GRASS MIXTURES FOR HAY AND 

 PERMANENT PASTURES 



Our formulas contain the following varieties blended in propor- 

 tions which I have found to give the most satisfactory results on dif- 

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

 Fescue, 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.
