SPECIAL GRASS MIXTURE ''TnrHay 



Our famous mixture is becoming more generally used each season by progressive and successful farmers who desire an abundance of hay and 

 permanent pasturage. This mixture is made up of the Grasses best calculated to afford an abundant and nutritious food supply for stock, and its 

 formula is based upon years of successful experience. It thrives well on all soils and is not seriously affected by the different climatic conditions. 

 Will outyield timothy and will thrive on soils where the latter fails. Not only does it produce an abundance of hay but will give an excellent 

 pasturage after it has been cut. In many cases it will produce two crops a season, whereas from timothy alone you can cut but one. If your 

 fields are old and worn out, it will pay you to plow up and seed again, when you will soon be cutting heavy crops from Holmes' Permanent 

 Pasture Mixture. Sow 50 pounds to acre. In ordering, state whether for lighter heavy soil. Should you desire a Special Mixture for 

 renewing old pasture, etc., write us and we will give information. Lb. 25 cts., by mail, 35 cts.; bus. of 15 lbs. $2.25, bus. of 20 lbs. $3, 100 lbs. $13.
