Grass and Clover Seed Mixtures for Hay and Pastures 



These Mixtures give the very best and most satisfactory'' 

 results to customers, and our trade in them is increasing rapidly. 

 The advantage of sowing grasses and clover seed in mixtures 

 has long been recognized and the practice is increasing to a 

 very remarkable extent throughout tlie South. We are the 

 pioneer seedsmen in Baltimore in putting up special mixtures 

 for different soils, and the results to our customers have been 

 exceedingly satisfactory, resulting in largely increased crops both 

 of hay and pasturage. We will take pleasure in advising our 

 customers as to suitable grasses for their soils and purposes. 



We have the following mixtures combined grasses suit- 

 able for the various soils and uses for which they are recom- 

 mended. Those for permanent pastures are composed of grasses 

 which succeed each other in growth, and give a succession from 



the first of Spring until late in Winter, while for those desired 

 more for cutting for hay have combined grasses which ripen 

 together. In all our mixtures we are introducing small 

 quantities of Alfalfa Clover with the idea of inoculating 

 the land with Alfalfa bacillus. Alfalfa revolutionizes farming, 

 but the bacillus must be established before the revolution can 

 occur. The different mixtures are prepared both as to quantity 

 and varieties as best adapted to the soils and situations for 

 which they are recommended. In all of our grass mixtures we 

 use the very best seeds, the quality and purity of our seeds 

 being our first consideration. The quantity handled enables 

 us to give our customers the benefit of a very low price, even 

 lower than if they purchased the seed separately.
