FARQUHAR'S GRASSES FOR PERMANENT HAY CROPS AND PASTURES. 



PRICES SUBJECT TO MARKET FLUCTUATION. 

 These contain only the most suitable Grasses, the proportionate quantity 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 sprmg until fall. It is a well-established 

 fact that soil 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 much larger and more satisfactory crops, both for hay and -pasturage, than when only one or two 

 kinds of grasses or clovers are sown. The good results obtained from our Special Grass Seed mixtures are demonstrated by the constant- 

 ly mcreasing demand for them. Fall seeding is preferable, but spring sowing will be successful if done early, while the land is cool and 

 moist. In addition to the Grasses, we advise sowing 10 lbs. of Mixed Clover Seed per acre. Clover seed should be sown separately as 

 it is heavier than Grass seeds and settles at the bottom when mixed with them, and in consequence is hkely to be sown unevenly. Clovers 

 in their young state are tender in our climate, and should therefore be sown in spring. 



Pastures sown with these Permanent Mixtures should last indefinitely if given a frequent topdressing of manure or 

 fertilizer, maintaining their cropping qualities throughout the entire season.
