Superior Crass and Clover Mixtures. 



FOR SPRING OR FALL SOWING— WITH OR WITHOUT A COVER CROP. 



A Few of the Advantages We Claim for Our Permanent Grass and; Clover Mixtures. 



MEADOW FESCUE, OP. ENGLISH BLUE GRASS. 



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 account 

 of their earliness have a longer growing season ;in 

 which to mature the second 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 mini- 

 mum, 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 total failure is almost impossible. 



At first sight these Grass and Clover Mixtures look 

 expeneive 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 prepar- 

 ation of the ground to again sow Timothy 

 which had failed would more than eat up the 

 difference in cost between these Grass Mix- 

 tures and Timothy. 



■' .MEADOW FOXTAIL. 



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. 11. 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 thin, frequently wanting in the more 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.
