Henderson's Special Grass Mixture for Hay and Pasture 



Produces 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, lb.. 50c; 10 lbs., $4.50; 25 lbs., 510.00; 100 lbs., $.35.00; 

 transportation paid. 



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 diiferent habits and season 

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

 entire season. Timothy should never be used for paisture 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 Gra.sses, 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, lb., 50c; 10 lbs., $4.50; 25 lbs., $10.00; 100 lbs., $35.00; 

 transportation paid.

 their usual seeding of Red Clover and Timothy.

CLOVERS— HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR vlZbie^Vsi^rFUnu 



CRIMSON or Scarlet {Trijolium Incarnatum) 



Plowing under a crop of Scarlet Clover is equivalent to 20 tons of stable manure peir 

 acre and even if the Clover be harvested or pastured, the benefits derived from the nitro- 

 genous root formation will many times repay the cost of seed and labor. 



Sow at the rate of 15 lbs. of .seed per acre, either broadcast or drilled. 



Cover lightly with a harrow. In the latitude of New York City sow from July 15 to 

 September 15, and in the South as late as October. Time of flowering is June. 



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

 MEDIUM RED (TrifoHum Pratense) 



Domestic Grown 



Red Clover grows 1 to 2 feet in height and usually makes two crops a year, yielding 

 two to three tons of cured hay per acre. It is very valuable, adding humus and nitrogen 

 to the soil. In Northern States seed is usually sown in the spring; the earlier the better. 

 If grown alone, use 12 to 14 lbs. of seed per acre broadcasted, and cover not over hali 

 an inch deei). 



Price (domestic grown), lb.. 70c; 10 lbs., $6.00; 25 lbs., $14.00; 100 lbs., $50.00.

 bulk, valuable for reclaiming exhausted lands. Perennial. Time of flowering, July.

 WHITE {TrifoHum repens) 



Dutch or Honeysuckle 



A valuable addition to permanent pastures, as it furnishes plant food to the other 

 Grasses. In mixture for lawns White Clover is used to prevent washing out of soil during 

 heavy rains. Sow (if alone) 8 lbs. per acre.

 ture, collect atmospheric nitrogen and store it in the root nodules, assist the growth of the 

 Grasses and are of benefit to subsequent 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 lbs. per acre.
