 Fescue, Sweet Scented Vernal (True Perennial) Meadow Fescue, English Rye Grass, Italian Rye Grass, Red Top, etc . 

 as recommended in our book, "How tlie Farm Hays," blended in proportions which, we have found from actual use, give the most 

 satisfactory results 



On ordinary fertile soil 3 bushels of this mixture is sufficient to seed an acre, but where the land is poor a larger quantity will be recessar* 

 Taking oiie soil with another a fair average would 

 be 3 bushels to the acre. 



For Light soils. . ^1

To these mixtures, intended for either Mowing 

 Lands or Pastures (but which on account of their 

 greater weight should be sown separately) are to be 

 added P> lbs. of Mixed Clovers, comprising White, 

 Mammoth I'erennial or Cow Crass, Alsike, Trefoil, 

 etc., but these should only be sown in the spring, as 

 they are rather tender in this latitude if sown in the 

 fall. 



The quantity needed (10 lbs.) of 

 MIXED CLOVERS to sow an acre 

 we will sell for $1.80.
