HENDERSON’S TESTED FARM SEEDS 
HENDERSON'S( trass and Clover Seeds 
FOR FALL SOWING 
ON PAGES 6 TO 13 INCLUSIVE WE OFFER A SELECTED LIST OF GRASS, AND GRASS AND CLOVER SEEDS, ETC., FOR FALL SOWING 
When Grass seeds are sown in the fall, the best time being the latter part of August or the early part of September, the benefits of a 
warm soil, copious rainfall, and lessening temperature are to be had. These conditions insure a better germination, a higher percentage 
cf the survival of the Grasses which start into growth, and a stronger and healthier growth. Because of these conditions the crop of 
weeds which always appears in freshly cultivated land will always be lighter than in the spring. 
Our stocks are re-selected each year, thoroughly recleaned by the most improved seed-cleaning machinery in America, and we therefore 
invite you to favor us with your orders for the season’s supply.

Henderson's Special Grass Seed Mixtures 
FULLY DESCRIBED ON PAGES 7 TO 10 INCLUSIVE 
It has been fully demonstrated by the careful 
trials conducted by the Agricultural Experiment 
Stations in various parts of the country that 
good pasturage, and good hay crops can be 
best secured by sowing Grass seeds in mixtures. 
Pastures seeded naturally are always found to 
contain many varieties of Grasses growing and 
flourishing side by side without detriment to 
each other, and attaining their maximum of 
growth at different periods of the vear. It is 
to this notable characteristic that such pastures 
furnish continually an abundant bite, when 
meadows and pastures composed of but a few 
varieties are brown and bare. 
extent, 
These famous mixtures have seeded thousands of acres of meadow 
and pasture land for progressive farmers and stock raisers in various 
parts of the United States, with most gratifying results. They are 
well-balanced combinations of a number of native and acclimated 
foreign Grasses and Clovers, blended and improved upon during ex- 
haustive trials under widely varied conditions, soils and localities for 
several years, until practically perfect, our aim being to produce, 
under the extremes of the American climate of heat, drought and 
cold, a PERMANENT, dense and deep-rooting turf that would yield 
year after year the maximum quantity of forage. These Grasses are 
of superior quality, inviting, sweet and nourishing, whether used as 
hay or pasture. That we have been successful is attested by the 
numerous letters of praise for these Special Grass Mixtures that we 
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 
Another great advantage in sowing Grass seed 
mixtures is that full use is made of the land. 
The various Grasses being of different habit, 
seek the food they require at unequal depths in 
the soil, some being shallow-rooted in habit and 
some deep-rooted; thus every strata-of soil is 
utilized, and a far greater number of plants grow 
and flourish in a given space. We have been 
for years well aware of the above facts, through 
our own exhaustive experiments and studies, 
and no better meadows or pastures can be found 
than those laid down with our various Grass seed 
mixtures. 
have received from the users, and the tributes to their merits pub- 
lished in many of the agricultural journals. Space permits us to 
print extracts from but a few of these encomiums. 
A Description of Soil and Locality should be given when ordering. 
In the preparation of these mixtures for permanent pasture, the 
greatest care is exercised in selecting such varieties as are suited to 
the soil to be sown and are likely to realize the object in view. To 
facilitate this, a description of the soil and climate, and the purpose 
for which sown, and if with or without a grain crop, should accom- 
pany each order.
