HENDERSON'S SPECIAL GRASS R1IXTURES for Hay and Permanent Pastures. 



Consisting of the following varieties, Orchard Grass, Meadow Foxtail, Sheep's Fescue, Rhode Island or Creeping Bent, Hard 

 Fescue, Sweet Scented Vernal (True Perennial) Meaddw Fescue, English Rye Grass, Italian Rye Grass, Red Top, etc., 

 as recommended in our book, "How tlie Farm Pay9," blended in proportions which, wo have found from actual use, give the most 

 satisfactory results 



On ordinary fertile soil 3 bushels of this mixture 

 is sufficient to seed an acre, but where the land is 

 poor a larger quautity will be necessary. Taking 

 one soil with another a fair average would be 3 

 bushels to the acre.

 To these mixtures, intended for either Mowing

 greater weight should be grown separately) arc to be 

 added 1" lbs. of Mixed Clovers, comprising White, 

 Mammoth Perennial or Cow brass, Alsike, Trefoil, 

 etc., but these should only be sown in the spring, as 

 they are rather tender in this latitude if sown in the 

 fall.
