HENDERSON'S SPECIAL 



GRASS SEED MIXTURE FOR 



Hay and Permanent Pasture 



PRODUCES WONDERFUL HAY CROPS AND PASTURE, MAINTAINING ITS CROPPING QUALITIES TWENTY YEARS OR MORE 



It is a well-balanced combination of a number of native and acclimated foreign Grasses and Clovers, blended and improved upon during 

 exhaustive 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 of heat, drought and cold, 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. That 

 we have been successful is attested by the numerous letters of praise for these special Grass Mixtures that we have received from the users, and 

 the tributes to their merits published in many of the agricultural journals. 



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. Sow 40 lbs. per acre.

Henderson's Special Grass Seed Mixture 

 FOR PERMANENT HAY 



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 

 maintain their heavy cropping qualities for twenty years or more, 

 avoids the expense of the yearly plowing and cultivating, necessary 

 in rotation cropping. 



Price (purchaser paying transportation), 35c. per lb.; 10 lbs., $3.25; 

 100 lbs., $30.00. 



Henderson's Special Grass Mixture for Woodland Pastures 



It is composed of a selection of Grasses which from exhaustive experi- 

 ments we have found will thrive under trees. Orchard Grass is, of 

 course, 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 (purchaser paying transportation), 35c. per lb.; 10 lbs. $3.25; 

 100 lbs., $30.00. 



Henderson's Special Grass Mixture 

 FOR PERMANENT PASTURE 



Supplies Continuous and Abundant Pasture for Twenty Years 

 or More, Remaining Green and Succulent All Summer Long 



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 

 trampling, and soon runs out when heavily pastured and a't 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 America-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. 



Price (purchaser paying transportation), 35c. per lb.; 10 lbs., $3.25; 

 100 lbs., $30.00. 



PERMANENT CLOVERS 



Do not omit to sow Clovers with the Grasses, as they add to the yield 

 of hay and pasture, and by their ability to collect atmospheric nitrogen 

 and store it in the root nodules, assist the growth of the Grasses and 

 are of considerable benefit to subsequent crops. 



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 lbs. per acre. Price, 45c. per lb.; 10 lbs., $4.25; 100 lbs., $40.00 



HENDERSON'S RENOVATING MIXTURE FOR IMPROVING OLD PASTURES. (Sow 40 lbs. per acre.) Price (purchaser paying 



transportation), 35c. per lb.; 10 lbs., $3.25; 100 lbs., $30.00.
