HENDERSON'S GREEN MANURE SEED MIXTURE 



The Ideal Cover Crop • 



For the Home Garden For the Market Garden 



Since the horse has been relegated to the background, and the automo- 

 bile has taken its place it has become almost impossible for the home 

 gardener to obtain manure. We have made a combination consisting of 

 various rapid growing plants and legumes which \\iU completely fill the 

 deficiency of humus, and at the same time add nitrogen to the soil. 



Such a crop will also prevent washing out and leaching during winter. 

 The time for gardeners to plant is the early fall in order to secure germina- 

 tion before frost. The seeds may be broadcasted, or if the last of the crops 

 has not been removed, sown between the rows. In April or as soon as 

 the ground can be worked, spade under and mix it weU with the soil. 

 While the mixture will usually be sown in the fall, it may also be sown in 

 the spring or summer if the plot is not wanted for early crops. If sown 

 then, the plants should be allowed to attain a growth of about a foot in 

 height before being spaded under. 



Sow at the rate of 1 pound for 1,000 sqaure feet. 



1 lb., 50c. 2 lbs., 95c. 5 lbs. $2.35. 10 lbs. $4.25, postpaid. By express 

 or freight, 25 lbs. $9.50, SO lbs. $18.00, 100 lbs. $35.00.

In accordance with the universal custom of the seed trade Peter Hender- 

 son & Co. do not give a warranty on any of the Seed Bulbs, Roots, etc., 

 they send out; neither can they be responsible for the crops, owing to the 

 circumstance that after leaving their hands they have no control over the 

 care, planting or cultivation of the same.
