FOR SPRING AND FALL SOWING 
Where a field is to be put down to grass for a number of years, 
a mixture of grasses that are more permanent than Timothy and 
Clover should be used, such as will produce good crops of hay and 
pasture for many years without reseeding. 
We prepare mixtures of grasses for a wide range of soils and 
conditions, and there is hardly any land so poor or climate so un- 
favorable that we cannot furnish a mixture for it that will yield 
one or more crops of hay every year. 
The first cost of seeding with these mixtures is generally more 
than Timothy and Clover, but the returns fully warrant the 
extra expense. 
Only the best recleaned grass seeds are used by us in these 
mixtures, and if the soil and conditions are described, the proper 
proportions will be used to produce satisfactory results.

roots form a strong, enduring turf which withstands hard

it to German. Prices: 1 lb., 20c; 10 lbs., $1.00; 100 Ibs. -........... $4.00

SORGHUM 
EARLY AMBER CANE—The earliest and best for the northern 
states, and the only kind that can be depended upon for syrup or 
sugar in this latitude. It is also better for fodder than any other, 
being sweeter, and contains more nutriment than southern varieties. 
The seed should not be sown until the ground is warm, so as to 
insure good germination. If sown broadcast for fodder, from 50 
to 60 lbs. of seed should be used to the acre. Half the quantity is 
sufficient when wanted for syrup. When sown in single, continuous 
rows so as to cultivate one way, 12 to 15 lbs. is enough. Per Ib.,
