G 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 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 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 the 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 10 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.

Sand Vetch, or Hairy Vetch. (Vicia villosa.) This annual is a native of Western Asia, and has been cultivated in this country and 
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 1, 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 isin 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, $5.00; bushel (60 lbs.), $18.00. 
Rye, Fall or Winter. The time for 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, $4.00; 10 bushels, $39.50.
