GRASS MIXTURES FOR HAY AND 

 PERMANENT PASTURE 



Our formulas contain the following varieties blended in proportions 

 which I have found to give the most satisfactory results on different 

 soils and situations : Orchard Grass Meadow Foxtail, Sheep's Fes- 

 cue, Rhode Island or Creeping Bent, Hard Fescue, Sweet-scented 

 Vernal (True Perennial), Meadow Fescue, English Rye Grass, 

 Italian Rye Grass, Red Top, Timothy and Red Alsike Clover. On 

 ordinary fertile soil three bushels of this mixture are sufficient to 

 seed an acre, but where the land is poor a larger quantity will be 

 necessary.
