Henderson's Special Grass Mixtures for Hay and Pasture 



Produce Wonderful Hay Crops and Luxuriant Pasture Lasting Many Years 



HAY AND PERMANENT 

 PASTURE 



Special Grass Seed Mixture 



This mixture is made up of native and acclimated foreign Grasses 

 thoroughly blended, and improved upon during trials under widely varied 

 conditions, soils and localities for several years until practically perfect, 

 our aim being to produce, under the extremes of the American climate, 

 a Permanent dense and deep-rooting turf that would yield year after year 

 the maximum quantity of foliage. These Grasses are of superior quality, 

 inviting, sweet and nourishing, whether used as hay or pasture. 



In preparing these Mixtures the greatest care is exercised in selecting 

 such varieties as are suited to the soil to be sown and are likely to realize 

 the object in view. Therefore a description of the soil whether Light, 

 Medium or Heavy, and climate, and if with or without a grain crop, should 

 accompany each order. (See illustration.) Sow 40 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb. 60c; 10 lbs. $4.00; 100 lbs. $30.00; transportation paid. 



PERMANENT PASTURE 



Special Grass Seed Mixture 



There is no more important part of a farm than a good pasture, and 

 that can only be obtained by the use of the proper Grasses, varieties 

 that have different root formations and different habits and season of 

 growth, in order to maintain a rich, close turf throughout the entire season. 

 Timothy should never be used for pasture because it will not stand tramp- 

 ling, and soon runs out when heavily pastured and at best is short-lived, 

 as compared with the permanent Grasses used in our Special Mixtures. 

 These Mixtures contain over a dozen of the best permanent Grasses, 

 both American-grown and imported. All are permanent, and when once 

 established will last indefinitely, if the fertility of the soil is kept up by 

 occasional top-dressing. Sow 40 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb. 50c; 10 lbs. $4.00; 100 lbs. $30.00; transportation paid. 



PERMANENT HAY 



Special Grass Seed Mixture 



Supplies a Good Crop of Hay in Dry Seasons 



When Ordinary Hayfields are Burned Up 



Although the most widely cultivated Hay Grass in the United States 

 is Timothy, or a mixture of Timothy and Clover, and while they answer 

 the purposes admirably on farms where the soil is suitable and where 

 the usual three and four years' rotation is carried on, yet there are many 

 other Grasses which will yield more profitable returns. 



An acre of Henderson s Special Grass Mixture for Permanent Hay 

 will yield double the quantity of an acre of Timothy and Clover, and the 

 farmer whose land is sown with a proper mixture of Permanent Grasses, 

 requiring only an occasional top-dressing of manure or fertilizer to main- 

 tain heavy cropping qualities for twenty years or more, avoids the expense 

 of the yearly plowing, and cultivating necessary in rotation cropping. Sow 

 40 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb. 80c; 10 lbs. $4.00; 100 lbs. $30.00; transportation paid. 



WOODLAND PASTURES 



Special Grass Seed Mixture 



Is composed of a selection of Grasses which will thrive under trees. 

 Orchard Grass is 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. Sow 40 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb. 60c; 10 lbs. $5.00; 100 lbs. $40.00; transportation paid. 



RENOVATING MIXTURE 



For Impoverished Grass Lands 



Sow the grass seed at rate of 40 lbs. to an acre. 



Price, lb. 50c; 10 lbs. $4.00; 100 lbs. $30.00; transportation paid. 



Full directions for sowing enclosed in every bag. In ordering, state whether for Light Soils, Heavy Soils or Medium.

 A much delayed testimony in regard to some grass seed purcased from you 

 forty-four years ago, known as Permanent Pasture. This lot has been in 

 pasture ever since I put in the seed, and is still a No. A-l pasture, in fact, the 

 best pasture on the farm. It had always been known up to that time, as a hard 

 lot to keep in grass. Ambrose M. Culver, 



Amenia, N. Y. 



Mixed Permanent Clovers 



On account of their greater weight, should be sown separately, but at 

 the same time as the Grasses. This Mixed Clover comprises White, 

 Mammoth Perennial or Cow Grass, Alsike, etc. Sow 10 pounds per acre. 



Price, purchaser paying transportation, lb. 55c; 10 lbs., 4.25; 25 lbs., 

 $10.00; 100 lbs., $35.00.
