There is no more important part of a farm than a good pasture, and that can only be obtained by the use of the proper grasses, 
varieties that have different root formations and different habits and seasons of growth, in order to maintain a rich, close turf 
throughout the entire season. Timothy should never be used for pasture, because it will zo/ stand trampling, and soon runs out 
when heavily pastured and at best is short lived, as compared with the permanent grasses used in our Special Mixtures. These Mix- 
tures contain over a dozen of the best permanent grasses, both American grown and imported. All are permanent and when once 
established will last indefinitely, if the fertility of the soil is kept up by occasional top-dressing. Owing to the different habits of 
growth the grasses grow closer together and form a rich, close turf, covering the soil completely and forming a protection to the roots 
during hot, dry weather, thereby enabling these grasses to maintain a rich green appearance when Timothy and 
other grasses are burned up. ‘The thick turf also prevents animals poaching through and destroying the pasture. 
We have for years studied the subject of pastures and their formation with exhaustive tests on our own trial farms where we have 
thad growing separately and in different mixtures all the grasses of which seed can be procured in commercial quantities. (See 
opinions of the Agricultural Press on opposite page.) ‘These trials have been broadly studied and the results watched with critical 
interest on the farms of our customers. We are in an unrivalled position to advise you on the subject and to supply suitable grass seeds 
for Hay and Permanent Pasture.
