HEflDERSOK'S SPEGIfllt GRASS jHIXTURES 



FOR HAY AND TEMPORARY PASTURE. 



For those who prefer TEMPORARY mowing or grass lands to permanent pasture, we prepare mixtures of clovers and grasses for 

 what is known as " Alternate Husbandry or Kotation Cropping." These mixtures are adapted to the rotation of crop for which they are 

 prepared and in such proportions as will produce the largest quantity of nutritious food for the duration of time specified. 



The grasses best adapted for this class of pasture are the following : English Eye Grass, Italian Eye Grass, Tall Oat Grass, Meadow 

 Fescue and Orchard Grass, Eed Clover, Alsike, Trefoil and Timothy, blended in their proper proportions for the time required. We 

 recommend the following quantities per acre. The grasses maybe sown in spring or fall, but the clovers should be sown in spring, for 

 in this latitude they are apt to be winter-killed, being rather tender in the young state. 



For One Year : 1 bush. Mixed Grasses, $2.50. 10 lbs. Mixed Clovers, $1.75. Total cost per acre, $4.25. 

 For Two Years : 2 bush. Mixed Grasses, $5.00. 10 lbs. Mixed Clovers, $1.75. Total cost per acre, $6.75. 

 For 3 to 4 Years : 3 bush. Mixed Grasses, $7.50. 10 lbs. Mixed Clovers, $1.75. Total cost per acre, $9.25.
