RELIABLE FARM SEEDS 



>HlLSBEIiPHRR\ 



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 renewed. Eventually, when the sod is plowed down, this rich 

 land is in condition to return heavy crops. Permanent Pasture Grass succeeds well after a root crop, such 

 as Potatoes, Beets, Mangels, or Turnips has been taken ofiF. The 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 Re- 

 cleaned 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 everywhere. Sow 50 lbs. to the acre. When ordering, kindly state whether 

 for heavy or light soil. Bu. (20 lbs.), $5.50; 100 lbs., S25.00.
