A Pennsylvania Field of HENDERSON'S 
SPECIAL GRASS MIXTURE 
for HAY CROP 
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 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. 50c.; 10 lbs. $4.00; 25 Ibs. $8.75; 100 Ibs. $30.00; transportation 
paid. 
Henderson’s Special Grass Seed Mixture for 
WOODLAND PASTURES 
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, 1b. 60c.; 10 lbs. $5.00; 25 lbs. $11.25; 100 lbs. $40.00; transportation 
paid.

FOR PASTURE 
ao) 
Henderson’s Special Grass Seed Mixture for 
PERMANENT PASTURE 
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 at best is short-lived, as com- 
pared with the permanent Grasses used in our Special Mixtures. These 
Mixtures contain over a dozen of the best permanent Grasses, both Ameri- 
can-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. 
pices lb. 50c.; 10 lbs. $4.00; 25 lbs. $8.75; 100 Ibs. $30.00; transportation
