HENDERSON'S SPECIAL GRASS SEED MIXTURE FOR 



Hay and Permanent Pasture 



It Produces Wonderful Hay Crops and Luxuriant Pasture Maintaining 

 Its Cropping Qualities Twenty Years or More 



This famous mixture has 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. It is a well- 

 balanced combination of a number of native and acclimated foreign 

 Grasses and Clovers, blended and improved upon during exhaustive 

 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 Per- 

 manent, 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. 

 We have received numerous letters of praise for these special Grass 

 mixtures from the users, and tributes to their merits have been pub- 

 lished in many of the agricultural journals. 



The Initial Cost is More in seeding with Henderson's Special Grass 

 Mixture, but the ultimate returns are much more profitable than those 

 from ordinary hay and pasture fields, and when the other advantages 

 are considered— including the permanency of a maintained yield — the 

 first expense will be found a paying and satisfactory investment. 



In preparing these mixtures the greatest care is exercised in select- 

 ing such varieties as are suited to the soil to be sown and are likely 

 to realize the object in view. Therefore a description of the soil 

 and climate, and the purpose for which sown, and if with or without 

 a grain crop, should accompany each order. Sow 3 bushels per acre 



Full directions for sowing enclosed in every bag. 



Price (purchaser paying carriage) . $2.75 per bu. of 14 lbs.; 50-bu. 

 lots, $2.65 per bu.; 100-bu. lots, $2.60 per bu. 



REGARDING CLOVERS 



Do not omit to sow Clovers with the Grasses, as they add to the 

 yield of hay and pasture, and by their ability to collect atmospheric 

 nitrogen and store it in the root nodules, assist the growth of the 

 Grasses and are of considerable benefit to subsequent crops. 



Mixed Permanent Clovers, on account of their greater weight, 

 should be sown separately, but at the same time as the Grasses. This 

 Mixed Clover comprises White, Mammoth Perennial or Cow Grass. 

 Alsike, etc. Sow 10 pounds per acre. Price, 55c. per lb.; 10 lbs., 

 $5.25; 100 lbs., $50.00. 



"/ sowed some of Henderson's Special Graf* Seed Mixtures two years ago, and 

 as it did so well, I wish to lay down another piece."

"Our twenty year old grass field is a wonder. It was up to tht alders 



last year, notwithstanding all the dry weather we had. "
