Country Gentleman says: ‘‘Below the taller grasses was a thick mat of finer kinds, and the close, rich turf hid every particle of soil.” 
American Agriculturist says: ‘Such mixtures are far superior to Timothy, or ‘Timothy and Clover,’ or any one grass, costing but a little more, lasting much 
Longer, and giving frequently more than double the yield.” 
Farm and Home says: ‘The enormous yield of nearly four and one-half tons of good hay per acre should convince any one that more hay and better pasture can 
be grown with mixtures than with Timothy 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: “Farin advance not only of Timothy but of any other Grass we have thus far in cultivation.” 
At our Farm one of these [lixtures yielded (first cutting, 5,888 Ibs.; second cutting, 4,320 Ibs. 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 Ibs. per acre.

My manager is enthusiastic G. M. Hones, 
over your mixture for Hay and 
Permanent Pasture. Ile claims 
this year he cut 3 tons per acre 
the first cutting, 134 tons the 
second, and will cut 2 tons the 
third. The field is a grand sight ;

Your Grass Seed produced the 
Zargest crop of hay I ever saw, 
and has yielded a most excellent 
pasture ever since, notwithstand-

Your Grass Mixture has done 
exceedingly well, especially in 
this year of drouth. It yielded 
about twice as much as Timothy, 
and cattle seemed to do better on 
it,—_W. WATSON.

The Special Grass Mixture 
has given us the very best of 
satisfaction; it produced the 
Jinest piece of grass I ever saw 
and has given us a large amount

ENDERSON'S - SPECIAL - GRASS +» MIXTURES 
POR HAY AND PERMANENT PASTURE, 
Consisting of the following varieties, Orchard Grass, Meadow Foxtail, Sheep’s Fescue, Rhode Island or Creeping Bent, Hard 
Fescue, Sweet Scented Vernal (True Perennial), Meadow Fescue, English Rye Grass, Italian Rye Grass, Red Top, etc., as 
recommended in our book, ** How the Farm Pays,” blended in proportions which, we have found from actual use, give the 
most satisfactory results. 
On ordinary fertile soil 3 bushels of this mixture is sufficient 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.

To these mixtures, intended for either Mowing Lands or Pasture (but which on account of miele greater weight should be sown 
separately), are to be added 10 lbs. of Mixed Clov ers, comprising White, Mammoth Perennial or Cow Grass, Alsike, Trefoil, ete., but 
these should only be sown in the spring, as they are rather tender in this latitude if sown in the fall. 
n 
The quantity needed (10 Ibs.) of MIXED CLOVERS to sow an acre we will sell for $2.00. 
At first sight $7.50 to $10.00 per acre appears to be a high price for the seeding of a pasture, but bear in mind 
06 that it is a permanent pasture that we have in view, and nowhere can a permanent pasture be laid down properly set 
for a less original outlay than that we name.
