H ENDERSON'S Special Grass Mixture for Hay and Permanent Pasture. 



THIS 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 and cold, 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 cold latitudes in the spring. This Mixed Clover comprises White, Mam- 

 moth, Perennial or Cow Grass, Alsike, etc. Sow 10 pounds per acre. 

 PrjVf, 30c. a pound; 10 pounds, $2.75; 100 pounds, $25 . 00.

The Seed Required. — The poorer the soil the larger the quantity of seed re- 

 quired. Taking one soil with another a fair average would be 3 bushels to the 

 acre. The thicker the seeds are sown the sooner will be a fine, close turf be 

 obtained.
