HENDERSON'S SPECIAL GRASS SEED MIXTURE 



FOR 



HAY AND PERMANENT PASTURE 



It Produces Wonderful Hay Crops and Luxuriant Pasture 

 Maintaining Its Cropping Qualities Twenty Years or More 



This famous mixture has seeded thousands of acres of meadow and pasture land for progressive farmers and stock raisers in various parts of the United States, 

 with most gratifying results. It produces wonderful Hay crops and luxuriant pasture, maintaining its cropping qualities twenty years or more. It is a well-balanced 

 combination of a number of native and acclimated foreign Grasses and Clovers, blended and improved upon during exhaustive 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 of heat, drought and cold, 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. That we have been successful is attested by the numerous letters of praise for these special Grass mixtures that 

 we have received from the users, and the tributes to their merits published in many of the agricultural journals. 



In preparing these mixtures the greatest care is exercised in selecting 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 and climate, and the purpose for which sown, and if with or without a grain crop, should accompany each order. Sow 

 40 lbs. per acre. If wanted for Light Soils, order No. 6672 ; for Medium Soils, 6674, or for Heavy Soils, 6676. (State which in ordering.)

REGARDING CLOVERS 



Do not omit to sow Clovers 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 subseqaent crops. 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 pounds per acre.
