10 HENDERSON’S TESTED FARM SEEDS 
ae rs 2a. 
meen crass Mixture FOR PERMANENT PASTURE 
Supplies Continuous and Abundant Pasturage for Twenty Years or More, Remains 
Green and Succulent All Summer Long, VWWhen 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 Grasses used in our Special Mixtures. These Mixtures 
contain over a dozen of the best permament Grasses, both American-grown and imported. All are perma- 
nent, and when once established will last indefinitely, if the 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. Sow 
40 lbs. per acre. Price (purchaser paying transportation), 35c. per lb.; 10 Ibs., $3.25; 160 lbs., $30.00. 
nner orass seep mixture FOR, PERMANENT HAY 
Supplies a Good Crop of Hay in Dry Seasons when ordinary Hayfields are Burned Up 
Although the most widely cultivated hay grass in the United States is Timothy, or a mixture of Timothy 
and Clover, and while they answer the purpose admirably on farms where the soil is suitable and where 
the usual three and four years’ rotation is carried on, yet there are many other grasses which will yield 
more profitable returns. 
An acre of Henderson’s Special Grass Mixture for Permanent Hay will yield double the quantity of 
an acre of Timothy and Clover, and the farmer whose land is sown with a proper mixture of Permanent 
Grasses, requiring only an occasional top-dressing of manure or fertilizer to maintain their heavy cropping 
qualities for twenty years or more, avoids the expense of the yearly plowing and cultivating, necessary 
in rotation cropping. 
Hay yields very profitable annual returns at a minimum of labor and expense. The seed of these 
Permanent Grasses is more costly than Timothy, and more is required per acre, but by reason of their 
heavy cropping qualities and permanency they soon repay the extra cost and leave a handsome margin 
for the farmer, when the cost of plowing, harrowing and re-seeding Timothy every three and four years 
is taken into consideration.

PERMANENT CLOVERS 
Do not omit to sow Clovers with the Grasses, as they add to the yield of hay and pasture, and by their 
ability to collect atmospheric nitrogen and store it in the root nodules, assist the growth of the Grasses 
and are of considerable benefit to subsequent crops. 
Mixed Permanent Clovers, on account of their greater atin should be sown separately, but at the 
same time as the Grasses. This Mixed Clover comprises White, Mammoth Perennial or Cow Grass, 
Alsike, etc. Sow 10 lbs. per acre. Price, 50c. per lb.; 10 Ibs., $4.75; 100 Ibs., $45.00.
