A crop worthy of out Pasture Mixtures 



Pasture Grasses 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. We are always glad to give our customers the benefit of our experience, and shall take pleasure in advising you as to suitable grasses 

 for your soils and special conditions, if you will correspond with us 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 three to four 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 our No. 1 Mixture for Permanent Pastures and our No. 2 Mixture for Permanent Mowing, if properly 

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

 ally sprinkled with grass seed.

SWEET, MEDICINAL AND POT-HERBS FROM SEED 



Herbs are frequently a very profitable crop to grow for market. Some are grown for the seed, such as Dill, Caraway and Coriander, and 

 these are used liberally, particularly by Germans in seasoning their food. The other varieties, Sage, Winter Savory and Thyme are planted 

 so as to cut and dry the leaves and stems, and are sold in quantity to butchers and packing-houses who use them in flavoring sausages, 

 potted meats, etc. For the small garden, however, there should be a small planting of Herbs for use on the home table. Also the small 

 gardener has a demand for bouquets of pot-herbs. The Herbs can be mixed with tops of celery, leek, parsnip, carrots, small onions and 

 parsley. This demand is quite constant and will yield a considerable return. To preserve the leaves, the stems should be cut from the 

 plant just before the blossom appears, leaving a few joints at the base to sprout into fresh growth. They are then tied up in small bunches 

 and hung up to dry. All Herbs are offered this year subject to war risk.
