H ENDERSON'S Special Grass Mixture for hay and Permanent Pasture 



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



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. 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 pub- 

 lished in many of the agricultural journals.

 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 bushtls to the acre. The 

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