STOKES' PASTURE AIND MOWING MIXTURES 



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 three to four tons per acre at the first cutting. After the hay crop is cut the grass com- 

 mences to grow at once, recovering its verdure in a few days, and affords excellent pastt^rage, 

 even through dry, summer weather. Both our No. 1 Mixture for Permanent Pasture, and 

 our No. 2 Mixture for Permanent Mowing, if properly laid down, will maintain their valu- 

 able qualities for twenty years or more, if they are occasionally top-dressed with manure 

 and occasionally sprinkled with grass seed. Sow two to three bushels to the acre. 



Price of either mixture, $3.50 per bus., 10 bus. $32. Not prepaid.
