‘perineal FARM SEEDS 
As we issue a very full and complete Catalogue of Farm Seeds, we only give here a simple list and prices of the more impor- 
tant articles in this department. For full description of varieties, etc.. sce HENDERSON’S AMERICAN 
FARMERS’ MANUAL, which will be sent free on application. 
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 mixtur re far superior to Timothy, or ‘Timothy and Clover,’ or any one grass, costing but a little more, lusting much 
longer, and giving frequently more than double the yield.” 
Farm and sfome 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.” 
HENDERSON’S SPECIAL GRASS MIXTURE for PERMANENT PASTURE, consisting of the 
following varieties, Orchard aan 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 rec ommended in our * 
book, ‘* How the Farm Pay s,? »blended in proportions which, we have found from actual use, gives 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 this mixture, intended for either Mowing Lands or Pasture (but which on account of its greater weight should be sown separately), 
should be added 10 Ibs. of Mixed Clovers, comprising White, Mammoth Perennial or Cow Grass, Alsike, Trefoil, ete. -, but this must be 
sown in the Spring, as it is rather tender in this latitude if sown in the Fall. 
The quantity needed (10 Ibs.) of MIXED CLOVERS to sow an acre we will sell for $2.00.
