 Fescue, Sweet Scented Vernal (True Perennial) Meadow Fescue, English Rye Grass, Italian Rye Grass, Red Top, etc. , 

 as recommended in our book, "How tlie Farm Pays," blended in proportions which, we have found from actual use, give the most 

 satisfactory results

 Mammoth Perennial or Cow Crass, Alsike, Trefoil, 

 etc., but these should only be sown in the spring, as 

 they are rather tender in this latitude if sown in the 

 fall.
