Superior Grass and Clover Mixtures. 



"^ FOR SPRING OR FALL SOWINQ-WITH OR WITHOUT A COVER CROP. 



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 accouat of their earUness have a longer 

 growing season in which .'to' mature the sec- 

 ond 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 time. 



Your chance of missing a catch is reduced 

 to a mininum, 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 to- 

 tal failure is almost impossible. 



A.t first sight these Grass and Clover Mix- 

 tures 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 Tim- 

 othy which had failed would more than eat 

 up the difierencein cost between these Grass 

 Mixtures and Timothy.

MEADOW FBSCUE, OR ENGLISH BLUE GRASS. 



When Grasses and Clovers are sent out for fall sowing, the Clovers will be sent separate and should not be sown 



till spring, owing to their liability to be winter killed.

No 9. FOR HAY ONLY. 



This is a permanent Meadow Mixture, composed of Grasses which will 

 yield the largest possible amount of Hay. The value of the aftergrowth or 

 second cutting has, in good year., been equal to an ordinary hay crop, ob- 

 tained from sowings of Timothy. Five tons per acre have been cut from this In

No. II. FOR RENOVATING OLD PASTURES and MEADOWS. 



Grass lands that have'for years been giving good Hay crops, without re- 

 ceiving a top dressing of barnyard or commercial fertilizers, become bare and 

 thla, frequently wanting in the mare nutritive grasses. These pastures will 

 be greatly 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.
