HENDERSONS SPECIAL GRASS MIXTURES

 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.
