CURRIE BROTHERS' HORTICULTURAL GUIDE. 



CURRIES SUPERIOR GRASS AND CLOVER MIXTURES. 



When looking at the cost of Permanent Pasture Hixtures, bear in mind that you are laying a field down to trass 



that won't be disturbed in years. This in itself is a saving of labor, time and money. 

 When Grasses and Clovers are sent out for fall sowing, the Clovers will be sent separate and should not be sown 



till spring, owing to their liability to be winter killed.

No. II. For Renovating Old Pastures and Meadows. 



Grass lands that have for years been giving good Hay crops, without re- 

 ceiving a top dressing of barnyard or commercial 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.
