FARQUHAR’S SPECIAL GRASS MIXTURES. 
|" is a well-established fact that soils sown with a variety of different grasses which are adapted to the soil and which attain perfection at alternate 
months from April to September, produce very much larger and more satisfactory crops, both for hay and pasturage, than when only one or two kinds 
of grasses or clovers are sown. The results given by our mixtures have been most satisfactory, and have resulted in a very large increase in our 
trade for same. We unhesitatingly recommend them for use on the largest scale. Fall seeding is preferable, but spring sowing will be successful if done 
early, when the land is cool and moist. In addition to the Grasses, we advise sowing 10 lbs. of mixed Clover Seed per acre. Clovers in their young 
state are tender in our climate, and should therefore be sown in spring, separately, being heavier in weight.

10 Ibs. Mixed Clover Seed sufficient for one acre, $2.50. 
Sand Vetch, or Hairy Vetch. Jicia villosa. This annual is a native of Western Asia, and has been cultivated in this country and Europe 
for about fifty years. Its desirability as a forage crop has become established, and it is being cultivated each year on a more and more extensive scale. 
It should be sown at the rate of from four to six pecks per acre, broadcast or in drills, from August 15 to October 1, and with it as a supporting crop to 
raise the vines up off the ground there should be planted from two to four pecks of winter Wheat, Oats, or Rye. It should be cut while the Vetch is 
in full bloom. It may be planted in spring in order to supply an early green crop for soiling purposes, or in midsummer for late autumn forage. Per Ib., 
toc.; 100 lbs., $9.00. 
Rye, Fallor Winter. The time for sowing is from the middle of August to the last of September. Prepare the ground as for Wheat and 
sow broadcast, or with a drill at the rate of one and one-half bushels per acre. This has no equal as a crop to be used for late fall and early spring 
pasture, and is one of the best to turn under for green manure. (561bs. per bush.) Per bushel, $1.75.
