Henderson's Special Grass Mixtures 



FOR HAY AND PERHANENT PASTURE. 



A FEW VERDICTS OF OUR CUSTOMERS SELECTED FROM HUNDREDS. 



NEW YORK. 



I have been particularly well pleased with mv 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. Wood, 



Ex-President Xew York State Agricultural Society. 



Y'our Grass Mixture looks better than any other meadow we have on 

 the whole farm. Chables Lactz. 



The crop was much in excess of ordinary grass seeds or Timothy used in 

 the neighborhood. As an evidence of my satisfaction, I have seeded down 

 another lot this fall, using the same seed. James A. Miller, Jr 



The Special Grass Mixtures bought from you have given every satisfac- 

 tion, and. after my experience with them, I should never think of planting 

 Timothy again. Cbaeles H. Leaycrift. 



It's the finest piece of grass anywhere about here. An old farmer told 

 me last week it would cut ; % 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. Oscar Silleck. 



It has yieldeJ m >re than double the amount of pasture a piece of Tim- 

 othy and Clover of the same size wo uld have done under the same conditions. 



Frank <j. McCollum. 



VERMONT. 



I have used your grass seeds for several years, and thev are easilv the best 

 in the market. " F. C. Kimball. 



I am mare 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, 1% tons 

 the second, and will cut 2" tons the third. The field is a grand sight. People 

 come for miles around to see it. E. E. Barney. 



IOWA. 



The Grass Mixture I got of you has done extra well, especially' this year 

 of drought. It stoad the drought and yielded about twice as much as 

 timothy, and the cattle seem to do better on it. Willabd Watson. 



MARYLAND. 



In about 6oo acres sown by me. some 250 were in open cleared woodland. 

 the balance fields. In all 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. I 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 meadow has given us the very best of satisfaction. It made a wonder- 

 ful growth and has given us a large amount of hay and pasture per acre. It 

 produced thj finest piece of grass I ever saw. W. J. Hates. 



MASSACHUSETTS. 



I cut So one-horse loads of well-cured hay from the Grass Mixture. Ms- 

 man estimated one-half ton per load, and I 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 wauld from any one kind of grass. Guy Smith. 



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. Fairbank. 



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 I am well satisfied with the result as I 

 cut more hiy from the land I used your seed on than from land seeded with 

 seed usually sown about me. Austin W. Wabd. 



The Grass Seed turned out verv satisfactory, and we have this vear 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 largest crop of 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 the drought in this vicinity. 



R 8. Tatlob 



PENNSYLVANIA. 



I will not seed down until spring as we are in such a drought that nothing 

 will grow. Rye and wheat will scarcely 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. Gaedikeb. 



The growth is simply wonderful, and do not think there is any other 

 grass to equal it for hay or pasture. I sowed about ten acres, from which I 

 have cut what I consider" the best hay ever made on my farms. J. S. Lomg. 



The Permanent Grass seed bought of you has proved a luxurious success. 

 The result exceeds 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 grazing. 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 surpassed clover and timothy in the amount 

 it yields. J. B. Commings. 



MAINE. 



I laid down some three or four acres with your Special Mixture of Grass 

 seed early last September and had a 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. Holmes. 



NEW HAMPSHIRE. 



The quality of the Permanent Pasture Grasses is all that could be desired 

 as it makes fine hay. Daniel Oilman. 



Your mixtures are unquestionably earlier than our common seed. 



Geo. B. Lkighton. 



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. Timothy Dolan. 



COLORADO. 



Y'our 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. 



I used 30 bushels of your mixture for permanent meadow on seven acres 

 in one field, and a little less than three acres in another. This year from the 

 three acres I got 9 two-horse loads of excellent quality, and from the seven 

 acres I got 23 two-horse loads, averaging a ton each, i expect to get a good 

 second crop. The mixtures are better than the old-fashioned seeding of 

 Timothy, Red-top and Clover. R. E. Holmes. 



The 16 bushels Permanent Pasture Grass you sent me has proved a perfect 

 success. I shall want more in the SDring. J. 8. MacFarlane. 



RHODE ISLAND. 



I tried your mixture in order to avoid making " Daisy Hav," 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 lawn in a few days after cutting. 



Jultcs Palmkb. 



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 spring 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 admi: 

 the neighboring farmers. Our Timothy meadow is nearly all killed or dried 

 up, no pasture. But the Special Grass Mixture is now verv nice and grt 



E. W. BBI 



Your Grass Mixture was acknowledged by all who saw it to be the best 

 field of grass in this section. Jjhn S. Bioei 



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. IaVetba. 



~ From your Permanent Pasture Mixture, about eighty bushels, I had two 

 crops together, about 3 'i tons per acre. E. J. tin 



The Special Grass Mixture yielded me a crop of hav mare 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.
