JOHNSON 4 STOKES' HIGH=GRADE GRASS SEEDS 



Grass Mixtures for Permanent Pasture and Mowing Lands 



These famous mixtures are a well-balanced combination of a number of native and acclimated foreign grasses and 

 clovers, blended so as to produce a permanent, dense and deep rooting turf that will yield year after year the maximum 

 quantity of hay, and afterwards to afford, if desired, a constant and abundant pasture. Tlie yield of hay under favorable 

 conditions averages 3 to 4 tons per acre at the first cutting. After the hay crop is cut, the grass commences to grow at once, 

 recovering its verdure in a few days, and affords excellent pasturage even through dry summer weather- Both our No. 1 

 Mixture for Permanent Pasture and onr No. 2 Mixture for Permanent Mowing, if properly laid down, will maintain their 

 valuable qualities 20 years or more if they are occasionally top-dressed with manure and occasionally sprinkled with grifriS 

 seed. The mixtures contain, in suitable proportion, the following grasses : Orchard Grass, Sheep's Fescue, Meadow Fescue, 

 Hard Fescue, Canadian Blue, Sweet Vernal, Meadow Foxtail, Tall Meadow Oat, Red Top, Kentucky Blue, Italian Bye Grass,. 

 PerenniHl Rye Grass, Rhode Island Bent, Timothy, Wood Meadow, Rough-Stalked Meadow, Alsike Clover, White Clover, 

 Mammoth Clover.
