GRASSES FOR PERMANENT PASTURES AND 



MEADOWS. 



Containing only the most suitable Grasses, the proportionate (|uantily of each being regulated by soil, situation, 

 and purpose for which desired. The object to be attained is a constant, successive growth of rich pasturage from 

 spring till fall. It is a well-established fact that soils sown with a variety of different grasses which are adapted to 

 the soil, and which attain perfection at alternate months from April to September produce very muck larger and 

 more satisfactory crops, both for hay and pasturage, than when only one or two kinds of grasses or clovers are sown. 

 The results given by our mixtures have been most satisfactory, and have resulted in a very large increase in our trade 

 for same. We unhesitatingly recommend them for use on thj largest scale. Fall seeding is preferable, but spring 

 sowing will be successful if done early, when the land is cool and moist. In addition to the Grasses, we advise 

 sowing lo lbs. of Mixed Clover Seed per acre. Clovers in their young state are tender in our climate, and should 

 therefore be sown in spring, separately, being heavier in weight.
