Currie's Superior Grass and Clover Mixtures 



FOR FALL SOWING. 



The following tables are composed of the different varieties of grass and clovers suitable to pro- 

 duce big hay crops in our Northwestern States, and are the result of years of actual experiment. 



Note.— We do not offer cheap Grass Mixtures ; only one grade, and that is the best that money 

 can procure. Do not be misled. The quantity per acre usually makes the price look large or small

No. IL For Renovating Old Pastures and Meado^vs. 



Grass lands that have for years been giving good hay crops, without receiving a top 

 (ire-sing of barnyard or commercial fertilizers, become bare and thin, frequently wanting in the 

 more nutritive grasses. These pastures will be greatly improved by sowing this mixture at the rate 

 of twelve pounds per acre. Previous to sowing, harrow the sod with a sharp-tooth harrow, then 

 hand-sow broadcast, passing over the field with a good heaw roller. 



Sow 10 lbs. per acre. Price per acre, $1.30; 50 lb. lots, $6.00; 100 lb. lots, $11.50. 



When Grasses and Clovers are sent out for fall sowing, the Clovers will be sent separate 

 and should not be sown till spring, owing to their liability to be winter killed. 



In small lots by mail, add 8 cents per lb. for postage .
