HENDERSON'S SPECIAL GRASS SEED MIXTURE 



= FOR = 



Hay and Permanent Pasture 



it Produces NA/'onderful Hay Crops and Luxuriant Pasture 

 Maintaining Its Cropping Qualities Twenty Years or More 



This famous mixture has seeded thousands of acres of meadow 

 and pasture land for progressive farmers and stock raisers in various 

 parts of the United States, with most gratifying results. 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 Per- 

 manent, dense and deep-rooting turf that would yield year after 

 year the maximum quantity of forage. 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. Space permits us to print extracts 

 from but a few of these encomiums. 



In preparing these mixtures the greatest care is exercised in select- 

 ing 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 

 and climate, and the purpose'for which sown, and if with or without 

 a grain crop, should accompany each order. Sow 3 bushels per acre. 



Full directions for sowing enclosed in every bag. 



Price (purchaser paying carriage), $2.75 per bu. of 14 lbs.; SO-bu. 

 lots, $2.65 per bu.; 100-bu. lots, $2.60 per bu. 



The Initial Cost is More in seeding with Henderson's 

 Special Grass Mixture, but the ultim.ate returns are much 

 more profitable than those from ordinary hay and pasture 

 fields, and when the other advantages are considered — in- 

 cluding the permanency of a maintained yield — the first 

 expense will be found a paying and satisfactory investment. 



Regarding 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 atmos- 

 pheric 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 pounds per acre. Price, 40C. per 

 lb.; 10 lbs., $3.75; 100 lbs., $35.00.
