 better on it. — W. Watson.

Henderson's Special Grass Mixtures 



FOR HAY ANO PKRMATVKr<T PASTURE 



WILL LAST TWENTY YEARS WITHOUT RENEWAL, 

 Consisting of the following varieties : Orchard Grass, Meadow Foxtail, Sheep's Fescue, 

 Rhode Island or Creeping Bent, Hard Fescue, Sweet Scented Vernal (^Ti ue Perennial), 

 Meadow Fescue, English Rye Grass, Italian Rye Grass, Red Top, etc., as recommended in 

 our book, '*llow tlie Fsirni Psiys," blended in pioportions which, we have found from 

 actual use, give the most satisfactory results. 



On ordinary fertile soil 3 bu.shels of this mixture is sufilcient to seed an acre, but where the 

 land is poor a larger quantity will be necessary. Taking one soil with another a fair average 

 would be 3 bushels to the acre.

100 " 2.35 " 



To these mixtures, intended for either Mowing Lands or Pasture (but which, on account of 

 their greater weight should be sown separately), are to be added 10 lbs. of Mixed Clovers, com- 

 prising White, Mammoth Perennial or Cow Grass, Alsike, Trefoil, etc., but these should only 

 be sown in the spring, as they are rather tender in this latitude if sown in the fall. 



FULL DIRECTIONS FOR SOWING ENCLOSED IN EVERY BAG. 

 The quantity needed (10 lbs.) of MIXED CLOVERS to sow an acre we 



will sell for $2.00. 



OPIMIOtSIS OF- XME F=>RESS. 



Cotmtry Gentleman says: " Below the taller gi-as.ses was a tliick mat of finer kinds, and the close, rich turf 

 hid cverv particle of Hdil." . m. ^t, j ^i ■ 



American Agriculttirist savs: "Such mixtures are far sjupenor to Timothy, or Timothy and Clover, or 

 any one Krass, costins but a little liiore, lasting much iouRer, and giving frequently more than double the yield." 



" Tarm and Home says: "The enormous yield of nearly four and one-half tons of good hay per acre should 

 convince any one that moVe hay and better pasture can be grown with mi.\tures than with Tmiothy and Clover 

 alone as under the very same conditions the latter yielded less than a ton and a half per acre. 



How the Farm Pays says : " Far in advance not only of Timothy but of any other Grass we have thus far 

 in cultivation." 



At our Farm one of these Mixtures yielded (first cutting, 5.888 lbs. : second cutting, 4.320 lbs. per acre) 

 a total of 10,208 LBS. CURED HAY PER ACRE , while Timothy growing alongside under 

 same conditions yielded only one cutting of 2,400 lbs. per acre. 

 At first sight, S7.50 to $10.00 per acre appears to be a high price for the seeding of a pasture, 

 but bear in mind that it is a permanent pasture that we have in view, and nowhere can a per- 

 manent pasture be laid down properly for a less original outlay than that we name.
