Grass Seeds and Clovers, j

 grades in quality. All Grass Seeds are subject to change in price at any time, and large buyers will find it to 

 their advantage to write us for special quotations.

Special Grass Mixtures for Hay ^ Permanent Pastures. 



FOR EITHER SPRING OR FALL SOWING. 



We recommend heavy sowing, especially if the soil is poor, so as to make a good sod the first season. Our 

 experience has taught us that from three to four bushels is a fair average, although on very rich soils from two 

 to three bushels will be found sufficient. Where the addition of Clover is desired, a less quantity of the Grass 

 Mixture should be used, in which case we deem it advisable to sow the Grass Mixture and Clovers separately, on 

 account of the difference in the weight of the seeds. In regard to the quantity and varieties wanted for certain 

 soil, if the parties desiring it should write to us, giving a description of the soil and the purpose it is wanted for, 

 we will gladly furnish particulars and prices for the necessary mixture for it. 



The usual mixtures consist of the following grasses: Orchard Grass, Meadow Fox Tail, Sheep Fescue. 

 Hard Fescue, Sweet Vernal, Meadow Fescue, English Rye Grass, Italian Rye Grass, Bent Grass and Red 

 Top, put in proper proportions. We furnish for $2.00 per bushel of 14 pounds. 



To this mixture maybe added 10 pounds of Mixed Clovers to an acre, consisting of White, Red, Alsike 

 and Mammoth, which, put up in proper proportions, we furnish for $1.75. 



For Temporary" Pasture one to two bushels will be sufficient by adding Timothy to the above mixture. 

 and reducing the cost to $1.50 per bushel of 14 pounds. Six pounds Mixed Clovers for same, $1.00.
