HENDERSON’S TESTED FARM SEEDS 
Henderson's Renovating Mixture 
AFTER SOWING 
Say 
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 HENDERSON'S RENOVATING MIX- 
TURE, at the rate of one bushel per acre, and five pounds of mixed 
Mixed Clovers, 5 lbs. sufficient to renovate an acre.

HENDERSON'S SPECIAL 
GRASS MIXTURE FOR 
ae 
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- 
Gdence recommend this mixture. 
FOR IMPROVING OLD PASTURES 
: ie ; AS 
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 
are 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.

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 Ibs.; 50 bushel lots, $2.65 per
