Grass and Clover Seed Mixtures for Hay and Pastures 



These Mixtures give thevery best and most satisfactory results to customers, and our trade in them is increasing rapidly. The advantage of sowing 

 grasses and clover seed in mixtures has long been recognized and the practice is increasing to a very remarkable extent all through the South. We are the 

 oioneer seedsmen in Baltimore in putting up special mixtures for different soils, and the results to our customers have been exceedingly satisfactory, result- 

 ing in largely increased crops both of hay and pasturage. We\vill take pleasure in advising our customers as to suitable grasses for their soils and purposes. 



We Have in the Following Mixtures combined grasses suitable for the various soils and uses for which they are recommended. Those for permanent 

 pastures are composed of grasses which succeed each other in growth, and give a succession from the first of spring until late in winter, while for those de- 

 sired more for cutting for hay have combined grasses vrhich ripen together. The different mixtures are prepared both as to quantity and varieties as 

 best adapted to the soils and situations for which they are recommended. In all of our grass mixtures we use the very best seeds the quality and purity of 

 ;he seeds being our first consideration. The quantity handled enables us to give our customers the benefit of a very low price, even lower than if they pur- 

 ;hased the seed separately.

Grass Seeds 



We desire to call particular attention to the fact that Grass Seeds are sold in the trade by sample, and each sort is divided into three or four grades of 

 luality according to purity, germination and weight. The price of the best grade is often double that of the ordinary. Bolgiano's "Gold Brand" Grass and 

 :iover Seeds are in every case the VKRY HIGHE;sT GRADE. 



1123. Tall Meadow Oat Grass. Everg'reen Grass. Yielding twice as much hay as Timothy or Orchard Grass, early as Orchard Grass with more leaf 

 md affording better grazing, it is not strange that this grass is becoming so popular. It will keep green all winter and all summer; the drought of mid- 

 mmmers or the cold of winter does not injure it. It starts growing verv early in the Spring, can be cut twice for hay, will yield good grazing until late in 

 he Fall. It contains more flesh and muscle-forming material than Timothy, but it is not so fattening. For hay, it should be cut while in bloom. Tall 

 tfeadow Oat Grass is best adapted for rather light and dry loamy uplands, but gives excellent results on nearly all soils and better results than any other 

 rrass on light, medium soils. Sown alone use 1 to 3 bus. to the acre, either Spring or Fall. Sown in mixture, use 1 bus. Tall Meadow Oat Grass 1 bus. Or- 

 :hard Grass and 6 lbs. Red Clover. It gives the very best results when sown with Clover. By adding 4 lbs. of Red Top or Herd's Grass to the mixture the 

 grazing will be materially increased "Gold" Brand Fancy $1.75 bus. "Silver" Choice $1.65 bus. 



1114. Orchard Grass. One of the best and most reliable grasses for the Middle and Southern States, 

 either for hay or pasture. It succeeds well on nearly all soils, but does best on uplands, loamy or 

 moderately stiff soils. It starts early in the spring and continues well into winter. It is of quick growth, 

 and is relished by stock, especially when young and bears close grazing. It makes excellent hay, and 

 gives the very best results mixed and grown with Tall Meadow Oat Grass and Red Clover. It should be 

 cut when in blossom, as the hay is injured if the seed is allowed to ripen. It can be sown in the spring or 

 fall, either with grain or alone. Sow two bus. per acre if sown alone, or with Red Clover, one and one- 

 half bus. of Orchard Grass and seven pounds of Clover are the quantities usually sown. "Gold" Fancy 

 Bus. of 14 lbs. 12.65. "Silver" Choice $2.50 per bus. 



Supply Nitrogen to the Soil 

 by tlie Use of 



"FARMOGERM'^ 



High-Bred Nitrogen-Gathering 

 Bacteria 



Pea Vine on left had been treated with 



Farmogerm. Other planted 



without treatment. 



It is well known that Nitrogen is the most expensive of fertilizing- elements. It is also known that it 

 is the plant food in which most soils are deficient. We are pleased, therefore, to be able to offer our patrons 

 an improved and most reliable method of inoculating soil with Nitrogen-Bacteria. By moistening the seed 

 of any leguminous crop to be planted with Farmogerm, not only is the immediate crop benefitted by this 

 pure culture of high-bred nitrogen-gathering Bacteria, but the soil is enriched in nitrogen 

 which will be available for future crops of any kind for two or three .seasons. One of the important ad- 

 vantages which Farmogerm has over other and earlier preparations of this kind is the fact that it 

 needs no treatment or development before using. It comes in bottles, ready for use with a 

 little water, according to directions. 



Soil inoculation is a big subject and the possibilities of it are only partly appreciated by many. We 

 have no space for details here, but we hope our customers will write us for a free pamplet on the subject 

 which we will be pleased to send. It will pay handsomely to investigate before planting any of the 

 following crops: — 



Alfalfa, Alsike, Berseem, Crimson Clover, Red Clover, White Clover, Canadian Field Peas, Cow Peas, Soy 

 Beans, Velvet Beans, Vetch, Lupins, Peanuts, Garden Beans, Garden Peas, Sweet Peas and other legumens. 



When ordering be sure and state for what crop Farmogerm is wanted. 



We are prepared to supply Farmogerm for any one or all of these crops at the laboratory price of $2.00 

 per acre, 10% discount on 25 acres, 15% on 5" acres, 20% discount on 100 acre orders. 



Garden size, mixed culture good for Peas, Beans and Sweet Peas, at 50c a bottle. Also White Clover 

 for lawns. 



The U. S. Dept. of Agriculture says: " The pure culture method has con:"- to stay."
