Grass Seed Mixtures. 
FOR MEADOWS AND PASTURE. 
For nearly a hundred years our house has made a specialty of grasses. We were probably the tirst to intro- 
duce to this country, for commercial distribution, the many valuable natural and cultivated foreign species that 
now take such an important part in out' agricultural economy. The formation of permanent pastures and mead- 
ows has for many years been a subject of careful study with us, and the following formula; for seeding grass- 
lands have received universal recognition. 
It is a well-ascertained fact, fully recognized by all successful agriculturists, that a thicker and more pro- 
longed growth is produced by a mixture of many sorts of grasses than by only one or two, and that a combination 
of grasses may thrive on a piece of ground on which any one of them would succeed indifferently. 
For every different kind and condition of soil there is a large number of grasses, either indigenous or intro- 
duced, which are especially suitable. Some sorts do best on high ground and in dry weather; others prefer 
plenty of moisture. Some mature so early, and others so late, that from the beginning of spring until winter 
sets in, there is no time when one species or another is not at its best. The quantities given are the mini- 
mum, and may often he increased to adrantar/e.
