 ceptional value for perma-

GRASS AND CLOVER SEED MIXTURES 



BUCKBEE'S RELLABLE BLEND. FOR MEADOWS AND PERMANENT PASTURES 



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 exb^iusting 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 GERMINATION, and our 

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