HENDERSON'S AGRICULTURAL SEEDS 



A Condensed List. For Complete List Send for Our Farmers' Manual, Published in February 



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. See illustration. 



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

 transportation paid.

PERMANENT HAY 



cial Grass Seed Mixture 



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. Sow 40 lbs. 

 per acre. 



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

 transportation paid. 



WOODLAND PASTURES Special Grass Seed Mixture 



It will make a closer and more even pasture than Orchard Grass 

 alone. Sow 40 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb., 60c; 10 lbs., $5.00; 25 lbs., $11.25; 100 lbs., $40.00; 

 transportation paid. 



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 carried on, yet there are 

 many Grasses which will yield more profitable 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 neces- 

 sary 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.

RENOVATING MIXTURE For Impoverished Grass Lands 



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



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

 transportation paid. 



MIXED PERMANENT CLOVERS— ASSIST THE GROWTH OF 



GRASS, on account of their greater weight, should be sown separately, 



but at the same time as the Grasses. See page 46. Sow 10 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb., 50c; 10 lbs., $4.50; 25 lbs., $10.00; 100 lbs., $35.00. 



ALFALFA, Grimm 



The Hardiest Alfalfa Known 



This strain of Alfalfa seed endures extremely low temperature, and 

 will bear more abuse in the way of pasturage than any other forage 

 plant. Grimm Alfalfa has larger crowns, and a more spreading root 

 system than the ordinary Alfalfa, and will yield from ten to fifteen 

 per cent, more, will start and thrive in moist locations, where the 

 ordinary sort was tried unsuccessfully. 



Sow broadcast 30 lbs. per acre, 25 lbs. if drilled. 



Price (Domestic grown), lb., l 70c; lOlbs., $6.00; 25 lbs., $14.00; 

 100 lbs., $50.00.

ALFALFA, Northern Grown 



Henderson's Recleaned 



Our strain of Alfalfa seed is grown in far Nbrthern regions where 

 plants have to endure extreme cold and still thrive in those high alti- 

 tudes. Our experience — -and that of our customers — -has shown that 

 such seed is undoubtedly the best for the Northern and Eastern States, 

 and that it excels all others in hardiness. Before offering this seed to 

 our customers for sale, it is thoroughly recleaned by the most modern 

 seed cleaning machinery in America. Sow in the Northern States dur- 

 ing June, Julv and August, 30 to 40 lbs. of seed per acre if broadcast, 

 25 to 30 lbs. if drilled. In the South sow in February or September. 



Price, (Domestic grown), lb., 60c; 10 lbs., $5.00; 25 lbs., $11.25; 

 100 lbs., $40.00.
