GRASS AND CLOVER SEED MIXTURES 



All authorities agree that for PASTURE and HAY best results are obtained from the use of grass seed 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 species, and prove less ex- 

 hausting to tne soil, since they live to a great extent on different constituents. Second — Seasons that afifect some grasses adversely are FAVORABLE 

 to other sorts. So that with mixtures failure is PRACTICALLY lAlPOSSIBLE, provided, of course, the seed is good. We take great pains in selecting 

 grass seeds, in order to secure the HIGHEST GERMINATION, and our mixtures are based on a full appreciation of the requirements of different soils 

 for which thev are intended. BUCKBEE'S RELIABLE "Full of Life" BLENDS— FOR MEADOWS AND PERMANENT PASTURES.

Buckbee's Extra Special Lawn Fertilizer 



Economical, Wonderfully Beneficial. Makes the Lawn Strong and Keeps it Healthy 



Especially prepared to furnish nutriment for all varieties of Lawn Grass, which being voracious 

 for nutriment will not thrive and hold its dark green color and velvety appearance unless it be sup- 

 plied with the best fertilizer. The lack of a good fertihzer is the reason there are so many poor, 

 rusty-looking unsightly lawns. It is better than stable manure, because it acts quicker and is free 

 from any waste. Use this Lawn Fertilizer if you would have a beautiful and sturdy growth of grass. 

 This fertilizer, used in connection with any one of my special Grass Seed Mixtures, will enable you 

 to produce a perfect lawn. If you have a lawn in fair condition, rake oft dead leaves and grass in 

 the early Spring. Scatter some of the Fertilizer broadcast over the surface, using in connection a 

 little of Buckbee's Famous Lawn Seed on the thin spots, and the result will well repa.y you. The 

 grass can be kept luxuriant throughout the season with a little care. Never make the first applica- 

 tion of Fertilizer except in the early Spring. Price postpaid, lb. 20c. By express or freight, not 

 prepaid, 5 lbs. 30c.; 10 lbs. 50c.; 25 "lbs. $1.00; 50 lbs. $1.50; 100 lbs. $2.75.

 to other fertilizers. If your object is to grow maximum crops you must in some way furnish the plants with Nitrogen. No matter what manure 

 or fertilizer is used, the Nitrogen must be converted into Nitrate before the plants can use it. — HOW TO USE NITRATE OF SODA. Remove 

 the lumps before using and break them up which can be done by pounding. Use as a top-dressing at the rate of 100 lbs. per acre on the follow-
