ENDERSON'S SPEGIflL... 

 ...GRASS 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 seasons 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 perma- 

 nent grasses used in our Special Mixtures. These Mixtures contain over a dozen of the best perma- 

 nent grasses, both American-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. 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 vrhen Timothy and other grasses are burned ' 

 up. The thick turf also prevents animals poaching through and destroying the pasture. 



We Jiave 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 can be procured in commercial quantities. These trials have been broadly studied and 

 the results watched with critical interest on the farms of our customers. We are in an unrivalled 

 position to advise you on the subject and to supply suitable grass seeds for Permanent Pasture. 

 While it costs a little more to seed an acre with this special mixture, yet results are so superior and 

 permanent that they more than offset the original cost. Sow not less than 3 bushels per acre. 

 Directions enclosed in every bag.
