Henderson's Special Grass Mixtures 
FOR HAY AND PERMANENT PASTURE. 
A FEW WERDICTS OF OUR CUSTOMERS 
SELECTED FROM HUNDREDS. 
NEW YORK. 
I have been particularly well pleased with my pastures dur- 
ing this exceptionally dry autumn (1895). They were seeded with 
your Permanent Grass Mixtures six and seven years ago, and 
have steadily improved during that time. When ordinary pas- 
tures were bare during the dry weather these gave constant 
feed. Jas. Woop. 
Ex-President New York State Agricultural Society. 
Your Grass Mixture looks better than any other meadow 
we have on the whole farm. CHARLES LAUYZ. 
It’s the finest piece of grass anywhere about here. An old 
farmer told me last week it would cut 3% tons to the acre sure. 
JAMES M. RICHARDS. 
Your Special Mixture of Grasses was a success; compared 
with Timothy and Clover, the yield is double. OSCAR SILLECK. 
It has yielded more than double the amount of pasture a 
piece of Timothy and Clover of the same size would have done 
under the same conditions. FRANK G. MCCOLLUM. 
VERMONT, 
I have used your grass seeds for several years, and they are 
easily the best in the market. F. C. KIMBALL. 
Iam more than pleased with the results of both Lawn and 
Pasture, and am satisfied that P. H. & Co.’s seeds are unsur- 
passed. C. F. HASTINGS. 
VIRGINIA. 
My manager is enthusiastic over your Mixture for Hay and 
Permanent Pasture. He claims this year he «ut 3 toms per acre 
the first cutting, 13{ tons the second, and will cut 2 tons the 
third. The field is a grand sight. People come for miles around 
to see it. E. E. BARNEY. 
IOWA. 
The Grass Mixture I got of you has done extra well, espec- 
jally this year of drought. It stood the drought and yielded 
about twice as much as Timothy, and the cattle seem to do 
better on it. WILLARD WATSON. 
MARYLAND. 
In about 600 acres sown by me, some 250 were in open cleared 
woodland, the balance fields. In all cases the Grass Mixture 
took uniformly well and gave very satisfactory results. 
W. T. BARNARD. 
It gives me pleasure to inform you that from the Grass seed 
I bought of youl got a good stand and a splendid growth. I am 
well pleased; it does well in this section. 5. C. JONES. 
OHIO. 
The Special Grass Mixture that I purchased from you last fall 
for permanent meadow has given us the very best of satisfaction. 
It made a wonderful growth and has given usa large amount of 
hay and pasture per acre. It produced the finest piece of grass 
lever saw. W. J. HAYES. 
MASSACHUSETTS. 
Icut 80 one-horse loads of well-cured hay fromthe Grass 
Mixture. My man estimated one-half ton per load, and I think it 
was near that. This year I had as much for the first crop, but on 
account of drought the second crop was light. Iam well pleased 
with the result and am satisfied I got much more thanI would 
from any one kind of grass. GUY SMITH. 
The seed for the meadow land was allright, and has proved 
a great success in every way. I have cut two heavy crops each 
year. W. H. FAIRBANK. 
The Grass Seed came up so rank I had to cut it the fore part 
of June, a very heavy crop of nice hay. E. L. BARTLETT. 
This isthe third year, and there was a heavy crop cut on it 
two weeks before Timothy was ready, and, much to my surprise, 
there was quite a good second crop in spite of the very dry sea- 
son. H. L. PARK. 
INDIANA. 
Your Special Grass Mixture has done very well forme. It 
produced this season the largest crop of hay that I ever saw cut 
off the ground, and has been yielding a most excellent pasture 
for over a month past, and this notwithstanding the extraordi- 
nary severity of the drought in this vicinity. R. S. TAYLOR. 
PENNSYLVANIA. 
I will not seed down until spring as we are in such a drought 
that nothing will grow. Rye and wheat will scarcely germinate. 
Your grass seed upon Mr. Wayne McVeagh'‘s farmisthe greenest 
spot here ; it looks well, although such a dry time. 
JOHN G. GARDINER. 
The growth is simply wonderful, and do not think there is 
any other grass to equal it for hay or pasture. I sowed about ten 
acres from which I have cut what I consider the best hay ever 
made on my farms. J. S. LONG. 
The Permanent grass seed bought of you has proved a luxu- 
tious success. The result exceeds my expectations. In short. I 
think it the best grass seed to be had, and shall use fifty bushels 
more in the spring. W. H. REED. 
The Grass seed sent me turned out well. It makesa good 
grass for meadow or for grazing. It1s fine, close grass and the 
cattle like it. PAUL A. OLIVER. 
MAINE. 
I laid down some three or four acres with your Special Mix- 
ture of Grass seed early last September and hada beautiful 
‘catch.’”’ It was the wonder of all, and many persons thought it 
must be grain; it certainiy looked splendidly. I did not succeed 
in getting four tons or more peracre, but I did get more than 
from anything else, and itis splendid hay. GEO. M. HOLMEs. 
NEW HAMPSHIRE. 
The quality of the Permanent Pasture Grasses isallthat could 
be desired, as it makes fine hay. DANIEL GILMAN. 
Your mixtures are unquestionably earlier than our common 
seed. GEO. B. LEIGHTON. 
NORTH CAROLINA. 
The grass seeds purchased from you, and,in fact. all my 
other dealings with your house, give entire satisfaction, and [| 
hope soon to send you new orders. TIMOTHY DOLAN. 
COLORADO. 
Your Grass Seed has given the best of satisfaction. They are 
the most reliable I have ever used. SAM STEVENSON. 
CONNECTICUT. 
The mixed grasses have given better crops of hay and have 
not died out so bad as grasses sowed by themselves. After we 
had some little rain the mixed grasses started sooner and had a 
much greener look and have grown better afterwards, I would 
not again sow grasses alone, but would always sow the mixture. 
H. L. STEWART. 
I used 30 bushels of your mixture for permanent meadow on 
seven acres in one field, and a little less than three acres in ano- 
ther. This year from the three acres I got 9two-horse loads of 
excellent quality.and from the seven acres 1 got 28 two-horse 
loads, averaging atoneach. I expect to get a good second crop. 
The mixtures are better than the old-fashioned seeding of Timo- 
thy, Red-top and Clover. R. E. HOLMEs. 
The 16 bushels Permanent Pasture Grass you sent me have 
proved a perfect success. I shall want more in the spring. 
J. S. MACFARLANE. 
RHODE ISLAND. 
I tried your mixture in order to avoid making ‘‘Daisy Hay,’’ 
which seems to be the prevailing kind all about me, and I am 
glad to say I have so far succeeded in being free of that pest. 
As to quick growth after cutting, it has exceeded my expec- 
tations, and each year the lot looks like alawnin afew days after 
cutting. JULIUS PALMER. 
Tne Permanent Grass Seed I will order of youinthe fall, as 
I would like to see if the result could come up to the spring sow- 
ing of 40 bushels which I purchased of you in’96, and which to- 
day is the best field of grass on the Island. BRADFORD NORMAN. 
NEW JERSEY. 
We mowed avery good crop the 20th of June, andin two 
weeks had good pasture—the best in the township, and very good 
now, and much 2dmired by the neighboring farmers. Our Tim- 
othy meadow is nearly all killed or dried up; nopasture. But 
the Special Grass Mixture is now very niee and green. 
E. W. BRUEN. 
Your Grass Mixture was acknowledged by all who saw it to 
be the best field of grass 1n this section. JOHN S. BIGELOW. 
I have an even, solid stand of grass that affords ample pas- 
ture, and far better than those adjoining me who depend on 
Clover and Timothy. E. P. LAFETRA.
