DREER'S PERMANENT PASTURE GRASS MIXTURE 



An acreage of good grass land is an asset to any farm and a necessity where stock of any kind is raised. Land, too, is properly 

 rested and fertility wonderfully renewed, so that eventually, when sod is plowed down, this rich land is in condition to return heavy crops, 

 and another acreage can be prepared for grass. Permanent Pasture Grass succeeds well after a root crop, such as Potatoes, Beets, or 

 Mangels or Turnips has been taken off. Land should be fall plowed and left rough over winter and prepared in spring, making the seed 

 bed as fine as possible by repeated harrowing. After seed is sown a heavy rolling is necessary, as grass requires a firm seed bed. This 

 special mixture of Recleaned Grass and Clover Seeds, is composed of Perennial varieties, which insure at all times an abundant and 

 nutritious food supply for all kinds of stock. It yields a heavy crop of Hay each year and supplies rich pasture all the year round. We 

 ship out large quantities of this mixture and it has always given most satisfactory results. Sow 50 lbs. to the acre, and when ordering, 

 kindly state whether for heavy or light soil. Bu. (20 lbs.), $5.50; 100 lbs., $25.00.
