HENDERSON'S 



Special Grass Mixtures 



FOR HAY AND PERMANENT PASTURE, 



LAST TEN TO TWENTY YEARS WITHOUT RENEWAL. 



The amount of seed necessary to sow an acre largely depends upon the quality of the land ; the poorer the soil the larger 

 the quantity required. Taking one soil with another, and owing to the fact that the seeds we use are of higher quality and 

 better cleaned than ever, a fair average would be 3 bushels to the acre.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



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 

 pastxtre 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 Parm Fays says : " Far in advance not only of Timothy but of any other grass we have thus far in cultivation."
