HENDERSON S————} 
SPECIAL GRASS MIXTURE 
FOR HAY AND PERMANENT PASTURE. 
It Produces Wonderful Hay Crops and Luxurtant Pastures Continuously 
for Twenty Years or More. 
HIS famous mixture has seeded thousands of acres of meadow and pasture land for pro- 
gressive farmers and stock raisers in various parts of the United States, with most grati- 
fying results. It is a well-balanced combination of a number of native and accli- 
mated 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 after- 
wards to afford, if desired, a constant and abundant pasturage. That we have been successful is 
attested by the numerous letters of praise for this special grass mixture that we have received from 
the users, and the tributes to its merits published in many of the agricultural journals. Space per- 
mits us to print extracts from but a few of these enconiums, and we refer you, for the complete de- 
scription of Henderson's Special Grass Mixture for Hay and Permanent Pastures, to our ‘‘ Farmer's 
Manual,” mailed on application. 
The Yield of Hay under favorable conditions averages 3 to 4 tons per acre at the first cutting, 
and larger yields are not unusual; then, if not pastured, the second crop is usually about one-half the 
quantity of the first. 
Pasturage. After the hay crop is cut the grass commences to grow at once, recovering its ver- 
dure in a few days’ time and affording a continuous pasturage even through dry summer weather, 
until winter sets in; or the field may be pastured from earliest spring and still be in prime condition 
for yielding hay or pasture the next season, and so on year after year. 
Permanency. Henderson's Special Grass Mixture for Hay and Permanent Pasture, if properly 
laid down, will maintain its heavy cropping qualities twenty years and more if occasionally top- 
dressed with manure or suitable commercial fertilizer, and it will steadily improve. 
Heat and Drought-Resisting. The various kinds of grasses composing this Special Mixture 
are fibrous, deep-rooting varieties that form a tough, matted sod, and are not susceptible to extremes 
of heat and drought, retaining their verdure even through dry, hot weather. 
Adapted to a Wide Range of Soils and Climate. This Special Mixture of grasses will thrive under 
a great variety of soil and climatic conditions, and in many instances give bountiful returns where 
Timothy can scarcely be grown. 
The Iritial Cost is more in seeding with Henderson's Special Grass Mixture, BUT the ultimate re- 
turns are very profitable when the advantages are considered—including the permanency of a main- 
tained yield. : 
The Seed Required. The poorer the soil the larger the quantity of seed required, 
soil with another, a fair average would be 3 bushels to the acre. 
sooner will a fine, close turf be obtained.

“ The growth is simply wonderful, I do not think there is 
any other grass to equal it for hay or pasture. I sowed about 
ten acres, jrom which I have cut what I consider the best hay 
ever made on my farms.” Ji. “SS LONG SPa:

“It’s the finest piece of grass anywhere about here. Ai 
old farmer told me last week 1t would cut 34 tons to the acre 
sure." JAMES M. RICHARDS, N.Y. 
“ The Grass Mixture I got of you has done extra well, espe- 
cially this year of drought. It stood the drought and yielded 
about twice as much as Timothy, and the cattle seem to do 
better on it.’’ WILLARD WATSON, Iowa. 
“ This is the third year and there was a heavy cro 
tt two weeks before Timothy was ready, and, much to my 
surprise, there was quite a good second crop in spite of the 
very dry season.” H. L. PARK, Mass. 
“We mowed a very good crop the 20th of June, and in two 
weeks had good pasture—the best in the township, and very 
good now, and much admired by the neighboring farmers. 
Our Timothy meadow is nearly all killed or dried up, no 
pasture. But the Special Grass Mixture is now very nice and 
green. E.W. BRUEN, N. J.

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-
