CURRIE BROTHERS CO. FARM AND GARDEN ANNUAL 



49 



Curriers Superior Grass and Glover Mixtures 



For Spring or Fall Sowing— With or Without 

 a Cover Crop. 



A FEW OF THE ADVANTAGES WE CLAIM FOR OUR PERMANENT 

 Hit GRASS AND CLOVER MIXTURES. 



They are permanent, lasting for ten to twelve years without reseeding. They 

 mature two or three weeks earlier than Timothy, produce more Hay to the acre, 

 and on account of their earliness have a longer growing season in which to ma- 

 ture the second crop. 



After cutting, these mixed grasses recover quickly, and where no second crop 

 is wanted excellent pasturage can be had- within a week or two after haying 

 time. 



Your chance of missing a catch is reduced to a minimum, because you don't 

 "carry all your eggs in one basket," as in the case of Timothy or any one variety 

 of grass. One or other of the grasses may miss to catch, but total failure is 

 almost impossible. 



At first sight these Grass and Clover Mixtures look expensive to the average 

 farmer, (two or three times greater than Timothy), but he must bear in mind 

 that they also last three or four times longer — and one second preparation of the 

 ground to again sow Timothy which had failed would more than eat up the differ- 

 ence of cost between these Grass Mixtures and Timothy.

No. 11. For Renovating: Old Pastures and Meadows. 



Grass lands that have for years been giving good Hay 

 crops, without receiving a top dressing of barnyard or com- 

 mercial fertilizers, become bare and thin, frequently wanting 

 in the more nutritive grasses. These pastures will be greatly 

 improved by sowing this mixture at the rate of 10 pounds per 

 acre. Previous to sowing, harrow the sod with a sharp-tooth 

 harrow, then handsow broadcast, passing over the field with a 

 good heavy roller.

 second cutting has, in good years, been equal to an 

 ordinary hay crop, obtained from sowings of Tim- 

 othy. Five tons per acre have been cut from this 

 in one year.
