_.HENDERSON’S SPECIAL GRASS MIXTURES.^-*- 
For Hay and TEMPORARY Pasture. 
For those who prefer TEMPORARY mowing or grass lands to permanent pasture, we prepare mixtures of clovers and grasses for 
what is known as “ Alternate Husbandry or Rotation Cropping.” These mixtures are adapted to the rotation of crop for which they are 
prepared and in such proportions as will produce the largest quantity of nutritious food for the duration of time specified. 
The grasses best adapted for this class of pasture are the following: English Rye Grass, Italian Rye Grass, Tall Oat Grass, Meadow 
Fescue and Orchard Grass, Red Clover, Alsike, Trefoil and Timothy, blended in their proper proportions for the tune required. Wo 
recommend the following quantities per acre. The grasses may bo sown in spring or fall, but the clovers should bo sown in spring, or 
in this latitude they are apt to bo winter-killed, being rather tender in the young state. 
For One Year: 1 bush. Mixed Grasses, $2.50. 10 lbs. Mixed Clovers, $2.00. Total cost per acre, $4 50 .) Quotations 
For Two Years: 2 bush. Mixed Grasses, $5,00. 10 lbs, Mixed Clovers, $2.00. Total cost per acre, $7.00, >• for large
