HENDERSON'S Special Grass Mixture for Hay and Permanent Pasture. 
HIS famous mixture has seeded thousands of acres of meadow and pasture land 
for progressive farmers and stock raisers in various parts of the United States 
with most gratifying results. It is a well-balanced combination of a number 
of native and acclimated foreign grasses and clovers, blended and improved 
upon during exhaustive 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 of heat, drought andcold,a PERMANENT, dense and deep- 
rooting turf that would yield year after year the maximum quantity of hay, and 
afterwards to afford, if desired a constant and abundant pasturage. 
Mixed Permanent Clovers should be sown in addition to the above grass 
mixtures, but on account of greater weight the clover should be sown separately, 
and in co'd latitudes in the spring. This Mixed Clover comprises Whit, Mam- 
moth, Perennial or Cow Grass, Alsike, etc. Sow 10 pounds per acre. 
Price, 30c. a pound; 10 pounds, $2.75; 100 pounds, $25.00
