Good Pastures Are the Foundation of 

 Successful Farming 



A combination of a number of native and acclimated foreign 

 grasses and clovers, blended to produce, a permanent, dense and 

 deep rooting turf yielding yearly the maximum quantity of hay, 

 and afterwards affording a constant and abundant pasture. 

 After the hay is cut, the grass recovers its verdure in a few 

 days, and affords excellent pasturage even through dry summer 

 weather. Both mixtures will maintain their valuable qualities 

 20 years or more if they are occasionally top-dressed with ma- 

 nure and sprinkled with grass seed. Sow ~2\ bushels to the acre.
