The amount of seed necessary to sow an acre largely depends upon the quality of the land ; the poorer the soil the 

 larger the quantity required. Taking one soil with another, and owing to the fact that the seeds we use are of higher 

 quality and better cleaned than ever, a fair average would be 3 bushels tO the acre

 side under the same conditions, yielded only one cutting of 2,400 lbs. per acre.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



Country Gentleman says: " Below the taller grasses was a thick mat of finer kinds, and the close, rich turf hid every particle of soil." 



Americari Agriculturist »ays : '• Such mixtures are far superior to Timothy, or ' Timothy and Clover,' or any one grass, costing but a little 

 more, lasting much longer, and giving frequently more than double the yield." 



Farm and Home says : " The enormous yield of nearly four and one-half tons of good hay per acre should convince any one that more hay and 

 better pasture can be grown with mixtures than with Timothy and Clover alone, as under the very same conditions the latter yielded less than a ton and b 

 half per acre. 



How the Farm Pays says : " Far in advance not only of Timothy but of any other Crass we have thus far in cultivation." 



In the Eastern States, farmers cannot profitably grow wheat, com and oats, as they can be purchased more cheaply 

 than they can be produced. Sow a large part of your farm to Permanent Hay and Pasture Fields and
