EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN, FARM AND LAWN 
Grass JMixturc 
FOR 
Permanent Pasture 
Land which Is not requh-ed In the regular 
rotation of the farm, can be seeded with a 
permanent mixture to excellent advantage 
In ordering, state whether for liigh lands or 
low lands. Full seeding, 24 lbs. to the acre. 
Per lb., 40 cts. (by mail, SO 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 
raixtm-e. This pasture mixture, when once 
well established, will produce a good pas- 
ture, appetizmg to the animals, excellent in 
quality, abundant in growth, and perma^ 
manent in character.

leaves makes it an excellent bottom grass. Its nutritive value
