ORCHARD GRASS— (Dactylls 

 Glomerata) - Of exceptional 

 value for pei'inaiient pasture 

 and for bay crops. It is very 

 early, coming in ahead of all 

 other grasses, recovers 

 quickly after being cut and 

 endures close cropping. If 

 cut when it comes into 

 flower makes excellent hay, 

 but if allowed to stand, how- 

 ever, it beconjes hard and 

 pithy. On this account it 

 should never be sown with 

 Timothy. It thrives well on 

 all soils. (14 lbs. per bu.)

GRASS AND CLOVER SEED MIXTURES 



BUCKBEE'S RELIABLE BLEND. FOE MEADOWS AND PEEMANENT PASTITEES 

 All authorities agree that for PASTURE 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 species, and prove less exhausting to the soil, since they live to 

 a great e.xtent on different constituents. Second — Seasons that affect some grasses adversely are FAVOR- 

 ABLE 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 rabctures are based on a full appreciation of the requirements of different soils for which they 

 are intended.
