HENDERSON'S SPECIAL GKASS MIXTURE FOR 



Permanent Pasture 



SUPPLIES CONTINUOUS AND ABUNDANT PASTURAGE FOR 20 YEARS AND MORE 



Provides Nourishing Forage from Early Spring until Winter Snows, 

 and is Green and Succulent All Summer Long, 

 When Ordinary Grazing Lands are Burned Brown 



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 seasons of growth, in order to maintain a rich, close turf throughout the entire season. Timo- 

 thy should never be used for pasture, because it will not stand trampling, and soon runs out w-hen 

 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 indefinite- 

 ly, if the fertility of the soil is kept up by occasional top-dressing. Owing to the different habits 

 of growth, the grasses grow closer together and form a rich, close turf, covering the soil completely 

 and forming a protection to the roots during hot, dry weather, thereby enabling these grasses to 

 maintain a rich green appearance when Timothy and other grasses are burned up. The thick 

 turf also prevents animals poaching through and destroying the pasture. 



We have for years studied the subject of pastures and their formation with exhaustive tests on 

 our own trial farms, where we have had growing separately and in different mixtures all the grasses 

 of which seed can be procured in commercial quantities. These trials have been broadly studied 

 and the results watched with critical interest on the farms of our customers. We are in an unrival- 

 led position to advise you on the subject and to supply suitable grass seeds for Permanent Pasture. 

 While it costs a little more to seed an acre with this special mixture, yet results are so superior 

 and permanent that they more than offset the original cost. Sow not less than 3 bushels per 

 acre. Directions enclosed in every bag. PRICE, $2.75 per bushel; of 14 lbs. 50 bushels @ 

 $2.65; 100 bushels @ $2.60. (State whether wanted for light, medium or heavy soils.) 



Mixed Permanent Clovers, 10 lbs. sufficient to sow an acre, $3.00. 

 (See page 2.) 



Should be sown in spring.

"I wish to say that about 8 years ago I 

 bought a large quantity of your Mixed Per- 

 manent Grass Seed, which has given us most 

 splendid crops of hay every year since."

The grasses found in mixtures draw 

 their food from the soil at various depths 



having different root formations. 



Thus the land is utilized to the fullest 

 extent.
