Results the second year from sowing Stokes' No. 3 Permanent Mowing Mixture 



Pasture Seeds and Mowing Mixtures 



The object to be attained is a continual growth of rich pasturage from spring to fall. Soil sown with a variety of different grasses that 

 are adapted to the soil, and which attain perfection at alternate months from April to October, will produce much larger and more satis- 

 factory crops, both for hay and pasturage, than only one or two kinds. If seed is sown in spring, it should be done early, while the land 

 is cool. I am alwaj's glad to give my customers the benefit of my experience, and shall take pleasure in advising you as to suitable grasses 

 for your soils and special conditions, if you will correspond with me in regard to it. 



These famous mixtures are well-balanced combinations of a number of native and acclimated foreign Grasses and Clovers, blended so 

 as to produce a permanent, dense and deep-rooted turf that will yield, year after year, the maximum quantity of hay, or afford, if desired, 

 a constant and abundant pasture. The yield of hay under favorable conditions averages 3 or 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 my No. i Mixture for Permanent Pastures and my No. 2 Mixture for Permanent Mowing, if properly 

 laid down, will maintain their valuable qualities twenty years or more, if they are occasionally top-dressed with manure and occasionally 

 sprinkled with Grass Seed.
