 varied conditions, soils and localities for several years, until practically perfect, our aim being to produce, under the extremes of the American climate of hea 

 drought and cold, a Permanent dense and deep-rooting turf that would yield year after year the m.axinium quantity of foliage. These Grasses are_ of superio 

 quaUty, in\'iting sweet and nourishing, whether used as hay or pasture. That we have been successful is attested by the numerous letters of praise for thesi 

 special Grass mixtures that we have received from the users, and the tributes to their merits published in many of the agricultural journals. 



In preparing these mixtures the greatest care is exerc ised in selectiiig svxh varieties as are suited to the soil to be sown and are likely to realize the object ii 

 view. Therefore a description of the soil and climate, and the purpose for Vvhich sown, and if with or without a grain crop, should accompany each order. Sous

REGARDING CLOVERS 



Do not omit to sow Clovers with the Grasses, as they add to the yield ol 

 hay and pasture, and by their ability to collect atmospheric nitrogen and store 

 it in the root nodules, assist the growth of the Grasses and are of considera'Dle 

 benefit to subsequent crops. Permanent Clovers, on account of their greatei 

 weight, should be sown separately but at the same time as the Grasses. This 

 Mixed Clover comprises White, Mammoth Perennial or Cow Grass, Alsike, 

 etc.. Sow 10 pounds per acre.
