GRASS lands, in consequence of being constantly mown or pastured without being 

 fertilized or manured, frequently become impoverished and deficient in the 

 more valuable and nutritious grasses, and in time become unprofitable. It is 

 frequently unnecessary to plow up such land unless it be full of weeds. The turf 

 should be well harrowed with a sharp-tooth harrow, and, if possible, top-dressed 

 with soil and wpll-rotted stable manure, which should be well harrowed in, and 

 then sown with HENDERSON'S RENOVATING MIXTURE, at the rate of one 

 bushel per acre, and five pounds of mixed clovers. This mixture is composed of 

 those sorts that are best suited for sowing on old pastures or meadows, and it will 

 speedily improve the quality and increase the produce. March and April are the 

 best months for sowing, choosing an interval between rains if possible, though, 

 if inconvenient to sow then, very satisfactory results can be obtained by fall sowing. 

 After sowing, the ground should be lightly harrowed and afterward well rolled.

UNLESS there is a superabundance of nitrogen in the soil and a consequent 

 excessive wood growth, in which case it is desirable to sow the land with 

 grasses, it is now customary to sow orchards with cover crops, such as Cow 

 Peas, Clover, etc. These are plowed under and the orchard kept in constant 

 cultivation. But where it is desired to sow the orchard with grass, or for wood- 

 land pastures, even when the shade is comparatively dense, we can with all 

 confidence recommend this mixture. 



It is composed of a selection of grasses which from exhaustive experiments 

 we have found will thrive under trees. Orchard Grass is, of course, 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.
