
they protect the roots of the young grass from the
hot sun.

If the grass is allowed to get long then the clippings should be raked off or
caught in a grass-catcher which may be attached to the mower. In the early
stages of the growth of a lawn, it will be found very beneficial to top-dress it,
by scattering broadcast a compost of sifted soil and sand and the ‘‘ Henderson
Lawn Enricher”’ using 25 lbs of thelatter toa cartload of theformer. It often hap-
pens that the soil contains weed seeds of various species
and among them crab-grass, known also as five-fingered
grass. Like many of the others this is annual, and if
not allowed to seed, may ultimately be eradicated.
But asitis prostrate in growth it should be loosened up
with a rake and the scythe used two or three times
during the season. Whatever means are employed
it must be cut out, and lawn grass seed thickly sown
in its place, so that it will not be able to obtain a foot-
ing the following year.

The benefit derived from using a roller
ROLLING. on the lawn, especially in the Sorin is
not fully understood. The action of freezing and
thawing causes the ground to heave, and we may
sometimes see hardy plants so forced
up that their roots aredestroyed. A
lawn is just a collection of millions
of ttle plants and they suffer in the
same way unless the ground is firmly
pressed back with a roller before hot
/ weather comes. For use on the
/ lawn always take a ‘‘ two or three sec-
tion’’ roller, as they can be turned
without injuring the grass. A 300
Ib. roller is about as heavy as one

man can pull, though a 400 lb. will be better if you have two per-
sons to operate it.

(For Rollers of various kinds see pages 21, 22 and 23).

RENOVATING. T° renovate lawns that have become worn

out by neglect or other causes, and where it
is not convenient or desirable to renew by plowing up, they may be
greatly benefited by first mowing the grass as closely as possible.
Then top dress with the ‘‘ Henderson Lawn Enricher’’ using 1+ pounds
to every square of 9ft. x 8ft. or a 5lb. package for4spaces. This
must be wellraked in, or if the lawn is large, harrowed in, with a light
steelharrow, so as openupthesoil. Unless thisis done the roots of
young grass cannot penetrate the oldsoil. Sowoverthe raked surface
about half the quantity of Lawn seed usedin sowing a newlawn. After
sowing the surface should be harrowed or raked over, and firmly
rolled or beaten down, but if spurious grass or other weeds have
got possession of lawn, then this way of renovation would not be
satisfactory, and it had better be plowed under and sown afresh,
in the manner already given for the formation of the lawn.

STIMULATING Where very quick results are required, or in
* case a lawn is becoming bare or patchy inspots,

caused by wear and tear or otherwise, the grasses may be forced
- into a quick growth by applying Nitrate of Soda at the rate of
100 lbs. per acre. If put on in the dry state it should be applied
just before a shower, otherwise it is apt toburn
the grasses; but the safer plan is to dissolve
one pound of the nitrate in thirty to forty gal-
lons of water and sprinkle with the solution.

The ‘‘ Henderson Lawn Enricher”’ see page 13, is always suc-
cessful in inducing a new growth on worn-out lawns, and is
much safer to use, there being no danger of burning the grass,
whether used in spring or autumn. Apply as recommended
in ‘‘ Renovating ”’ above.

SHADY LAWNS. When a lawn is much shaded either in

AND TERRACES. whole or in part, the shaded portions
should be sown with the ‘‘ Shady Nook’’ Lawn Grass Mix-
ture, (see page 7) which is a combination of fine dwarf
growing evergreen varieties, which in their wild or natural
state are to befound growing in the woods or other shel-
tered or shaded spots. Intheimmediate neighborhood of
large trees, fertilizers should be applied frequently, for
the trees absorb the fertilizer and impoverish the ground.
Ground much shaded is frequently sour, and is apt to be
covered with moss. An application of lime raked into the
soil is an excellent corrector and
sweetener, but the moss should be
first cut off with a scuffle hoe and
then thrown away.

On terraces it is often necessary to
use sod, as the rains wash the soil off
before the grass seed has time to ger-
minate. The ‘‘ Terrace Sod”’ mix-
ture which we offer 1s composed of
deep-rooting grasses, which, if once
established, will hold the soil and pre-
vent washing, and we advise lberal
fertilizing and seeding so that the
grasses may be quickly established.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LAWNS IN AMERICA ARE MADE WITH

The “Henderson”

The ** Henderson ’’? Lawn Grass Seed has been the means of
adorning innumerable American homes with what has been aptly
described as the ‘‘ GAIETY OF GRASS,” that finishing touch
to the home beautiful which is so essential and necessary—a
perfect and enduring lawn. That home-owners in all parts of
the United States appreciate and value at its true worth this
celebrated mixture is evidenced by the large number of letters
of recommendation annually received by us. A few of those
sent to us during the year 1915 we print in our catalogue and
as will be seen, they not only confirm our somewhat conserva:
tive claims as to the value of this far-famed lawn mixture, but
go further than we have hitherto done in praise and commenda-
tion. The ‘‘ Henderson ’’? Lawn Grass Seed has been thoroughly
tested by country-wide use, for more than half a century. It is
the fruit of years of experience and close study of American con-

Lawn Grass Seed.

ditions, and is undoubtedly the best for the American climate.

The ‘‘ Henderson ’’ Lawn Grass Seed is composed of fine-
leaved dwarf Grasses, which produce closely interwoven, deep
and elastic turf that maintains from year to year lawns of endur-
ing green, dark, rich and luxuriant. This continuous covering
of verdue is obtained by including in the mixture Grasses which
arrive at their best during different months of the year, one
variety constantly succeeding another. It is impossible to make
an enduring lawn by sowing seeds of a single variety which will
only grow vigorously during a portion of the year.

The “ Henderson ” Lawn Grass Seed is in reality as cheap as any other, not-
withstanding its superior quality. For while many mixtures on the market
weight only 14 lbs. to the bushel. The ‘‘ Henderson ’’ Lawn Grass Seed weighs
20 lbs. per bushel, being entirely free from chaff and other foreign matter.
The quantity required for new lawns is 5 bushels per acre. For a plot 15x20.

or 300 square feet, use 1 quart. For renovating old lawns, use one-half of
above quantities. Full instructions in every bag and package.

“In your catalogue you say ‘‘ Four weeks from sowing, ready for mow-

for some of the Henderson Lawn Grass Seed. Then I had the grading done
with ordinary sandy loam and sowed the seed abut the middle of August.
In 21 days from the time of sowing I had to-mow it. .No one around
have ever saw the like before.” CHESTER PLEIVES,

“ Last Spring-I bought the ‘‘ Henderson’ Lawn Grass Seed. I had
to wait sowing it until late in the Spring on account of waiting for the
cement sidewalk. Two days after it was in we had a fine shower, and
within five weeks I went over it with the lawn mower. During the summer
which was very dry I thought it would surely be killed, as I was away for
five weeks and no one looked after it. When I came back there were several
places that looked dead, but they revived after a shower, and the lawn has
grown luxuriant ever since. Many in town admire the lawn very much,
and I suppose that you have their orders by this time.

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 interwoven, 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 intermingle. 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 engraving.)

“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 sheltered and shaded spots. Ground that has:
been densely shaded by trees is frequently ‘‘ sour,’ and if the the drainage is defective it is
apt to be covered with moss and coarse bog 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
excellent 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.

** The popular opinion of many is that grass will not grow under the dense shade of the Magnolia tree and I was always
of that opinion until I tried your Shady Nook seed. I now have a fine green grass plot and I need not tell you how much it
adds to the appearance of the front of my residence.” Dr. EDWIN BENTLEY, 113 East Capitol Ave., Little Rock, Ark.

“Terrace Sod” Lawn Grass Seed.

This is a special mixture of grasses best suited for sowing on terraces, embankments and hill-
sides. These varieties push forth deep, strong, spreading roots; that bind the soil firmly into
a compact turf, which will withstand the heaviest rains. They are all hardy grasses, en-
during long periods of drought, they thrive on shallow soils, and can be relied upon to pro-
duce a rich velvety-green turf of fine leaved grasses throughout the season. The great diffi-
culty to be overcome in getting grass established on slopes is to prevent rains washing out the
young grass before it is thoroughly rooted. To prevent this, place a continuous run of ten
inch boards, set on edge and held in position by stakes, along the crest of the hill. This will
check and turn the water to a great extent.

The International
Polo Games

At Meadowbrook, L.I., June 13th and
17th, 1914, were played upon turf
produced with the

Henderson “Athletic Field”
Grass Seed Mixture.

Its rich dark velvety-green was
the subject of admiring comment
of thousands. The illustration is
from photos taken at Meadow-
brook on the occasion of the
famous international match be-
tween picked teams representing
America and England. The Polo
Field and the various lawns at
Meadowbrook were originally
laid down with the Henderson
“Athletic Field’? Grass Seed Mix-
ture and have been renovated
from time to time with the same
mixture. The superintendent has
thus been able to maintain at all
times aclose, compact turf of dark
emerald-green (see his testimonial
printed below) which has aroused
the admiration of thousands. The
oblong picture is a view of the
grounds being prepared for the
game by mowing the Grass with a
power mower, which at the same
time rolls and smooths the surface.
The Grass. cuttings were removed
later by a small army of men with
rakes, leaving a perfectly clean turf. In the circle is a photo of an incident at the opening of
the second game, showing a group of the principal players in action.

THE NEW YORK TIMES of June 17th, 1914, describing the contest and the sur-

roundings, says in part, ‘‘The crowd was larger than on the first day, and sat tier upon tier
around the rolled field which looked for all the world like a great strip of green velvet.”’

HENDERSON’S

“Athletic Field” Grass Seed Mixture

FOR BASEBALL, POLO AND CRICKET GROUNDS, ETC., ETC.

is a special blend of deep-rooting, fine-leaved, turf-forming Grasses, especially suited for Baseball

turf that will stand any amount of hard usage without showing wear and tear. It grows quickly,
and if soil and conditions are at all favorable with attention to rolling and mowing, should be
ready for hard use in eight weeks from sowing. The refreshing green and the close turf—which
have attracted the attention of hundreds of thousands of patrons of the principal Baseball Parks
and Polo Grounds of the country—were produced by this special mixture of The Henderson Grass
Seed. Among others we may mention the Polo Grounds at Meadowbrook, where the famous
international match was played last June, Newport, Lakewood, Rockaway Hunt, Saratoga, also
some of the leading Baseball Parks in the country including the Polo Grounds in New York,
Ebbets Field and Washington Park in Brooklyn. (See engraving.) Sow 100 to 150 lbs. per acre

HENDERSON’S GOLF COURSE GRASS SEED

FOR LAYING DOWN NEW COURSES AND RENOVATING OLD ONES.

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
composed of thoroughly acclimated varieties, seeds of
the highest germinating power only are used. Many
of the finest courses in America today were laid down

with these mixtures, and with proper care the finest Put-

fully rivalled. Henderson’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 descrip-
tion of the soil and notes on climate and the lay of the land
should be sent when ordering.

Warning.—The best of seed is necessary for use on Golf
Courses and all grounds devoted to sport. We deal only in
the highest grades and before offering this seed to our cus-
tomers for sale, it is thoroughly recleaned by the most modern
seed-cleaning machinery i in America. These are not ordinary
fanning mills, but machines with an even and strong air suc-
tion—equal at all points—which is quite a different thing

rubbish, and light imperfect seeds, leaving only sound Be
seeds.

MAKING AND MAINTAINING GOLF LINKS.

BY CHARLES HENDERSON.

UCH has been written and much advice given as to the
making and maintenance of golf links, particularly the
most vital adjunct, putting greens. From a practical
cultivator’s standpoint the most essential point has been
missed, which is, that the trouble with most golf links
in this country is starvation.

Most of the links experts have gained their experience in
Great Britain where climatic conditions are absolutely dif-
ferent from those that obtain here. There the cool climate
and frequent showers give an abundance of good turf al-
most without exception. In this country with its hot,
dry summers, much greater care and experience are
Sy necessary.

FIRST in the selection of a composition of grasses for
the seeding that are best fitted to withstand such onditions.

SECOND frequent fertilization and watering are neces-
sary, particularly on the putting greens, in order to
sustain the grass which is weakened by the frequent
cutting, heat and drouth.

One of the safest and best methods of feeding putting greens during the
summer months is by means of manure water. This is easily made; four pecks
of horse or cow manure with two pecks of sheep manure (or one peck of hen
manure), which will suffice to make one hundred gallons of manure water;
thoroughly mix and allow it to remain two days before applying.

The putting greens should first be sprinkled with plain water, then the manure
water should be applied liberally by means of an ordinary watering can witha
sprinkling rose on same. This operation completed, the water should again be
applied so as to wash it in thoroughly. It has been well said that water is
Nature’s common carrier. It is, or should be, a matter of common knowl-
edge that all plant food to be available to the growing plant must be in solution.
Manure water can be applied in this way to great advantage every two weeks
during the growing season. The manure in the barrel should be -renewed after
each application as its strength to a great extent is exhausted. Where it is
not convenient to make and apply manure water a good substitute is a light
dusting of The Henderson Lawn Enricher every two weeks, 14 lbs. to each
putting green, average size, 60 x 60 ft., followed immediately by a thorough
soaking with water.

MAKING A PUTTINGGREEN. A matter of primary importance in build-
ing a Putting Green, is the character of the turf which is to form its playing
surface. In the first place it is necessary that the ball run absolutely true,
and this requirement renders it impossible to sow Putting Greens with the
coarser grasses used for Fair Greens. These, because of their great extent, must
be seeded with grasses suited to the nature of the soil and the general character
of the grounds, which may be highand dry, or low and wet, or of varying forma-

-tion. On the opposite page we fully describe Henderson’s Golf Course Grass

Seed Mixtures which have been used in laying down many of the finest courses in
America. Because of the comparatively small area of Putting Greens it is quite
possible to bring the soil to suit the grassesto be grownonthem. The grasses
for Putting Greens must be a combination of fine-leaved, dwarf grasses of inter-
weaving habit which form firm and elastic turf. Such turf cannot be obtained
by sowing one or even two varieties of grasses. There must be a mixture of
six of more, with different rooting habits—some deep and others shallow root-
ing—so that full advantage is taken of the soil, if a constant covering of turf
is to be maintained. Too often the Putting Green is made in a most haphaz-
ard manner,simply digging or plowing up the soil and giving it some fertilizer and
seed on the spot desired without regard to the mechanical conditions of the soil.
To obtain the best results, excavate where the Putting Green is to be made
to a depth of twelve inches, if the ground is gravelly or sandy, and fill in with
a compost composed of good top soil from an old pasture to which add twenty
per cent in bulk of well-rotted horse or cow manure and 200 pounds of raw ground
bone, all to be thoroughly mixed before filling in. In case the soil is of a clayey
nature with no natural drainage, it would be well to excavate to a depth of 18
inches, filling in the lower 6 inches with broken stone for drainage. The
making of Putting Greens should be done at least a month or so before the seed
is to be sown so as to permit them to thoroughly settle before seeding.

REPAIRING PUTTING GREENS. The constant foot wear of greens as
well as the effects of heat and drouth will, even with the most assiduous and
intelligent care, cause bare spots to appearin the turf. The best way to repair
such damage is to have in reserve a grass plot sown with the same grass mix-
ture used in forming the greens. This should be prepared with the same care as
the greens and, of course, attended to just as regularly. Cut out the bare spots
in the greens, going to a depth of five or six inches, then fill in the excavated
space with a prepared compost composed of two parts good, fibrous sod from
an old pasture, a light soil is preferred, to one part well rotted stable manure.
Cut out a patch of sod from the reserved plot to fit the space, firm it moder-
ately after being put in place and water copiously. If this work is done carefully
and as described, the patching will be hardly noticeable and in a few days all
traces of it will disappear. The best way to prepare this compost is to put
down a layer of the sod, grass side down, then a layer of the manure and repeat,
having a layer of sod on top, always grass side down. After the pile is made
about a month it should be turned and the sod chopped up with the spade.
Two or three such turnings within a period of three months will usually be
sufficient to prepare it for use. The compost should be firmed down well after
being put into the space excavated and should be within two inches of the grass
surface after firming. A word of caution may not be out of place regarding the
position of the compost pile. It should be made on a hard bottom and where
water does not lodge. Weeds should not be allowed to grow on it, for
obvious reasons.

MAKING AND MAINTAINING GOLF LINKS—Continued.

RENOVATING FAIR GREENS

HE usual method is to give the Fair Greens a dressing of bone
meal or chemical fertilizer at the rate of 1000 pounds to the
acre; then run over it with a light cutting harrow; then sow
with a renovating grass seed mixture at the rate of 2to 4
bushels per acre, according to the condition of the course.
This is then worked in with a smoothing harrow and after-
wards the course is thoroughly rolled. This can be done
at almost any time during the Fall. Of course the disad-
vantage of this is, that it interferes with the playing, and a lot
of it is liable to be disturbed by the players.

Another method is to apply the grass seed and fertilizer
in the manner prescribed above, only defer doing it until
just before the ground freezes up, which in this latitude
is usually about the middle of December. In this way
the golfers have the benefit of the Fall season without being disturbed, and the
grass seed being put into the ground so late, it does not germinate until the fol-
lowing Spring, hence there is no danger of it being killed out during the Winter.
Grass seed until it germinates is absolutely frost proof. Being put in this way
in the late Fall it comes up with the advent of Spring. Some of the most
successful grass seeding we ever saw was done by this method.

We would again strongly urge fertilization of your golf links. It is the key
to success.

A HERESY. A widely circulated heresy regarding golf courses and
lawns in the United States is that the best results can only be
achieved by sowing ‘‘foreign’’ grass seeds. This is based very largely
on the reputation of tne links and lawns in the old country, ignoring
or forgetting the different climatic conditions prevailing there and here.
The fact that New York is in the same latitude as Madrid and Rome,
while London is as far north as the mouth of the St. Lawrence River,
and Edinburgh is about in the same latitude as the southern shore of Hudson
Bay, is too often overlooked. Then again the humidity there is much higher
than here, the annual precipitation much greater and the tempera-
tures, both of Summer and Winter, more favorable for the growth ©
of grass. The famous green of the ‘‘ Emerald Isle’ is not due to
the varieties of grasses grown there, but to the unusually favor-
able weather conditions generally prevailing.

The Summer of 1911 was the hottest and driest which England
had for a half century, approximating the average Summer here and
the lawns, links and pastures suffered accordingly—fully as much,
if not more, than under similar conditions in the United States.
The writer made a tour of the British Isles that summer and found
the burned up condition of the lawns and parks in and around
London and elsewhere, worse than he had ever seen them in the
United States.

The grasses of the known world have been tested in this country and those

‘which have been proved to be best adapted to our soil and climate are now used

here. Two of the leading grasses in the best mixtures for golf courses and
lawns are grown very largely in the United States because of their adapta-
bility to our climate, and practically the world supply of the seed is produced
here.

It cannot be urged too often that good, clean, viable seed is a prime essential
in laying down golf courses andlawns. Thecost of preparation, the disappoint-
ment and expense of failure, are potent arguments in favor of securing reliable,
tested seed and are a strong warning against cheap seeds which too often prove
to be the dearest.

Too much stress cannot be laid on the necessity for a thorough preparation of
the soil before seeding. Many who recognize the necessity of plowing, harrowing
and manuring for vegetable, flower and fruit garden are apt to minimize the i1m-
portance of these for grasses. We wish to emphasize the necessity of thorough
plowing, pulverizing and enriching with manure if good turf is to be had. If
these are properly done there is a certainty of success.

The question is often asked of us ‘‘ What grass seed will grow on sand?”
We reply there is none; that only soil will support grasses. Even if the soil
be very sandy there must be sufficient organic matter or humus added to it to
maintain grass. Another question frequently put to us is, ‘‘ What is the value
of soil analysis in determining the fitness of it for producing and maintaining
turf?”’ We cannot answer this better than by quoting Prof. G. E. Adams,
who lectured on ‘‘ Fertilizer Problems of the Orchard and Garden ”’ before the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society last Spring. In answer to a similar ques-
tion he said: ‘‘ The value of soil analysis is very slight. No method of soil
analysis would tell you to-day the amount of plant food available to crops. The
purely chemical analysis to a practical man is of very little use.”’

SEEDING. The majority of links and lawns are sown in the spring so
we would urge doing it just as soon as the ground can be cultivated, early
seeding brings the best results.

In making the new golf courses, wherever possible we would advise
9 laying them down in the Fall. The advantages of doing it then are
that it relieves the spring rush, when very often the work cannot be
done at the most propitious time. If the seed is not sown early in
Spring hot weather sets in and works injury to the young grass.
When sown in the Fall, the best time being the latter part of Aug-
ust or the early part of September, the benefits of a warm soil
copious rainfall and lessening temperature are to be had. These
conditions insure a better germination, a higher percentage of
the survival of the grasses which start into growth, a stronger
and healthier growth; because of these conditions the crop
of weeds which always appears in freshly cultivated land will be
lighter.

£ THE BERMUDA GRASS LAWN
AT PALM BEACH.

METHOD OF A GEORGIA CUSTOMER IN MAINTAINING A GREEN LAWN THE YEAR ROUND.

Genllemen: I enclose you the details of my plan in maintaining a green lawn the year round in this climate,
where ordinary grasses burn out in summer. The experiment has been a success in every way, and you may with
confidence recommend this plan to your Southern customers.

Area } acre, sowed with the Bermuda Grass Seed, Jan. 31st. Our soil is very light with clay subsoil. I put
it in good condition, plowing in 200 lbs. Cotton Seed Meal on the } acre, sowed with the Bermuda Grass Seed Jan.
31st (6 lbs. per acre). Several subsequent rollings with a light roller had a good effect. On May 4th during a
vain broadcasted 12 lbs. of Nitrate of Soda over the } acre with good results. This Bermuda Grass Seed gave us
a first-class green lawn all summer, it stands mowing hand cares for no drought; the first frost kills it to the ground.
October 2d I applied atop dressing of rich soil and cotton seed meal and raked in English Rye Grass Seed in the
proportion of 50 lbs. per acre and rolled the ground. The latter grass seed comes up in eight days, in six weeks
it is a@ mass of greenand gives a good lawn all winter: it dies out in May leaving the ground clear for the Bermuda
Grass, the roots of which survive in the ground here through the winter.

Bermuda Grass Seed.

Sow for the Summer Lawn in the Extreme South.

BERMUDA GRASS is the most important and valuable grass for
lawns in the extreme South. A well kept lawn of this grass is a refreshing
and beautiful sight. It is of low creeping habit, roots from the stem
joints and forms a dense sod. It will grow on almost any soil, thriving
best on rich land, but will also thrive on poor sandy land. In moist
climates it will growin nearly pure sand, making a good sand binder and
bank holder. It revels in the heat and direct rays of the sun, remaining
green through the long tropical and sub-tropical summers, when any
other type of grass adapted for lawns would burn out. Although Bermuda
Grass is especially adapted for lawn formation in the extreme South, and
may be grown as far north as Richmond, Va., and St. Louis, without
being winter killed, yet the further north it ‘is grown the shorter wil! be it
season of green, as the foliage turns brown after the first frost and does
not ‘‘ green’ until after frosts cease in spring. For this reason in sections
subject to frosts an associate winter grass, usually English Rye Grass.
is sown in the fall over the Bermuda Grass lawn after the surface has been
scarified. These two associate grasses thus furnish a green lawn the year
round in the Southern States. For lawn purposes sow 6 lbs. of Bermuda
Grass Seed per acre. It is best sown in the spring, as it germinates
best in warm weather. Price of Seed, 75c. per 1b., 100 lbs at 70c. per lb.

English Eye Grass Seed.

Sow for the Winter Lawn in the Extreme South.
This most valuable grass for the North is also particularly useful in
sections of the South as an associate with Bermuda Grass where the latter
turns brown in the winter. By sowing Rye Grass in the fall right over
the Bermuda Grass Sod, and raking and rolling the seed in, a green lawn
may be had throughout the winter until warm weather again starts the
Bermuda Grass into growth, when the Rye Grass will die out. The
ground must be reseeded with Rye Grass each Fall. Rye Grass is of
rapid growth coming up in 8 to 10 days time and soon covers the ground
with a dense growth of green grass which if kept mown forms a fine
sward. Sow at the rate of 50 pounds per acre.
Price, l5c. per lb.; $3.00 per bush. of 24 1lb.; $10.00 per 100 lbs.

| Henderson's Fertilizers and Manures for Lawns and Golf Courses |

The proper fertilization of Lawrs and Putting greens is as important a matter as seeding, if a good turf is to be constantly maintained. To keep such grounds—subject as they are to constant
wear—in the best condition, they must be fed at regular intervals to compensate the soil for the loss of valuable plant foods which are carted away with the grass clippings. These are, potash, nitrogen,

lime, and phosphorous.

A top-dressing of complete fertilizer is especially needed in the spring, and in applying it use the method for sowing lawn grass seeds illustrated on page 2, only make the spaces 10 ft. x 15 ft., or 150
square feet, which is a convenient space to treat at one time. Henderson’s Lawn Enricher (see below) is a complete grass fertilizer and a 5 1b. package should be used for each space of 150 square feet.
It is also good practise to mix fertilizers with two or three times their bulk of sifted soil to insure even distribution.

The “‘Henderson’’ Lawn Enricher.
ODORLESS—QUICK ACTING

For New and Old Lawns, Tennis Courts, Putting Greens, Etc. Quickly Induces

a Luxuriant Rich Green Growth.

The Henderson Lawn Enricher contains all the plant food necessary for the growth of fine
grasses. It is quick in action and never fails to induce a rapid and rich green growth. Apply
broadcast with a machine or sow it evenly by hand, on a quiet day and when rain is expected if
possible. If rain is not likely to fall water in thoroughly with a hose. If applied during the
summer use half the usual quantity and water on witha hose. The use of this fertilizer does away
with the old practise of top-dressing lawns with stable manure so objectionable on account of its
disagreeable odor and general unsightliness.

"HENDERSON'S WORM KILLING GRASS FOOD.

Feeds the Grass and Destroys the Worms. Is not Harmful to Animals.

Henderson's Worm Killing Grass Food quickly destroys the millions of worms which infest many Lawns, Croquet
Grounds and Putting Greens. - Wherever the casts voided by the worms appear a cup-shaped depressior is formed
when the green is rolled, which soon spoils that perfect level so desirable on grounds devoted to sports, where it is
absolutely necessary that the ball should run true.

The continual action of the worms in throwing up these casts loosens the soil around the roots of grasses, and the
hot sun, or dry weather, causes them to turn yellow and finally die out in spots leaving bare patches which are soon taken
possession of by weeds and crab grass. Brushing off these worm casts and rolling the ground injures the turf by bruising
the surface roots of the grasses, besides being an expensive item in the upkeep of the Greens. More lawn troubles are
caused by earthworms than people realize, and we advise a!l whose grass is not so good as it should be, to apply Hender-
son’s Worm Killing Grass Food.

It is not in the least injurious to animals, and as one of its ingredients is a rich fertilizer it stimulates the grass into
a rich, green growth. It is being used in increasing quantities by many Golf and Country Clubs all over the United
States and has given the greatest satisfaction. Apply during the growing season according to the directions below.

DIRECTIONS FOR APPLYING.

Do not apply until the frost is entirely out of the ground. Select a warm, moist day when worms are usually active.
It is best to apply a small portion to the ground first say about one pound to see if they are active before going over the
entire surface, for the mixture must come in contact with the worms in order to force them to the surface and destroy them.

The method of applying is illustrated on this page. First water the turf copiously to open up the worm burrows
and bring them nearer to the surface; then spread the powder as evenly as possible, sweeping it in with a broom
so that no portion is missed. Next ,—water copiously at once with a hose so as to saturate the ground and carry
the Worm Killing Grass Food in solution to the worms. Ina few minutes the worms big and little will rise to the sur-
face and die, when they should be shovelled up and carried away. In the illustration the garden lines or strings are
stretched across the greens 9 ft. apart, then taking one section at a time, bamboo rods or strings are laid across 10 ft.
apart making each space 9 ft. x 10 ft. For this space use a 5 lb. package. (See engraving.)

Destroys Weeds, Moss, Grass, etc.,in Garden Walks, and Carriage Drives.

It completely destroys all weeds, wherever applied, and by sterilizing the
ground prevents the growth of fresh ones for a year afterwards, thus saving an
immense amount of labor in hoeing, etc. By its use brick walks can be kept
perfectly clean. Its application is easy, as it is in liquid form and only
requires to be mixed with water and applied with a watering can or sprinkl-
ing cart. If the ground is very dry it should first be sprinkled with clear
water, so the Weed Destroyer will not soak away too quickly. Where large
weeds and docks are to be destroyed it is best to mow or chop off the tops
before applying the destroyer. Full directions for use with each package.

The “VELVET LAWN” Seeders

FOR HAND AND HORSE POWER.

This is a valuable machine for seeding new lawns and doubly valuable for renovating
worn out lawns and bad spots in Greens, Tennis Courts, etc., without redigging or
plowing, and without marring the surface. It puts the seed IN newly prepared ground

or IN old sod—the seed is distributed very evenly in any desired quantity—wind
or no wind, not too thick in some places and too thin in others. In new ground
or soft turf it is easily operated by one man but in old hard sod it may require
another person to pull. The revolving discs cut narrow trenches, the seeds
being sown init and immediately behind the discs. There are eight of these
discs with their accompanying seed spouts. These sow 2 in. apart—thus
the machine sows a strip 16 in. wide as fast asa man can walk. It will sow
and cross sow an area 50x150 ft. in 30 minutes; a little roller follows each
seed spout, thus pressing the soil back and covering the seed.
As each disc, seed spout and roller work individually, they there-
fore adapt themselves to the inequalities of the ground—insuring
a perfectly even stand of grass. (See engraving.) Price, $15.00.

The One Horse Power Fair Greens Seeder has 16 discs with
accompanying seed spouts and chains. These sow 3in. apart or
astrip 4 ft. wide. It is very light
in draft and can be operated by
any boy who can drive a horse.
It will be found invaluable for
seeding large lawns, parks and golf
courses—either new ground or
renovating old turf, ‘and is
equally valuable for sowing

clover, alfalfa, etc., reseeding
new or old meadows and pas-
tures. (See engraving.)

The revelrida ives appear to be reversed

“draw cut’’ principal far better. Read why.

“Vour ‘Henderson’ Mower proves better-than
you claim for it. It is a delight tc use it and it
ts @ great favorate with my neighbors.’

CLARENCE L. LERSCHNER,
20 Lotus Road, Ridgewood, N. J.

“*T want to tell you how much I think of my
21-inch Henderson Ball Bearing Lawn Mower.
I used it all-of last season and have commenced
using it again this spring and really think more
of it every time I use it. With all its great cutting
surface it,is remarkably easy of operation. We
have a large lawn—but I cover the ground with
st in a hurry, often mow it before break jas with

THE HENDERSON BALL-BEARING LAWN MOWER

““We have been using one of your 21-inch
Henderson Mowers for the past five years, mow-
ing about an acre of lawn at least once a week,
and it has cost us just 75c. for repairs—a record
any machine might be proud of."

ESTATE JOHN MURRIN, Carbondale, Pa.

‘“ We have several makes of mowers, but none
can cut the lawn as well as the Henderson Ball-
Bearing.”” FRANK H. VILLE, EIST Gy Go

Lg Some years ago we purchased of you a ‘‘Hen-
derson'’ Lawn Mower. We have used it constantly
on rowgh, sandy ground, and it ‘has done all its
work well. Our neighbor has. used three mowers
tn the same length of lime."’ .

R. M. MONROE, Cocoanut Grove, Fla.

SELF-ADJUSTING, BALL-BEARING

LAWN MOWER.

The King of Lawn Mowers.

LIGHT RUNNING. NOISELESS—DURABLE—SELF ADJUSTING.
DRAW CUT. ALWAYS SHARP. DOES NOT PULL THE GRASS.

Leaves the Lawn Smooth and Free from Corrugation.

THE HENDERSON BALL-BEARING LAWN MOWER is made without
regard to cost—to be the best, most durable, and the easiest-working Mower
on the market, and while the prices are necessarily a little higher than those
of Mowers simply made to sell, yet in the end our Mower will prove much cheaper
aside from-annoying delays and repairs experienced with cheap Mowers. It
is superior to all other Mowers in the following respects; the axles of the re-
volving cutter, like the axles of a bicycle, work in self-adjusting ‘‘ball-bearing”’
journal boxes or cups, which reduces the friction enormously. The Mower is
also built scientifically correct in other respects. The ‘‘ drawcut’’ principle
corrects the defect in ‘‘ push cut ’’’ Lawn Mowers, and completely reverses the
old way of cutting the grass. The grass is drawn across the sharp edge of the
Stationary Knife, which is the cutting knife, and is severed most easily. See
illustration.)

It causes the mower to operate much more easily. It prevents the mower
from “‘bobbing up’’ in the rear thus ensuring an even cut. The heavier the
grass, the closer the mower clings to the turf. It makes the mower self-sharpen-
ing; the drawing of the wiper blades across the edge of the stationary knife
keeps it always sharp and prevents gouging. Where the ‘‘push cut” style of
mower requires “‘sharpening’’ a dozen times, the Henderson Ball-Bearing
“drawcut’’ mower will not need it once. It is strictly a high class Mower,
made from the highest quality of iron and steel. The castings are lathe-
turned and bored, and the journals machine-trimmed, which insures trueness
in fitting and smoothness in working, with no irregularities to wear off and
leave rattle and play. We have so simplified the adjustments in our new Ball-
Bea ing Mower that even those ignorant of mechanics will have no trouble
in always keeping our Mower in fine cutting order for years and the lawn in
uninjured condition.

THE HENDERSON BALL-BEARING MOWER has high drive wheels,
large, open non-clogging cylinder. The spiral of the knives is correctly pro-
portioned to give a continuous cut, leaving the lawn as smooth as if shaved
entirely free from the corrugated surface left by other Mowers. The handles
are braced and reinforced to prevent twisting and breaking when one side of
the Mower is held off the ground, and besides the handle is equipped with
improved ‘“‘ grips’’ which keeps the hands in a natural position, gives more
power, and is less tiresome than a continued grasp, with wrists twisted, on a

horizontal grip.

TOWNSEND'S GOLF WONDER LAWN MOWER.

Se

THE ACKNOWLEDGED “BEST FOR PUTTING GREENS.”

The Golf Wonder LawnMower is, especially designed and manufactured for a ‘‘ Putting Green’*
Mower, and it is the acknowledged best for the purpose. It can be set to cut so close that it practically
shaves the turf or the knives may be raised to cut the grass at any desired height, leaving the surface as
smooth as a billiard table. It is used by many of the Golf and Country Clubs, and is invariably
considered a pronounced success. An iron roller (63 inches diameter) in the sear and a smal] wooden
roller in front carry the machine perfectly true and level and do not dent or mark the “‘ green,’ as
side whee] machines are apt to do when the ground is damp or soft, and besides the weight on these
rollers is usually sufficient to press flat any worm-casts. The two front wheels may be used or not as
desired. The reel is only 43 inches in diameter and has six knives, consequently their cutting edges
strike the grass in such close succession that thev leave the turf absolutely free from corrugation and
smooth for true “ putting.’ The very best material is used in the construction of the Golf-Wonder
Mowers—the best quality of new iron in the castings and the highest grade of steel in the knives. All

= 33= oa — — Wearing parts are lathe turned or machine

either with or without grass catchers.
| With the catcher is supplied a patent fan

The Wirt Golf Tee Stand is an improvement which adds consider-
ably to the convenience and therefore the enjoyment of the players,

WIRT’S GOLF TEE STAND.

while its appearance is also
very pleasing.

The upper and lower bucket
carry water and sand respec-
tively and are so arranged,
that by merely tilting the top
one forward, the water is
poured on the sand in the
lower one.

The brush fastened to the
side cf is, course, for scrubbing
the ball. The buckets are at
just the proper height for
quickly and easily washing the
ball and forming the tee.

The stand, proper, is hand-
somely painted in green, and
the club colors and hole num-
bers are usually painted on the
buckets. The construction is
most substantial, being of tub-
ular steel. The frame may
also be galvanized after as-
sembling and in that way is
practically soldered into one
piece. This also affords com-
plete protection from the
weather.

The convenience of the
Wirt Golf Tee Stand which is
very apparent to every player
together with its decorative
appearance, make it most
desirable for every up-to-date

WITH GRASS CATCHER AND DEFLECTOR.

Townsend’s “ Triplex’? Horse Lawn Mower.
CUTS A SWATH 86 INCHES WIDE AT ONE PASSAGE OF THE MACHINE.

For large lawns, parks, golf courses. etc., it isa necessity. It cutsa swath over 7 feet (86 inches) wide: and does the work of two
motor mowers at one eighth of the expense. The yoked-together mowers adapt themselves to uneven surfaces, mowing over
tidges and through hollows as well as on level ground. Simple, durable and light running. Easily drawn by one horse—all
day long—and operated by any man capable of driving.

With the Triplex Mower one man and one horse will cut more grass in a
day than three men and three horses with three ordinary lawn mowers,
and will cut as much grass as any two motor mowers, cut it better—
without crushing the life out of soft turf—and at a small fraction
of the cost.

The Triplex consists of three 1awn mowers yoked together
two abreast, and one following in the center, lapping each
front mower, thus cutting a clear swath eighty-six inches
wide. As the three mowers work independently of
each other, and are so connected from their centers to
the main frame that they can swivel, rise and fall, thev
therefore adapt themselves to the contour of the ground
—floating over ridges and down hollows—mowing the
grass as perfectly as on the level, and better than is
possible with a long straight-edged bottom knife mower
of any kind.

On rolling ground the Triplex Mower shows its quali-
ties to perfection, holding to a side hill where a motor
mower will slid2 sidewise. It is of extremely light
draught, due partly to ball bearings and partly to the
excellence of design, material and workmanship.

Three levers at the driver’s right enable him to lift
any one or all of the cutting apparatus from the ground
to avoid obstructions, or in going to and from the field.
A small knob in the center of each wheel operates the
clutch throwing the machines in and out of gear.

The mower is provided with a spring seat, ample foot
rests, shafts, iron tool box with tools and oilcan. Net
weight, 600 lbs.

The mowers are packed singly in crates, the frame
work is shipped assembled. It is only the work of ten
minutes to assemble the machines and attach the shafts

FULLY WARRANTED. THE LATEST AND BEST.

Knives can be raised or lowered instantly. Side draught (applicable to either side) keeps
horse off uncut grass.

This is the best horse-power mower manufactured, simple in construction, very durable; noth-
ing but the very best steel and iron are put init. It is quickly adjusted to cut high or low, and
the arrangement for throwing in and out of gear and for raising the knives when passing over
stones, rough places or roads is operated from the seat. The side draught (applicable to either
side) keeps the horse on the cut grass and prevents trampling down that which is to be mown.
The revolving knives are ‘“‘ high speeded,’’ making a continuous cut and leaving the surface of
the lawn as smooth as velvet. These mowers are fitted with a two-section roller and weigh,
exclusive of shafts, 30-inch cut, 445 lbs.; 35-inch cut, 490 lbs.; 40-inch cut, 540 lbs.; to this may
be added the weight of the man if he rides, thereby rolling the lawn with a very respectable weight
at the same time it is cutting; or the cutter may be thrown out of gear by the movement of a
lever ana the machine may be used for rolling alone.

HENDERSON’S “CHAMPION” SOD CUTTER.

A horse-power machine for cutting sod in long strips; an important and valuable imple- |
ment for golf grounds, parks and other places which have much sod laying or repairing to do.
It cuts the sod of uniform width and thickness, in any length, so that it is particularly adapted
to giving solidity to slopes in cuts and on embankments, working equally well on level or uneven
surface, cutting both ways with the land, and leaving no sod uncut, being light of draft, easily
managed, strong,neatand durable. Itisthe best and cleanest, sod-cutting machine in America.
Hasa Reversible Knife madeof one piece of steel. While one side dulls, the opposite edge is. getting
sharpened; cannot get choked. An adjustable Roller regulates the thickness of the sod from
one-half inch to two inches; the front roller swings back under the guide-shoe and takes the
weight when the machine is not cutting. The guide-shoe can be changed to either side in a
minute; no friction or injury to the grass. The knife can be cleaned without turning over the
machine. One machine will cut from 30,000 to 40,000 square feet per day, doing the work of
forty men; the expense saved between cutting by hand and with horse power in one day is
enough to pay the price of our machine. Instructions for operating furnished with every
machine. Price, $25.00. Extra knives, $4.50 each.

like a rammer the lower surface being provided with spikes
which puncture the sod, leaving small holes into which much

Henderson’s SUPERIOR IRON HAND ROLLERS.

These are very superior Rollers, the edges are beveled to prevent marking, the faces are ground smooth
so they will not pick up and carry lumps of earth, the axles are of steel, the sections fit closely and the handles
are of our improved design, will not break and are counterbalanced so they will always keep up from the ground,

clean and out of the way.

The benefit derived from using a roller on the lawn is inestimable—and the heavier the roller the betler. Freezing
and thawing causes the sod-ground to heave, also too liberal watering with force washes soil from the roois of the grass—
in either event, if the sod is not pressed down, the grass is apt to be burned out or injured in hot weather leaving the

lawn full of bad spots. A lawn on which a roller ts used is never troubled with moles.

The weights given are actual, which fact should be
taken into consideration in comparing prices with
rollers of manufacturers that run 15% to 25%
less than advertised weights.

From 300 to 500 lbs. is the weight chosen for
one-man power for average levellawns. Remem-
ber that the heavier the rotler used on your lawn
the finer sward you will have.

Horse-Power Attachment, can be applied to
any Hand Roller though it will only be needed
on the heavier Rollers, on which it will be found
very useful, especially for hilly lawns.

Price, (not including Roller), complete with
whiffletree, $5.50.

HENDERSON'S FOUR-ARM
LAWN SPRINKLERS

(with Ball and Basket
Attachment).

Lawn Sprinklers

Lawns need an abundance of water if a luxuriant growth is to be main-
tained during hot dry weather. If the soil was originally plowed very
deeply to induce deep root action, the necessity for artifiicial watering
is not as great, but lawns laid down in this thorough manner are not
very numerous in this country. It is therefore necessary on lawns with
the average thin turf to water or ‘‘sprinkle’’ frequently. In such cases a
good lawn sprinkler is absolutely necessary, being far superior to a hose
nozzle. The latter usually throws too
strong a stream, eventually washing the
earth from the roots of the grasses leaving
them exposed to the hot sun and causing
the grassto burnup. Witha lawn sprink-
ler the same flow of water is broken up and
uniformly distributed over a large area in
the form of fine gentle rain, thoroughly
saturating the ground covered without
any injurious washing out.

The Skinner ‘‘Lawn Mist’’ Irrigator.

This is the famous “‘ Skinner Irrigation System ’’ on wheels and therefore portable.
This sprinkler may be placed and moved anywhere on the lawn or in the garden where
it can be connected to the garden hose. Its advantages are that it waters a large area
with but little attention. The water is distributed evenly and gently in a fine spray
which does not pack or crust the ground nor wash soil from the roots of grasses or plants.
The chill is taken off the water for the drops absorb warmth from the air before descend-
ing and cool the atmosphere. The refreshing effect on a sultry night is most noticeable.
The Skinner Lawn Mist Irrigator is a length of galvanized pipe into which are fitted
about every three feet apart, clusters of small spray nozzles so arranged that the dis-
tribution of water is entirely uniform the entire length of the pipe—and over a width
of from 16 to 20 feet according to the volume of pressure of the water supply. A 12
foot section of pipe is fitted to 4 sets of nozzles, a 15 foot section to 5 sets and an 18
foot section to 6 sets of spraying nozzles. A 15 foot length operating under a 30 lb.
pressure will distribute about 5 gallons of water per minute, other lengths in proportion.
Where the water supply and pressure is sufficient two or more lengths of pipe may be
connected and operated at one time and if the extra lengths are fitted with our “* flexible
couplings ’’ the pipes may be placed at different angles as may be desirable. The Skinner
“Lawn Mist’ Irrigator works best with a water pressure of 30 lbs. or more though very satisfactory results are
given with pressures as low as 20 lbs. Each section is fitted to a neat 2 wheel truck at one end and a shoe runner
at the opposite end. Coupled for ${ hose. (See engraving.)

Price, per 12 foot section, $8.00; 15 ft. section, $9.00; 18 foot section, $10.00. Flexible coupling to connect two

to stand a 300-pound water pressure, and it will be
as resilient in three or four years time as when new,
while cheap hose of that age will be hard and rotten.
Every length of Henderson’s ‘“‘ Best Para’’ Hose is
fitted with the new watertight couplings, without
extra charge. (Hose is furnished only in 25-feel
and 50-feet lengths; the sizes ${ and 1 inch refer to
the internal diameter of the bore.)

REVERO GARDEN HOSE.

A very high grade seamless hose, vulcanized
under pressure after the fabric is wound which forces
the rubber through the mesh from lining to circum-
ference, thus making a hose free from weak spots;
unleakable and unk’rkable. Although the first
cost of Revero Hose is more than for ordinary hose yet it will prove a good
investment in the long run and avoid the annoyance of working with leaky hose,
patching and loss of volume and force of water.

Price, in 25, 50 or 100 foot lengths with patent couplings attached: }-in.

tank of clear liquid manure, attach
the three-fourths inch discharge
hose, open the faucet, and go tothe
end of the hose. The liquid manure
follows, and will keep coming

Portable Refuse Burner.

A portable steel furnace for the rapid and convenient destruction of all
leaves, refuse, and waste matter. In reality a two-wheeled hand cart (for which
purpose it can also be used), made of strong steel angle iron and heavy steel
netting, whichis fireproof and guaranteed not to burn out. Is fitted with broad-
tired wheels, which enables it to be pulled along with the cleaning up squad
on lawns or soft ground without injury. A strong steel pan is fitted under
the axle which catches all the fire and ashes as they fall through the bottom.
This par can be easily emptied as needed. The unsightly burned spots on
lawns and black streaks of ashes on paths and drivesis done away with and
all danger of fire eliminated. Against the cost of hauling the leaves and rubbish
to a convenient spot
for burning, the leaf 49

The ‘‘Henderson”’ Barrow.

This barrow is light, strong and durable, has a steel wheel and axle and oil-
tempered springs, and we do not hesitate to say that it is the best barrow on
the market and as well painted, striped and varnished as a buggy. While its
carrying capa. <y is from 300 to 500 pounds, its weight is less than 50 pounds;
fully warranted to stand the roughest usage.

The tire being wide makes it more desirable for lawn and garden use and a
stronger wheel tor the pavements. The shoe brace, running from the rear of
the body to the foot of leg, is a great protection to the leg against breakage,
and prevents it from sinking into soft ground. The barrow is made of selected
material, and will outlast several of the cheaper, heavy, clumsy barrows.
Weight, 50 pounds; body, 26 inches by 224 inches by 12 inches deep; diameter
of wheel, 20 inches; width of tire, 14 inches. Price, $5.00.

Regulation Garden Wheel Barrow.

A superior barrow, handsomely painted and striped; iron leg braces, bolted,
not screwed on, run under the legs, forming a shoe to slide on, avoiding rack-
ing the barrow; iron bands shrunk on hubs. No pine used in these barrows.

Prices, No. 2, boy’s size, $3.00; No. 4, medium size, $4.00; No. 5, large

Eagle Steel Lawn Swing.

Will accommodate 4-passengers—is 8 feet 6 inches
long; 5 feet 6 inches wide; 7 feet 4 inches high. Full
swinging space, 12 feet. Weight, 200 pounds.
Width of seat, 30 inches; height of seat from platform,
17 inches. The frames are high carbon steel finished
in green and carmine enamel. The slats for seats
and platform are made of selected hardwood finished
in oil or painted a rich red, and will last for years.
The Eagle Four Passenger Lawn Swing may be used
as a swing; a reclining chair, or thrown perfectly flat
for a couch. It is fitted with a canopy top over
the seats, which may be removed by simply unfasten-
ing four hooks from the frame. To add greater
value to the Eagle Swing we have prepared a neat
table that may be placed upon the platform between
the seats and used as a lunch table, card table or sew-
ing table. Adjustable head rests can be furnished
which may be raised, lowered or removed as desired
by simply loosening thumb nuts.

There are side and end curtains furnished at
extra price, of same material as the canopy and
when these are attached it makes the swing as pri-
vate as a sleeping car berth, if you wish to use it as
a couch at home orincamp. Convenient clasps
make the removing of these curtains very easy.

The Eagle Steel Lawn Swing is not an ordinary |
cheap wood swing, but a high class swing for high
class people. If it did not have unusually desirable
features, there would be no good reason for offering
it. Everyone enjoys its motion because the seats
do not have that rocking effect—but remain in their
fixed position at all times. The Swing is shipped in
two packages—one containing the frame, the other
the seats, platform and canopy.

RUSTIC BIRD HOUSES

There is a growing movement among bird lovers through-
out the country to try and attract back again to suburban
districts the wild birds that formerly were so numerous. In
order to accomplish this, Nesting Houses are a necessity—
the absence of natural nesting places, in populated districts,
and the prevalence of sparrows being the cause of their
gradual disappearance.

For further details regarding birds and how to attract them,
send for our Bird Circular which gives a list of desirable
birds, the character of food they eat, nesting requirements,
winter feeding, with list of berries plants, shrubs, supplying

winter food, etc. No. 50—Hanging Wren

SHARONWARE
GARDEN WARE

This differs from or-
dinary concrete in be-
ing semiporous, there-
fore it absorbs and
holds moisture which
prevents the soil from
drying out quickly.
The roots on coming
in contact with it do
not burn, consequently
plants thrive better
than in containers of
iron or other material
which heat up in the
the hot sun. Sharon-
ware is frost proof and
as durable as granite;
the coloring is ivory
gray and very attrac-
tive. ‘‘ Sharonware
