"I Have Had Remarkable Success" 



■'Please quote me price on 720 bushels of 

 Henderson's Special Grass Mixture for Per- 

 manent Hay. As you know I have been using 

 this Special Mixture for several years and 

 have had remarkable success with it. My 

 intention is to have 120 acres in this grass 

 by next fall. I am going to sow this 120 

 bushels on 40 acres." 



H. L. BOW EN, 

 Glasgow, Ky. 



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 purpose 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 QUAL- 

 ITIES FOR TWENTY YEARS OR MORE, avoids the expense of the yearly plowing and 

 cultivating, necessary in rotation cropping. 



Hay yields very profitable annual returns at a minimum of labor and expense. 



The seed of these Permanent Grasses is more costly than Timothy, and more is 

 required per acre, but by reason of their heavy cropping qualities and permanency they soon 

 repay the extra cost and leave a handsome margin for the farmer, when the cost of plowing, 

 harrowing and re-seeding Timothy every three and four years is taken into consideration. 



. The grasses used in this Mixture recover quickly after the hay crop is cut, and yield 

 either a second crop or pasture in the greatest abundance during the summer and fall 

 months. Within a few days after cutting, their rich green appearance as compared with 

 Timothy is a desirable feature, especially in fields close to the house, as it gives a park- 

 lawn effect to the surroundings. Sow 3 bushels per acre. Directions in every hag. Price, 

 $2.75 per bushel of 14 lbs.; 50 bushels @ $2.65; 100 bushels &>. $2.60. (State whether 

 wanted for light, medium or heavy soils.) Mixed Permanent Clovers, 10 lbs., sufficient 

 to sow an acre. {See page 6.) Price. 40c. per lb.; $3.75, 10 lbs. ; $35.00, 100 lbs.
