QRASS SEED MIXTURES 



The judicious selection of Grass ?eed, for the creation of a beautifulla^vn or grass plot, or a durable pastnre 

 or hay crop, requires a knowledge obtained only by an intimate study of the habits of varieties as respects 

 quality of herbage and vigor of constitution. It is not sufScient to select the one Grass indigenous to the soil 

 or climate, for it may not possess the many qualities desirable for the purpose desired, for hardiness and 

 permanence, ^f hich combination of qualities and character is best found in a mixture of sorts.
