FARM SEEDS 



As we issue a very fall and complete Catalogue of Farm Seeds, we only give here a simple list and prices of the more important 

 articles in this department. Tor full description of varieties, etc., see HENDERSON'S AMERICAN 

 FARMERS' MANUAL, which will be sent free on application. 



Country Gentleman Bays : " Below the taller grasses was a thick mat of finer kinds, and the close, rich turf hid every particle of soil." 



American Agriculturist says : " Such mixtures are far superior to Timothy, or ' Timothy and Clover,' or any one grass, costing but a little more, lasting much 



longer, and giving frequently more than double the yield " . 



Farm and Home says : " The enormous yield of nearly four and one-half tons of good hay per acre should convince any one that more hay and better pasture can 



be grown with mixtures than with Timothy and Clover alone, as under the very same conditions the latter yielded less than a ton and a half per acre." 



HENDERSON'S SPECIAL GRASS MIXTURES 



FOR IIJSlY AJYZ> PJBRJMCANJBNT JPA.STZJRM, 



Consisting of the following varieties, Orchard Grass, Meadow Foxtail, Sheep's Fescue, Rhode Island or Creeping Bent, Hard 

 Fescue, Sweet Scented Vernal (True Perennial), Meadow Fescue, English Rye Grass, Italian Rye Grass, Red Top, etc., as 

 recommended in our book, ** How the Farm Pays," blended in proportions which, we have found from actual use, give the 

 most satisfactory results. 



On ordinary fertile soil 3 bushels of this mixture is sufficient to seed an acre, but where the land is poor a larger quantity will be 

 necessary. Taking one soil with another a fair average would be 3 bushels to the acre. 



For Hay and Permanent Pasture for Light soils \ 



" " " " Medium soils ) $2.50 per bushel of 14 lbs. 



" " " " Heavy soils ( 20 bushel lots, $2.40 per bushel. 



" Orchards and Shady Places / 50 " 2.30 " 



" Hay Only. Specially recommended where a large hay crop is desired ] 100 2.25 



" Pasture Only. A mixture which will stand close cropping without injury. . . / 

 To these mixtures, intended for either Mowing Lands or Pasture (but which on account of their greater weight should be sown 

 separately), are to be added 10 lbs. of Mixed Clovers, comprising White, Mammoth Perennial or Cow Grass, Alsike, Trefoil, etc., but these 

 should only be sown in the spring, as they are rather tender in this latitude if sown in the fall. 



The quantity needed (10 lbs.) of MIXED CLOVERS to sow an acre we will sell for $2.00. 



At first sight $7.50 to $10.00 per acre appears to be a high price for the seeding of a pasture, but bear in mind that it is a 

 permanent pasture that we have in view, and nowhere can a permanent pasture be laid down properly for a less original 

 outTaVTh"an that we name.
