Henderson’s Special Grass Mixtures 
FOR HAY AND PERMANENT PASTURE. 
A FEW VERDICTS OF OUR CUSTOMERS SELECTED FROM HUNDREDS. 
NEW YORK. 
I have been particularly well pleased with my pastures during 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 pastures 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. Caargves Lavrz. 
The crop was much in excess of ordinary grass seeds or Timothy used in 
the neizhborhood. As an evidence of my satisfaction, I have seeded down 
another lot this fall, usin s the same seed. James A. MILLER, JR 
The Special Grass Mixtures bought Brom you have given every satisfac- 
s 
tion, and, after my experience with them, ould never think of planting 
Timothy again. Caarces H. LEAYORAFr 
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. USOAR STLLECK, 
It has yielded more than double the amount of pasture a piece of Tim= 
othy and Clover of the same size would have done under the same conditions. 
FRANK G. MoCoutum. 
VERMONT. 
I have used your grass seeds for several years, and they are easily the best 
in the market. F. C, KIMBALL. 
I am more than pleased with the results of both Lawn and Pasture, and 
am satisfied that P. H. & Co.’s seeds are unsurpassed. C. F. HASTINGS, 
VIRGINIA. 
My manager is enthusiastic over your Mixture for Hay and Permanent 
Pasture. He claims this year he cut 3 tons per acre the first cutting, 134 tons 
the second, and will cut 2 tons the third. The field isa grand sight. People 
come for miles around to see it. E. E. BarNeEy. 
IOWA. 
The Grass Mixture I got of you has done extra well, especially this year 
of drought. It stood the drouzht 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. [nall 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 
you I got a good stand and a splendid growth. [am well pleased; it does 
well in this section. 8. C. JoNEs. 
OHIO. 
The Special Grass Mixture that I purchased from you last fall for per- 
manent m2ad)w has given us the very best of satisfaction. It made a wonder- 
ful growth and has given us 1 large amonnt of hay and pasture per acre. It 
produced the finest piece of grass I ever saw. Ww Hayes. 
MASSACHUSETTS. 
I cut 80 one-horse loads of well-cured hay from the Grass Mixture. My 
man estimated one-half ton per load, and [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. I am well pleased with the result and am satisfied I got much 
more than I would from any one kind of grass. Goy Suira. 
The seed for the meadow land was all right, and has proved a great 
success in every way. I have cut two heavy crops each year. 
W. H. FATRBANK. 
The Grass Seed came up so rank I had to cut it the forepart of June, a very 
heavy crop of nice hay. E. L. BARTLETT. 
This is the 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 season. 
H. L. Park. 
I had four bushels of your Special Grass Seed Mixture in the fall of 1887, 
and the same amount last season, and [am well satisded with the result, as I 
cut more hiy from th2 land Lused your seed on than from land seeded with 
seed usually sown about me. Austin W. Warp. 
The Grass Seed turned out very satisfactory, and we have this year cut 
three large crops of grass from the land seeded last fall with the seed bought 
of you. C. E. RoGers. 
INDIANA. 
Your Special Grass Mixture has done very well for me. It produced, this 
season, the lirgest cropof hay that I ever saw cut off the ground, and has been 
yielding a most excellent pasture for over a month past, and this notwith- 
standing the extraordinary severity of tne drought in this vicinity. 
R. 8. TAYLOR. 
PENNSYLVANIA. 
I will not seed down until spring as we are in such a drought that nothing 
will grow. Rye and wheat will scircely germinate. Your grass seed upon 
Mr. Wayne McVeagh’s farm is the 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. ! sowed about ten acres, from which I 
ave cut what I consider the best hay ever made on my farms. J. 8. Lona, 
The Permanent Grass seed bought of you has proved a luxurious success, 
The result excee Is 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 makes a good grass for 
meadow, or for yrazing. It is fine, close grass and the cattle like it. 
PAUL A. OLIVER. 
The green appearance of the field attracted universal attention. ‘The 
seed seemed to get hold of the soil completely—no bare spots, but the ground 
entirely covered. It has far surpassei clover and timothy in the amount 
it yields. J. B. CUMMINGS. 
MAINE. 
I laid down some three or four acres with your Special Mixture of Grass 
seed early last September and hala beautiful “catch’’ It was the wonder of 
all, and many persons thought it must be grain; it certainly looked 
splendidly. I did not succeed in getting four tons or more per acre, but I 
did get more than from anything else, and it is splendid hay. 
Geo. M. HotmeEs. 
NEW HAMPSHIRE. 
The quality of the Permanent Pasture Grasses is all that 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 I hope soon to send you new 
orders. TimorHy 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. 
T used 30 bushels of your mixture for permanent meadow on seven acres 
in one field, and a little less than three acresin another. ‘This year from the 
three acres I got 9 two-horse loads of excellent quality, and from the seven 
acres I got 28 two-horse loads, averaging aton each. [expect to get a good 
second crop. The mixtures are better than the old-fashioned seeding of 
Timothy, Red top and Clover. R. E. Houmes, 
‘The 16 bushels Permanent Pasture Grass you sent me has proved a perfect 
success. I shall want more in the spring. J. 3. 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 expectations, and 
each year the lot looks like a lawnina few days after cutting. 
JULIUS PALMER. 
The Permanent Grass Seed I will order of you in the fall, as I would like 
to see if the result could come up to the sprinz sowing 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 a very good crop the 20th of June, and in two weeks had good 
pasture—the best in the township, and very good now, and much admired by 
the neighboring farmers. Our Timothy meadow is nearly all killed or dried 
up, no pasture. But the Special Grass Mixture is now very nice and green. 
E. W. BROUEN. 
Your Grass Mixture was acknowledged by all who saw it to be the best 
field of grass in this section. JOHN 3S. BIGELOW. 
I have an even, solid stand of grass that affords ample pasture, and far 
better than those adjoining me who depend on Clover and Timothy. 
E P. [AFETRA. 
From your Permanent Pasture Mixture, about eighty bushels, I had two 
crops tozether, about 3% tons per acre. E. J. GEHBEN. 
The Special Grass Mixture yielded mea crop of hay more than twice as 
great per acre as the Timothy seed, which I sowed alongside of it at the 
same time and with the same care and fertilizing that I gave yours
