x 
HENDERSON’S SPECI 
Provides Nourishing Forage from Early Spring 
until VWVinter 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 season 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 mot 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 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 farmas of our customers. Weare in an unrival- 
led position to advise you on the subject and to supply suitable grass seeds for Permanent Pasture.

DRY SUMMER, BUT IT FILLED 
OUT A FINE CROP 
“T sowed 2 acres with your Permanent 
Pasture mixture and am delighted with the 
quality. It was a very dry summer to start 
with and if it had been timothy would have 
been obliged to reseed, but it filled out a fine 
sod; cut a second crop when timothy cuts 
none.”" 
W. E. HARRIS, East Douglass, Mass. 
ONCE TRIED, ALWAYS USED 
“T telegraphed you today to ship me enough 
Permanent Pasture Grass seed to sow 20 acres. 
About seven years ago I seeded a piece with 
your Pasture and Hay Mixture with wonder- 
ful results.” 
E. C. DUNCON, Clarkesville, Mo 
SEEDED 15 YEARS AGO— 
STILL LUXURIANT 
““Herewith is enclosed photograph taken in 
June, 1910, of Henderson's Permanent Pasture 
grass 15 years after seeding. (Photo shows 
luxuriant crop.)’’ JOHN B. MARCON, 
Woodside, Princeton, Mass. 
SPLENDID CROPS OF HAY 
'- FOR 8 YEARS 
“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.” 
E. L. NEWBOLD, Irvine, Pa.
