 ned by the Agricultural Experiment Stations in various

 be best secured b3' sowing Grass seeds in mixtures. Pas- 

 s seeded naturally are always found to contain many 

 eties of Grasses growing and flourishing side by side with- 

 detriment to each other, and attaining their maximum 

 Irowth at different periods of the year. It is to this notable 

 acteristic that .such pastures furnish continually an

a rich, close turf throughout the entire season.

PERMANENT HAY gE$jg*S 



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 

 Grasses which will yield more profitable returns. 



An acre of Henderson's Special Grass Mixture for Permanent May 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., 80c; 10 lbs., $7.50; 25 lbs., $17.50; 50 lbs., $30.00; 

 100 lbs., $55.00; transportation paid.

 An excellent ground cover for orchards. Sow 40 lbs. per acre.

MIXED PERMANENT CLOVERS 



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

 hay and pasture, collect atmospheric nitrogen and store it in the root nodules, 

 assist the growth of the Grasses and are of benefit to subsequent crops. Per- 

 manent 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 Red — Medium. Wild White, Ladino, Alsike, etc. Sow 10 lbs. 

 per acre.
