For Hay and Permanent Pasture. This famous mixture has seeded thousands of acres of meadow and pasture land for progres- sive 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 perma- nent, dense and deep-rooting turf that would yield year after year the maximum quantity of hay and afterwards to afford, if desired, a con- stant and abundant pasturage. Another im- portant essential being superior quality, invit- ing, sweet and nourishing, whether as hay or pasture. 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 permits us to print extracts from but a few of these encomiums on pages 4 and 5, to which we refer you, and for the complete description of Henderson's Special Grass Mix- ture for Hay and Permanent Pastures, see next page, 3.
