For Spring or Fall Sowing—With or Without 
a Cover Crop. 
A FEW OF THE ADVANTAGES WE CLAIM FOR OUR PERMANENT 
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 
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 
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. Wor 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-

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. ‘
