orass M lxture 
FOR 
Permanent Pasture 
Land which is not required in the regular 
rotation of the farm, can be seeded with a 
permanent mixture to excellent advantage. 
In ordering state whether tor high lands or 
low lands. Full seeding, 24 lbs. to the acre. 
Per lb., 35 cts. (by mail 50 cts). 
This pasture mixture can be sown in the 
early spring, either with or without a grain 
crop. If a nurse crop is used, about one 
bushel of barley or of wheat per acre is 
recommended. As a rule, oats do not form 
a good nurse crop for a permanent pasture 
mixture. This pasture mixture, when once 
well established, will produce a good pasture, 
appetizing to the animals, excellent in quality 
abundant in growth, and permanent in char- 
acter.
