wy orass nixtore ” PERMANENT PASTURE 
HERE 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 not stand trampling, and 
soon runs out when heavily pastured and at best is short-lived, as compared with the perma- 
nent grasses used in our Special Mixtures. These Mixtures contain over a dozen of the best perma- 
nent 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 had growing separately and in different mixtures all the grasses 
of which seed can be procured in commercial quantities. 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 Permanent Pasture. 
While it costs a little more to seed an acre with this special mixture, yet results are so superior and 
permanent that they more than offset the original cost. Sow not less than 3 bushels per acre.
