"As regards grass seed shipped to me last year I 

 must say it turned out splendidly and is now a good 

 heavy mat of grass. All you say of it is perfectly right. 

 "All seeds which I received at any time from you 

 have always been the admiration of everyone for their 

 good crop." 



H. M. K. WHITEWAY, 



St. Johns, Newfoundland. 



"I bought from you and sowed last August your 

 Permanent Grass Mixture and eaily this spring added 

 to it your Permanent Clover. I cut a very good crop 

 of hay off this field the middle of June. I find now that 

 there must have been quite a little Alfalfa seed in the 

 Permanent Clover as it has already grown up and 

 begun to flower." 



SHERLOCK SWANN, Baltimore, Md. 



"I have two very find meadows from your seeds sent 

 me last year for permanent pasture. They are very 

 productive and satisfactory." 



W. G. POLLOCK, Cleveland, Ohio. 



" My Manager is crazy over the Henderson Permanent 

 Pasture Grass Mixture. He says this year he cut three 

 (3) tons per acre the first cutting; 1% tons the second, 

 and will cut 2 tons the third. " 



EDWARD E. BARNEY, Homewood, Va. 



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. 

 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 permanent, and when once established 

 will last indefinitely, 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 farms of our customers. We are 

 in an unrivaled 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 offset the original cost. Sow not 

 less than 3 bushels per acre. Directions enclosed in every bag. PRICE, $2.75 per bushel of 

 14 lbs.; 50 bushels @ S2.65; 100 bushels @ $2.60. (State whether wanted for light, medium 

 or heavy soils.)
