Henderson's Special Grass Mixtures 



OR HAY AND PERMANENT PASTURE 



WILL LAST TWENTY YEARS WITHOUT RENEWAL, 



Consisting of the following varieties : Orchard Grass, Meadow Foxtail, Sheep's Fescue, 

 Rhode Island or Creeping Bent, Hard Fescue, Sweet Scented Vernal (True Perennial i,' 

 Meadow Fescue, English Rye Grass, Italian Rye Grass, Red Top, etc., as recommended in 

 our book, "How the Farm Pays," blended in proportions which, we have found from 

 actual use, give the most satisfactory results. 



On ordinary fertile soil 3 bushels of this mixture is sufficient to seed an acre, but where the 

 land is poor a larger quantity will be necessary. Taking one soil with another a fair average 

 would be 3 bushels to the acre. 



For Hay and Permanent Pasture for Light soils

" Hay only. Specially recommended for large hay crop 



" Pasture only. Will stand close cropping without

To these mixtures, intended for either Mowing Lands or Pasture (but which, on account of 

 their greater weight should be sown separately), are to be added 10 lbs. of Mixed Clovers, com- 

 prising White, Mammoth Perennial or Cow Grass, Alsike, Trefoil, etc., but these should only 

 be sown in the spring, as they are rather tender in this latitude if sown in the fall.

 The quantity needed (10 lbs.) of MIXED CLOVERS to

Country Gentleman says : " Below the taller grasses was a thick mat of finer kinds, and the close, rich turf 

 hid every particle of soil." 



American Agriculturist says: "Such mixtures are far superior to Timothy, or 'Timothy and Clover,' or 

 any one grass, costing but a little more, lasting much longer, and giving frequently more than double the yield." 



Farm and Home says: "The enormous yield of nearly four and one-half ions of good hay per acre should 

 convince any one that more hay and better pasture can be grown with mixtures than with Timothy and Clover 

 alone, as under the very same conditions the latter yielded less than a ton and a half per acre." 



How the Farm Pays says: "Far in advance not only of Timothy but of any other Grass we have thus far 

 in cultivation." 



At our Farm one of these Mixtures yielded (first cutting, 5,888 lbs. ; second cutting, 4,320 lbs. per acre) 

 a total of 10,208 LBS. CURED HAY PER ACRE, while Timothy growing alongside under 

 same conditions yielded only one cutting of 2,400 lbs. per acre. 

 At first sight, $7.50 to $10.00 per acre appears to be a high price for the seeding of a pasture, 

 but bear in mind that it is a permanent pasture that we have in view, and nowhere can a per- 

 manent pasture be laid down properly for a less original outlay than that we name.
