SPECIAL GRASS MIXTURES FOR HAT AND PERMANENT PASTURES. 



FOR EITHER SPRING OR FALL SOWING. 



We recommend heavy sowing, especially if the soil is poor, so as to make a good sod the first season. Our experi- 

 ence has taught us that from three to four bushels is a fair average, although on very rich soils from two to three bushels 

 will be found sufficient. Where the addition of Clover is desired, a less quantity of the Grass Mixture should be used, 

 in which case we deem it advisable to sow the Grass Mixture and Clovers separately, on account of the difference in 

 the weight of the seeds. In regard to the quantity and varieties wanted for certain soil, if the parties desiring it should 

 write to us, giving a description of the soil and the purpose it is wanted for, we will gladly furnish particulars and prices 

 for the necessary mixture for it. 



The usual mixtures consist of the following grasses : Orchard Grass, Meadow Fox Tail, Sheep Fescue, Hard Fescue, 

 Sweet Vernal, Meadow Fescue, English Rye Grass, Italian Rye Grass, Bent Grass and Red Top, put in proper proportions. 

 We furnish for $2.00 per bushel of 14 pounds. 



To this mixture may be added 10 pounds oj Mixed Clovers to an acre, consisting of White, Red, Alsikc and Mam- 

 moth, which, put up in proper proportions, we furnish for $1.75. 



For Temporary Pasture one to two bushels will be sufficient hy adding Timothy to the above mixture, and reducing 

 the cost to $1.50 per bushel of 14 pounds. Six pounds Mixed Clovers for same, $1.00.
