Henderson's Special Grass Seed Mixture 

 FOR HAY AND PERMANENT PASTURE 



It Produces Wonderful Hay Crops and Luxuriant Pasture 

 Maintaining Its Cropping Qualities Twenty Years or More 



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 Grass - 

 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 



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- 

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

Henderson's Special Grass Mixture 

 FOR PERMANENT PASTURE 



Supplies Continuous and Abundant Pasturage for Twenty 

 Years or More, Remains Green and Succulent All Summer 

 Long, When Ordinary Grazing 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 (li 

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

 best permament Grasses, both American-grown and All 



are permanent, and when once established will last indefinitely, if the 

 fertility of the soil is kept up by occasional top-dressing. < 'w i 

 the different habits of growth, the Grasses grow closer togethei 

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

 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 animal- poaching th] 

 and destroying the pasture. 



We have lor years studied the Subject of pastures and their 

 with exhaustive te-ts on our own trial farms, where we he

studied and the results wateiied with critical interest on th
