HENDERSON’S SPECIAL GRASS SEED MIXTURE FOR 
Hay and Permanent Pasture 
(See illustration on Front Cover) 
Produces Wonderful Hay Crops and Pasture, Maintaining 
Its Cropping Qualities Twenty Years or More 
It has been fully demonstrated by the careful trials considered by the Agricultural 
Experiment Stations in various parts of the country that good pasturage, and good hay 
crops can be best secured by sowing Grass seeds in mixtures. Pastures seeded naturally 
are always found to contain many varieties of Grasses growing and flourishing side by 
side without detriment to each other, and attaining their maximum of growth at differ- 
ent periods of the year. It is to this notable characteristic that such pastures furnish 
continually an abundant bite, when meadows and pastures composed of but a few varieties 
are brown and bare. 
Another great advantage in sowing Grass seed mixtures is that full use is made of 
the land. The various Grasses being of different habit, seek the food they require at 
unequal depths in the soil, some being shallow-rooted in habit and some deep-rooted; 
thus every strata of soil is ‘utilized, and a far greater number of plants grow and flourish 
in a given space. 
Henderson’s Special Grass Seed Mixture for Hay and Permanent Pasture is a well- 
balanced combination of a number of native and acclimated foreign Grasses, blended and 
improved upon during exhaustive trials under widely varied conditions, soils and localities 
for several years, until practically perfect, our aim being to produce, under the extremes 
of the American climate of heat, drought and cold, a Permanent dense and deep-rooting 
turf that would yield year after year the maximum quantity of forage. These Grasses 
are of superior quality, inviting, sweet and nourishing, whether used as hay or pasture. 
That we have been successful is attested by the numerous letters of praise for these 
special Grass Mixtures that we have received from the users, and the tributes to their 
merits published in many of the agricultural journals. 
In preparing these Mixtures the greatest care is exercised in selecting such varieties 
as are suited to the soil to be sown and are likely to realize the object in view. There- 
fore a description of the soil, whether Light, Medium or Heavy and climate, and if with 
or without a grain crop, should accompany each order. Sow 40 lbs. per acre. Full direc- 
tions for sowing enclosed in every bag. 
Price, lb. 50c.; 10 lbs. $4.00; 25 lbs. $8.75; 100 lbs. $30.00; transportation paid.
