This famous mixture has seeded thousands of acres of meadow and 

 pasture land for progressive farmers and stock raisers in various parts 

 of the United States, with most gratifying results. It is a well-balanced 

 combination of a number of native and acclimated foreign Grasses 

 and Clovers, blended and improved upon during exhaustive trails 

 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 maxi- 

 mum quantity of forage. These Grasses are of superior quality, inviting 

 sweet and nourishing, whether used as hay or pasture. We have 

 received numerous letters of praise for these special Grass mixtures 

 from the users, and tributes to their merits have been published in many 

 of the agricultural journals. 



The Initial Cost is More in seeding with Henderson's Special Grass 

 Mixture, but the ultimate returns are much more profitable than those 

 from ordinary hay and pasture fields, and when the other advantages 

 are considered — including the permanency of a maintained yield — the 

 first expense will be found a paying and satisfactory investment. 



In preparing these mixtures the greatest care is exercised in select- 

 ing such varieties as are suited to the soil to be sown and arc likely 

 to realize the object in view. Therefore a description of the soil and 

 climate, and the purpose for which sown, and if with or without a grain 

 crop, should accompany each order. State whether wanted for light, 

 medium or heavy soils. Sow 40 lbs. per acre. 



Full directions for sowing enclosed in every bag. 



Price 35c. per lb., $3.25 per 10 lbs.; $30.00 per 100 lbs.

 FOP, PEKMANENT PASTURE 



Supplies Continuous and Abundant Pasturage for Twenty 

 Years or More. Remains Green and Succulent All Summer 

 Long, When Ordinary Crazing Lands Are Burned Brown 



There is no more important part of a farm than a good pasture, and 

 that can only be obtained by the use of the proper Grasses, varieties 

 that have different root formations and different habits and season of 

 growth, in order to maintain a rich, close turf throughout the entire 

 season. Timothy should never be used for pasture, because it will 

 not stand trampling, and soon runs out when heavily pastured and 

 at best is short-lived, as compared with the permanent Grasses used 

 in our Special Mixtures. These Mixtures contain over a dozen of the 

 best permament Grasses, both American-grown and imported. All 

 are permanent, and when once established will last indefinitely, if tin- 

 fertility of the soil is kept up by occasional top-dressing. Owing to 

 the different habits of growth, the Grasses grow closer together and form 

 a rich, close turf, covering the soil completely and forming a protection 

 to the roots during hot. dry weather, thereby enabling these Grasses 

 to maintain a rich green appearance when Timothy and other Grasses 

 are burned up. The thick turf also prevents animals poaching through 

 and destroying the pasture. 



We have for years studied the subject of pastures and their formation 

 with exhaustive tests on our own trial farms, where we have had growing 

 separately and in different Mixtures all the Grasses of which seed cau 

 be procured in commercial quantities. These trials have been br 

 studied and the results watched with critical interest on the farm of 

 our customers. We are in an unrivaled position to advise you Ol the 

 subject and to supply suitable Grass seeds for Permanent Pi
