Henderson's Special Grass Mixture for Hay and Pasture 



Produce Wonderful Hay Crops and Luxuriant Pasture Lasting for 20 Years or More 



HAY AND PERMANENT PASTURE 



Special Grass Seed Mixture 



This mixture is made up of native and acclimated foreign Grasses 

 thoroughly blended, and improved upon during trials under widely 

 varied conditions, soils and localities for several years until practically 

 perfect, our aim being to produce, under the extremes of the American 

 climate, a permanent, dense and deep-rooting turf that would yield 

 year after year the maximum quantity of foliage. These Grasses are 

 of superior quality, inviting, sweet and nourishing, whether used as 

 hay or pasture. 



In preparing these Mixtures, the greatest care is exercised in select- 

 ing such varieties as are suited to the soil to be sown and are likely 

 to realize the object in view. Therefore, a description of the soil, 

 whether Light, Medium or Heavy, and climate, and if with or 

 without a grain crop, should accompany each order. (See illustra- 

 tion.) Sow 40 lbs. per acre. 



Price, 50c per lb.; 10 lbs., $4.00; 25 lbs., $8.75; $30.00 per 

 100 lbs.; transportation paid. 



PERMANENT HAY 



Special Grass Seed Mixture 



Supplies a Good Crop of Hay in Dry Seasons 

 When Ordinary Hayfields Are Burned Up 



Although the most widely cultivated Hay Grass in the United 

 States is Timothy, or a mixture of Timothy and Clover, and while 

 they answer the purposes admirably on farms where the soil is 

 suitable and where the usual three and four years' rotation is car- 

 ried on, yet there are many Grasses which will yield more profit- 

 able returns. 



An acre of Henderson's Special Grass Mixture for Permanent Hay 

 will yield double the quantity of an acre of Timothy and Clover, and 

 the farmer whose land is sown with a proper mixture of Permanent 

 Grasses, requiring only an occasional top-dressing of manure or 

 fertilizer to maintain heavy cropping qualities for twenty years or 

 more, avoids the expense of the yearly plowing, and cultivating 

 necessary in rotation cropping. Sow 40 lbs. per acre. 



Price, 50c per lb.; 10 lbs., $4.00; 25 lbs., $8.75; $30.00 per 100 

 lbs. ; transportation paid. 



WOODLAND PASTURES 



Special Grass Seed Mixture 



Is composed of a selection of Grasses which will thrive under 

 trees. Orchard Grass is one of the best Grasses for the purpose, but 

 this mixture is much superior, as it will make a closer and more even 

 pasture than Orchard Grass alone. Sow 40 lbs. per acre. 



Price, 55c per lb.; 10 lbs., $4.50; 25 lbs., $10.00; $35.00 per 

 100 lbs.; transportation paid. 



RENOVATING MIXTURE 



For Impoverished Grass Lands 



Sow the grass seed at rate of 40 lbs. to an acre. 



Price, 50c per lb.; 10 lbs., $4.00; 25 lbs., $8.75; $30.00 per 100 

 lbs.; transportation paid. 



Full directions for sowing enclosed in every bag. In ordering, slate whether for Light Soils, Heavy Soils or Medium. 



MIXED PERMANENT CLOVERS 



Do not omit to sow Clover with the Grasses, as they add to the yield of hay and pasture, and by their ability to collect atmospheric nitrogen 

 and store it in the root nodules, assist the growth of the Grasses and are of considerable benefit to subsequent crops. 



Mixed Permanent Clovers, on account of their greater weight, should, be sown separately, but at the same time as the Grasses. This 

 Mixed Clover comprises White, Mammoth Perennial or Cow Grass, Alsike, etc. Sow 10 lbs. per acre. 



Price, 50c per lb.; 10 lbs., $4.00; 25 lbs., $9.00; $30.00 per 100 lbs. 



PERMANENT PASTURE 



Special Grass Seed Mixture 



There is no more important part of a farm than a good pasture, and 

 that can only be obtained by the use of the proper Grasses, varieties 

 that have different root formations and different habits and season 

 of growth, in order to maintain a rich, close turf throughout 

 the entire season. Timothy should never be used for pasture 

 because it will not stand trampling, and soon runs out when heavily 

 pastured and at best is short-lived, as compared with the permanent 

 Grasses used in our Special Mixtures. These Mixtures contain over 

 a dozen of the best permanent Grasses, both American-grown and 

 imported. All are permanent, and when once established 'will last 

 indefinitely, if the fertility of the soil is kept up by occasional top- 

 dressing. Sow 40 lbs. per acre. 



Price, 50c per lb.; 10 lbs., $4.00; 25 lbs., $8.75; $30.00 per 

 100 lbs.; transportation paid.
