 No. 10. 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 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 12 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. 



Price per acre, $1.50; 50 lb. lots, $6.25; 100 lb. lots, $12.00. 



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. 



In small lots by mail, add 8 cents per lb. for postage.
