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 reeleaned grass seeds are used by us in these 

 mixtures, and if the soil and conditions are described, the proper 

 proportions will be ased to produce satisfactory results.

BENT, CREEPING (Agrostis Species or South German. 

 Mixed Bent) — This is undoubtedly one of the finest 

 grasses for putting greens. The distinctive feature of 

 this species is its compact, creeping rooting stems. It is 

 of rapid growth and spreading habit : the stoloniferous 

 roots form a strong, enduring turf which withstands hard 

 usage. Does well on all soils, particularly on light, 

 moist land. Per lb., $1.50; 10 lbs $14.50

 ings) — This variety of Red Fescue imported from New 

 Zealand is now recognized as one of the leading grasses 

 for putting greens and fairways. It is adapted to prac- 

 tically all conditions. Growing exceedingly well in sandy 

 soil. Making a fine compact turf of a dark green color. Price: 

 per lb., 75c; per bushel of 20 lbs., $14.25; per 100 lbs $67.50

MILLET 



JAPANESE MILLET— Is entirely distinct from other millets. It 

 is a remarkable yielder, growing from 6 to 9 feet high, producing 

 enormous crops of excellent fodder, much relished by all kinds of 

 stock. When cured it makes splendid hay. It grows best on moist 

 ground. If sown broadcast, sow 15 to 20 lbs. of seed to the acre, 

 or in drills 12 to 18 inches apart, using 10 to 12 lbs. per acre. 

 Per lb., 15c (by mail, 20c per lb.); 10 lbs., $1.25; 100 lbs., $8.00 



COMMON MILLET— A little earlier in season than German Millet. 

 Leaves are rather broad and not as stiff as German, and seed heads 

 are smaller. Seed is white instead of yellow. Some farmers prefer 

 it to German. Prices: 1 lb., 15c; 10 lbs., $1.00; 100 lbs $7.00 



(Grain bags extra) 



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 lb., 

 15c; 10 lbs., 75c; 100 lbs $6.00
