FARQUHAR'S SPECIAL GRASS MIXTURES. 



IT is a well-established fact that soils sown with a variety of different grasses which aio auc^pbcu m iiic suil and which attain perfection at alternate 

 months from April to September, produce very much larger and more satisfactory crops, both for hay and pasturage, than when onty one or two 

 kinds of grasses or clovers are sown. The results given by our mixtures have been most satisfacton>% and have resulted in a very large increase 

 in our trade for same. We unhesitatingly recommend them for use on the largest scale. FaU 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 sow-ing 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.

been cultivated in this country and 



Sand Vetch, or Hairy Vetch. Vicia villosa. This annual is a native of Western Asia, and lias 

 Europe for about fifty years. Its desirability as a forage crop has become established, and it is being cultivated each year on a more and more 

 extensive scale. It should be sown at the rate of from four to six pecks per acre, broadcast or in drills, from August 15 to October i, and with it 

 as a supporting crop to raise the vines up off the ground there should be planted from two to four pecks of winter Wheat, Oats, or Rye. It should 

 be cut while the Vetch is in full bloom. It may be planted in spring in order to supply an early green crop for soiling purposes, or in midsummer 

 for late autumn forage. Peck, $3.75; bushel (60 lbs.), S14.00. 



Rye, Fall or Winter. The time tor sowing is from the middle of August to the last of September. Prepare the ground as for Wheat and 

 sow broadcast, or with a drill at the rate of one and one-half bushels per acre. This has no equal as a crop to be used for late fall and early spring 

 pasture, and is one of the best to turn under for green manure. (56 lbs. per bush.) Per bushel, $1.75; 'o bushels, $16.50.
