DUPUY & FERGUSON, 38 JACQUES CARTIER SQUARE, MONTREAL 
Grass M-ixture 
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 for high lands or 
low lands. Full seeding. 24 lbs. to the acre. 
Price on application. 
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 nuxture. when once 
well established, will produce a good pas- 
ture, appetizing to the animals, excellent in 
quality, abundant in growth, and perma- 
a eht in character.

almost any soil, but does best on heavy loam, clay or land of a 
somewhat damp character. It is Ughter in color and coarser 
in leaf than Perennial Rye, but is very much stronger growing. 
After cutting it is the quickest grass to start again, making a new 
growth more rapidly than any other sort with which we are 
acquainted. Very desirable for planting under trees. Lb.,

hardy perennial. 2 to 3 feet high, thriving best in cold, moist 
soils that are rich in humus and potash. In such soils it yields 
heavily, and is valuable in grass mixtures for permanent mea- 
dows either for mowing or grazing. Its great production of root- 
leaves makes it an exceUent bottom grass. Its nutritive value 
is said to be very high, It grows very well in the shade, and is 
highly recommended for shaded lawns in mixture with other 
grasses. Price on application.

acre. Per lb., $1.00 (by mail, $1.10). 
Tall Meadow Oat. (Avena elatior). — A very valuable pasture

Sudan Grass. — A new forage plant closely related to the 
cultivated sorghums: of value particularly in the dry Middle 
West sectioM as to drought resisting hay crop. In the Eastern 
and Northern sections should be tried as a substitute for millet, 
as the crop is larger and has better feeding value. Two cuttings 
can be obtained under favorable conditions, and growers report 
two big crops last season. The yields vary from 1 to 8 tons of 
cured hay per acre. Care should be exercised as with cane and 
other sorghums in turning cattle on to second growth. Sow 
Sudan Grass after soil has become warm, about corn-planting 
time. It may be drilled from one-half to one inch deep. When 
broadcast, sow 16 to 24 lbs. per acre; in rows, 6 lbs. per acre. 
Seed of high germination and free of weed seeds. Price: lb.,
