HENDERSON'S FARMERS MANUAL 



Henderson's Special Grass Seed 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 

 purposes 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 heavy 

 cropping qualities for twenty years or more, avoids the expense of the 

 yearly plowing, and cultivating necessary in rotation cropping. Sow 40 lbs 

 per acre. 



Price, lb. 50c; 10 lbs. $4.50; 25 lbs. $10.00; 100 lbs. $35.00: transportation 

 paid. 



Henderson's Special Grass Seed Mixture for 



WOODLAND PASTURES 



Is composed of a selection of Grasses which will thrive under trees. 

 Orchard Grass is one of the best Grasses for the purpose, but this mixture 

 is much superior, as it will make a closer and more even pasture than 

 Orchard Grass alone. Sow 40 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb. 60c; 10 lbs. $5.00; 25 lbs. $11.25; 100 lbs. $40.00; transportation 

 paid. 



FOR PASTURE 

 Henderson's Special Grass Seed Mixture for 



PERMANENT PASTURE 



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 com- 

 pared with the permanent Grasses used in our Special Mixtures. These 

 Mixtures contain over a dozen of the best permanent Grasses, both Ameri- 

 can-grown and imported. All are permanent, and when once established 

 will last indefinitely, if the fertility of the soil is kept up by occasional top- 

 dressing. Sow 40 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb. 50c; 10 lbs. $4.50; 25 lbs. $10.00; 100 lbs. $35.00; transportation 

 paid. 



RENOVATING MIXTURE 



For Impoverished Grass Lands 

 Sow the grass seed at rate of 40 lbs. to an acre. 



Price, lb. 50c; 10 lbs. $4.50; 25 lbs. $10.00; 100 lbs. $35.00; transportation
