Grass Seeds and Special Mixtures 



FOR MOWING AND PASTURE LANDS 



The object to be attained is a continual growth of rich pasturage from spring to fall. It has been proven b)- continued experiments 

 that soil sown with a variety of different grasses that are adapted to the soil, and whicli attain perfection at alternate months from April 

 to October, will produce much larger and more satisfactorj' crops, both for hay and pasturage, than when only one or two kinds of 

 grasses are sown. If seed is sown in spring, it should be done early, while the land is cool. 



I am always glad to give my customers the benefit of my experience, and will take pleasure in advising tliem as to suitable grasses for 

 their soils and special conditions, if they will correspond with me in regard to it.

Grass Mixtures for Permanent Pastures and Mowing Lands 



These famous mi.xtures are a well-balanced combination of a number of native and acclimated foreign gra.^ses 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, and afterward to 

 afford, if desired, a constant and abundant pasture. The 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 pas- 

 turage even through dry summer weather. Both our No. i Mixture for Permanent Pastures and our 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 occa- 

 sionally sprinkled with grass seed.
