Henderson's Renovating Mixture 



FOPv IMPROVING OLD PASTURES 



Grass lands, in consequence of being'constantly mown or pastured 

 without being fertilized or manured, frequently become impoverished 

 and deficient in the more valuable and nutritious grasses, and in 

 time become unprofitable. It is frequently unnecessary to plow up 

 such land unless it be full of weeds. The turf should be well har- 

 rowed with a sharp-tooth harrow, and, if possible, top-dressed with 

 soil and well-rotted stable manure, which should be well harrowed 

 in, and then sown with HENDERSONS RENOVATING MIX- 

 TURE, at the rate of one bushel per acre, and five pounds of mixed 



clovers. This mixture is composed of those sorts that are best 

 suited for sowing on old pastures or meadows, and it will speedily 

 improve the quality and increase the produce. March and April 

 arc the best months for sowing, choosing an interval between rains 

 if possible, though, if inconvenient to sow then, very satisfactory 

 results can be obtained by fall sowing. After sowing, the ground 

 should be lightly harrowed and afterward well rolled. 



Price, $2.75 per bushel of 14 lbs.; 50 bushel lots, $2.65 per bushel. 

 Mixed Clovers, 5 lbs. sufficient to renovate an acre, $1.50. 



HENDERSON'S SPECIAL GRASS MIXTURE FOR 



Woodland Pastures 



^persons Speci Al 

 • Grass Mixture 



FOR WOOD/.AND PASTURES 



Unless there is a superabundance of nitrogen in the soil and a 

 consequent excessive wood growth, in which case it is desirable to 

 sow the land with grasses, it is now customary to sow orchards with 

 cover crops, such as Cow Peas, Clover, etc. These are plowed under 

 and the orchard kept in constant cultivation. But where it is 

 desired to sow the orchard with grass, or for woodland pastures, 

 even when the shade is comparatively dense, we can with all con- 

 fidence recommend this mixture. 



It is composed of a selection of grasses which from exhaustive 

 experiments we have found will thrive under trees. Orchard Grass 

 is, of course, one of the best grasses for the purpose, but this mixture 

 is much superior, as it will make a closer and more even pasture 

 than Orchard Grass alone. 



Price, $2.75 per bushel of 14 lbs.; 50 bushel lots, $2.65 per 

 bushel.
