Timothy Seed. Our " Farmers Choice " brand is very popular, and justly so. 
It is as near perfect as to purity and germination as it is possible to secure. Timothy 
shares with Clover great prominence as a hay producing grass. It is not expensive 
and should find uses on every farm where the production of hay is an object.

Economical Mixture. This is a combination that is a very proper one to sow 
for either hay, pasture or soiling purposes, and is sold so cheaply that it will appeal to 
all who wish to save something in their grass seed bills. The proportion is approxi- 
mately one-third Timothy, one-sixth Alsike and one-half Medium Red Clover. The 
reason that this mixture can be sold cheaper than the separate grasses is as follows : 
Economical Mixture is made from lots of Clover and Timothy (Mixed) and lots of 
Alsike and Timothy (Mixed) that were produced and harvested in this mixed condi- 
tion. The market for such seed being narrow the farmer who grows it sells it for 
much less than he could get if the gra.sses were separate. On account of the difference 
in size and weight of these seeds they can not be cleaned quite so closely as unmixed 
seed, but the mixture easily complies with the seed laws, contains nothing offensive, 
and is a very economical and useful combination to use either in the Spring or Fall 
for the production of hay or pasture. 56 lbs. per bu. Prices — See Latest Price Li.st. 
Permanent Hay and Pasture Mixtures 
The right grasses — from 12 to 1() in numlier — in the right proportions are used to 
make up the.se mixtures. The highe.st authorities have been consulted and our practical 
experience followed. Varieties are used that will make a succession of gra.s.ses to be 
cut or pastured the first season. If the seed is sown carefully, under reasonably good 
conditions, pa.sturing may begin early in the summer and last until late fall. If the 
.sowing is for hay, several cuttings may be made during the first .season. A large pro- 
portion of the gra.sses u.sed are of a permanent nature and a field once firmly estab- 
lished will la.st for many years. The.se mixtures are recommended for either Spring 
or Fall sowing. For Spring, sow as early as the ground can be fitted, 30 to o5 lbs. per 
acre. Two mixtures are made — one for well drained upland sowing, which is called 
Highland Mixture — the other for lowland meadows, which is called Lowland Mixture,
