Our Special Grass Mixtures 



FOR HAY AND PERMANENT PASTURES. 



GRASSES FOR PERMANENT PASTURES AND MEADOWS. 



CONTAINING only the most suitable Grasses, the proportionate quantity of each being regulated by soil, situation, and purpose for -which desired. 

 The object to be attained is a constant, successive growth of rich pasturage from spring till fall. It 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, producevery 

 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.

RYE, FALL OR WINTER. 



The time for sowing is from the middle of August to the last 

 of September. Prepare the ground as for Wheat and sow broad- 

 cast, 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. Per bushel, $i. 50 ; 2 bushels, $2.50 ; 10 bushels. 



SAND VETCH, OR HAIRY VETCH. 



Vic 



ia vitiosa. 



Sand Vetch, or Hairy Vetch, is an annual, a native of west- 

 ern 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 I, 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 pui 

 or in midsummer for late autumn forage. Per lb., 15c: ico
