WEEBER & DON'S 
SPECIAL MIXTURE OF 
FOR 
MEATIOW FESCUE. 
HABD FESCUE. 
The selections of seeds in our mixture, being entirely composed 
of the true permanent species, are somewhat more expensive than 
mixtures of seeds which contain a considerable proportion of 
Rye-grass and Timothy, but it is admitted that the laying down 
of land to grass with such mixtures as it was customary to use a 
few years ago has often proved very unsatisfactory, and even 
when most successful the success has only been attained by the 
application of expensive manures and after years of waiting ; 
whereas selections of such seeds as are given in this mixture will 
produce profitable pastures the first year after they have been laid 
down, and will increase in profitable!: ess year by year if ordinary 
care be given them. 
This special mixture may be sown either in the spring or falL 
using three toushels of §eed to one acre, with an additional 
ten pounds of mixed clover, sown in the spring. 
Special mixture, per bush. (14 lbs.), $2.50. Mixed 
clover, per lb., 20 cts. Special quotations for large quantities.
