30 PETEK HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK. — WHOLESALE CATALOGUE— FARM SEEDS. 



Produces Wonderful Hay Crops and Luxuriant Pasture. Lasting for Twenty Years or flore. 



THIS famous mixture has seeded thousands of acres of mead ow 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 hav; and 

 afterwards 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 -ournals 



Full description and testimonials from users in our "FARMER'S MANUAL" 

 mailed on application. 



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

 Taking one soil with another a fair average would be 3 bushels to the icre The 

 thicker the seecs are sown the sooner will a fine, close turf be obtained.
