Buckbees Reliable Grass and Clover Seed Mixtures. 



FOR. MEADOWS AND PERMANENT PASTURES. 



All authorities agree that for PASTUEE and HAY best results are obtained from the use of grass seeds IN MIXTURE. The 

 reasons are obvious: First— A NUMBER OF SPECIES will insure a much DENSER GROWTH than the same number of seeds of 

 one or two tpecies, and prove Less exhausting to the soil, since they live to a great extent on different constituents. Second — Seasons 

 that affect some grasses adversely are FAVORABLE to other sorts. So that with mixtures failure is PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE, 

 provided, of course, the seed is good. We take great pains in selecting grass seeds, in order to secure the HIGHEST GERMINA" 

 TION, and our mixtures are based on a full appreciation of the requirements of different soils for which they are intended.
