HAY AND PERMANENT PASTURE 
: Special Grass Seed Mixture 
Produces Wonderful Hay Crops and Pasture, Main- 
taining Its Cropping Qualities Twenty Years or More 
It has been fully demonstrated by the careful trials con- § 
ducted by the Agricultural Experiment Stations in various 
parts of the country that good pasturage, and good hay crops 
can be best secured by sowing Grass seeds in mixtures. Pas- 
tures seeded naturally are always found to contain many 
varieties of Grasses growing and flourishing side by side with- 
out detriment to each other, and attaining their maximum 
of growth at different periods of the year. It is to this notable 
characteristic that such pastures furnish continually an 
abundant bite, when meadows and pastures composed of but 
a few varieties are brown and bare. ; 
This mixture is made up of native and acclimated foreign | 
Grasses thoroughly blended, and improved upon during trials 
under widely varied conditions, soils and localities for several J 
years until practically perfect, our aim being to produce, 
under the extremes of the American climate, a permanent, 
dense and deep-rooting turf that would yield year after year 
the maximum quantity of foliage. These Grasses are of su- 
perior quality, inviting, sweet and nourishing, whether used 
as hay or pasture. 
In preparing these Mixtures, the greatest care is exercised 
in selecting such varieties as are suited to the soi! to be sown 
and are likely to realize the object in view. ore, a

PERMANENT PASTURE 
Special Grass Seed Mixture 
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 main- 
tain a rich, close turf throughout the entire season. 
Timothy alone should never be used for pasture because it 
will moi stand trampling, and soon runs out when heavily 
pastured and at best is short-lived, as compared with the 
permanent Grasses used in “our Special Mixtures. These 
Mixtures contain over a dozen of the best permanent Grasses, 
both American-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 ibs. per acre. See illustration. 
Price, Ib., 50c; 10 Ibs., $4.00; 25 Ibs., $8.75; 100 Ibs.,

PERMANENT HAY 
Special Grass Seed Mixture 
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 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, 50c per Ib.; 10 lbs., $4.00; 25. Ibs., $8.75; 100 Ibs., $30.00; trans- 
portation paid.
