Henderson's Special Crass Seed Mixture for 



Hay and Permanent Pasture 



Produces Wonderful Crops and Pastures, Maintaining its Cropping 

 Qualities Twenty Years or More 



This lnuxture is made up of native and acclimated foreign Grasses and 

 Clovers, 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 description 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 (purchaser paying transportation), 45c. per lb.; 

 10 lbs., $4.00; $35.00 per 100 lbs. 



David E. Howatt of the famous Rancocas Farm says "IROQUOIS and 

 all our famous racers grow up on Henderson's Pasture Grasses." 



Henderson's Special Grass Mixture for 

 Woodland Pastures 



Is composed of a selection of Grasses which will thrive under trees. 

 Orchard Grass is one of the best Grasses for the purpose, but this mix- 

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

 than Orchard Grass alone. Sow 40 lbs. per acre. 



Price (purchaser paying transportation), 45c. per lb.; 10 lbs., $4.00; 

 $35.00 per 100 lbs. 



Henderson's Renovating Mixture for 

 Impoverished Grass Lands 



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

 paying transportation), 45c. per lb.; 10 lbs., $4.00; $35.00 per 100 lbs. 



Henderson's Special 

 Grass Seed Mixture 



For Permanent Hay 



Supplies a Good Crop of Hay in Dry Seasons When Ordinary 

 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. 



Price (purchaser paying transportation), 45c. per lb.; 10 lbs., $4.00; 

 $35.00 per 100 lbs. 



For Permanent Pasture 



Henderson's Special 

 Grass 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. 



Price (purchaser paying transportation), 45c. ner lb.; 10 lbs., $4.00., 

 $35.00 per 100 lbs. 



Grimm Alfalfa Seed 



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. 



Price (Domestic grown), 80c. per lb.; $42.00 per bushel of 60 lbs.; 

 $65.00 per 100 lbs.

 applicants. 



Henderson's Recleaned 



Northern Grown Alfalfa Seed 



Our strain of Alfalfa seed is grown in far Northern 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 

 during June, July or 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. Henderson's Recleaned Seed (Domestic grown), 60c. per lb.; 

 $30.00 per bushel of 60 lbs. ; $45.00 per 100 lbs.
