GRASSES FOR PERMANENT HAY CROPS AND PASTURES. 
These contain only the most suitable Grasses, the proportionate quantity of éach being regulated by soil, situation and purpose for 
which desired. The object to be attained is a constant, successive growth of rich pasturage from spring 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 jor hay and pasturage, than when only one or two 
kinds of grasses or clovers aresown. ‘The good results obtained from our Special Grass Seed mixtures are demonstrated by the constant- 
ly increasing 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, al in consequence is likely to be sown unevenly. 
Clovers in their young state are tender in our climate, and should therefore be sown in spring.
