"GRASS IS KING" 



GOOD GRASS IS THE FOUNDATION OF AGRICULTURE 



••NO GRASS, NO CATTLE ; NO CATTLE, NO MANURE ; NO MANUKE, NO CROPS I"— Old Proverb 



There is no more profitable part of a farm than a good pasture. 

 Pasture forms the cheapest possible food for all stock ; for the cost 

 of pasturing a cow for one day has been found by actual experiment 

 to be onh' from 3 to 6 cents, while hay, silage and grain costlS cents. 

 Many thousands of acres have been seeded down with these famous 

 mixtures and make a handsome yearly return with a minimum of 

 labor. But it is important that a pasture should be really perma- 

 nent, and furnish food from early spring to winter. Aluch land is 

 still seeded with Timothy and Clover, both short-lived plants, which 

 soon die out and are replaced with weeds. Our mixtures are the 

 result of years of careful experimentation and trial, and are formed 

 of long-Hved grasses that flourish at different seasons of the year, 

 thus maintaining an abundant and continuous bite from early spring 

 until frost. Pastures seeded with them arc always fresh and green 

 during hot, dry summers when Timothy and Clover are burned 



brown. The initial cost of seeding with these mixture is more, but 

 an acre of Henderson's Special Grass Seed Mixture for Permanent 

 Hay will yield double the quantity of hay, that an acre of Timothy 

 and Clover ■wiU, and more than that, the yield is maintained for 

 twenty years and more. There is no doubt that seeding with these 

 mixtures is a satisfactory and paying investment. 



Another great advantage in sowing grass seed mixtures is that full 

 use is made of the land. The various grasses being of different 

 habit, seek the food they require at unequal depths in the soil, some 

 being shallow- rooted in habit and some deep-rooted ; thus every 

 strata of soil is utilized, and a far greater number of plants grow and 

 flourish in a given space. We have been for years well aware of the 

 above facts, through our own exhaustive experiments and studies, and 

 no better meadows or pastures can be found than those laid down 

 with our various grass seed mixtures. They comprise the following:
