PERMANENT HAY 



Special Grass Seed Mixture 



Supplies a Good Crop of Hay 

 in Dry Seasons When Or- 

 dinary 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 carried on, yet there are 

 many other 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 

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



Price, 50c per lb.; 10 lbs. $4.00; $35.00 per 100 lbs.; transportation 

 paid.

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

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



Price, 60c per lb.; 10 lbs. $5.00; $45.00 per 100 lbs.; transportation^ 

 paid .

Tlioroa^hbreds and Hendersons Permanent P^stare Grasses 



This mixtiu-e 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 

 selecting such varieties as are 

 suited to the soil to be sown and 

 are likely to realize the object 

 in view. Therefore a de- 

 scription of the soil whether 

 Light, Medium or Heavy, 

 and climate, and if with or without a grain crop, should 

 accompany each order. (See illustration.') Sow 40 lbs. per acre. 



Price, 50c per lb.; 10 lbs. $4.00; $.35.00 per 100 lbs. ; transporta- 

 tion paid. 



David E. Howatt of the famous Rancncas Farm says "IROQUOIS 

 and all our fainous racers grew upon Henderson's Pasture Grasses." 



PERMANENT PASTURE 



Special Grass 

 Seed Mixture 



Supplies Continuous and Abundant Pasture for Twenty 



Years or More, Remaining Green and Succulent All Summer 



Long. 



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; $35.00 per 100 lbs.; transportation 

 paid.
