Henderson's Green Manuring Seed 

 Mixture. A combination of various rapid 

 growing legumes which will add humus and 

 nitrogen to the soil. 



Such a crop will also prevent washing out 

 and leaching during winter. The time to plant 

 is the early fall in order to secure germination 

 before frost. The seeds may be broadcast, or 

 if the last of the crops has not been removed, 

 sown between the rows. In April or as soon as 

 the ground can be worked, spade under and 

 mix it well with the soil. Seed may also be 

 sown in the spring or summer if the plot is not 

 wanted for early crops. If sown then, the 

 plants should be allowed to attain a growth 

 of about a foot in height before being spaded 

 under. 



Sow at the rate of 1 lb. for 1,000 square feet. 



Price, 50c. per lb. ; 95c. per 2 lbs. ; $2.35 per 

 5 lbs.; $4.25 per 10 lbs. Postpaid. By express
