HAY AND PERMANENT PASTURES. 



HENDERSON'S SPECIAL GRASS MIXTURE, consisting of the varieties recommended on the previous page, blended . in 

 proper proportions, we will furnish for $2.75 per bushel. To seed down an acre five and a half bushels are required.* While 

 the leading variety used in this mixture is Orchard Grass, the addition of the several other Grasses named add to its 

 value. First, because Orchard Grass sown alone has a tendency to form tussocks or clumps, which, however, can be 

 overcome by thick seeding ; but if through want of care the seeding has not been thick, the other Grasses being sown 

 with it fill up the vacant spaces between the Orchard Grass. In addition to this, the other Grasses have special value 

 in pasture lands for different animals— Sheep's Fescue, for instance, is always eagerly sought for by sheep, who are very 

 fond of it.

 Having grown Henderson's Snowball Cauliflower the past season, I must say that it is as sure to head as anything I have ever seen, and 

 solid heads, too. Your Pea, Henderson's First of All, proved all that you recommended it to be. JOHN B. CHASE.
