GRASS MIXTURE FOR PERMANENT PASTURE 
This mixture is the result of extensive experiment and due consideration of the climatic con- 
ditions existing in large areas of the Pacihc Coast, and is calculated to meet the average need 
where a permanent pasture field is desired. Of necessity, some of the quick-growing, but short- 
lived, grasses are used in this mixture, but so carefully has it been compounded, that, as they 
disappear, their place is taken by other varieties of slower and continuous growth, furnishing 
an abundant and nutritions permanent food for stock. We consider 40 lbs. of this mixture suffi- 
cient for an acre. Price, 20 cents per lb. 
WHERE CLOVER IS DESIRED, we recommend sowing lo lbs. mixed 
Clover per acre, which, on account of its heavier weight, should always be 
sown separately. We supply a suitable mixture, comprising White, Mam- 
moth Red, Alsike, etc., at 20 cents per lb.
