HENDERSON'S SPECIAL 
GRASS MIXTURE for PERMANENT PASTURE 
SUPPLIES CONTINUOUS AND ABUNDANT PASTURAGE 
FOR 20 YEARS AND MORE 
From Early Spring Until Winter Snows 
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. Timothy should never be used for pasture, because it will not 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 perma- 
nent, and when once established will last indefinitely, if the fertilitv 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 pro- 
tection 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 mix-

tures all the grasses of which seed can be procured in commercial quantities. 
We are in an unrivalled 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 off- 
set the original cost. Sow not less than 3 bushels per acre. Directions enclosed in every bag. 
PRICE, $2.50 per bushel; 20 bushels @ $2.45; 50 bushels @ $2.40; 100 bushels @ $2.35. 
(State whether wanted for light, medium or heavy soils.) 
Mixed Permanent Clovers, i0 lbs. to sow an acre, $2.50. Should be sown in spring, (see page7).
