If a sowing is made of CARTERS’ AUTUMN MIXTURE at the rate of 
2'A to 3 Btishels per acre, either upon freshly ploughed land, or well harrowed 
in upon early cleared corn stubble, a valuable addition to the Spring Food Crop 
will be secured, or should the Autumn prove favourable, a useful crop for con- 
sumption as a change of food may be available before the end of the year. 
The Mixture comprises the most Rapid Growing Grasses, Trifoliums, and 
Clovers, and is suitable for sowing in any district south of a line drawn through 
the centre of the County of York. 
Price 10s. 0d. per Bushel. Carriage Free. 
iTRIfOlIUMa 
For Districts north of the middle of the County of York we prepare a Special Mixture, 
comprising the Hardier Varieties of Grasses and Clovers only. 
Price 12s. 6d. per Bushel. Carriage Free. 
Deficient Clovers or Leys will be greatly benefited by the application of One Bushel of Carters’ 
Autumn Mixture per Acre. 
HOW THE SEED SHOULD BE SOWN, — On corn stubble harrow 
the land to make a suitable bed for the seed ; then sow, and harrow again in a 
cross direction with the object of covering the seed. Roll well afterwards, as 
the whole of the seeds delight in a firm bed, and many young plants perish 
from a want of this tenacity in the condition of the land. 
On newly broken up land the same treatment is recommended, even greater 
importance being attached to the subject of thorough rolling, so as to form a 
firm, even, and close seed-bed. 
Ai fur as uossible we use only New S eeds for these Presoriptions, 
TRIFOLIUM. 
Readers of Carters’ “ Essay upon Grasses and Grass Lands” will remember 
we state that Tiifolium may be safely sown south of the Yorkshire Wolds. 
As a stubble-plant, sown either alone or with Rye Grass, after the corn 
crop is removed. Trifolium has no equal. It will produce an enormous crop 
very early in the following Spring, suitable either for consumption as green 
food or for hay. All kinds of stock eat it freely. 
Upon imperfect clover-leys and other crops intended to produce green 
Spring food, but that may be deficient in plant, the Trifolium is invaluable, by 
reason of its remarkably rapid Spring growth and abundant productiveness. • 
The Tiifolium was originally introduced from Italy, and for some years it 
was only known as a cultivated garden-plant, the bright crimson flower being 
exceedingly pretty. 
N.B.-?rhere are also other Varieties of later Introduction— i.z., IJate 
Red Trifolium and Late White Trlfollum, both of which are useful to 
sow In smaller proportions to produce succeeeional crops after the 
first-named has been consumed. 
Sow 24 to 36 lbs. per acre (alone), or 1 8 to 20 lbs. if with Italian Rye Grass Seeds. 
Early Red, per lb. Late Red, per ib. late White, per lb.

CARTERS’ 237 & 238, HIGH HOLBORN, LONDON, 
Reasons why every Farmer should grow a few Acres of 
ITALIAN RYE GRASS. 
It will give an earlier and more certain Spring Green Crop than 
anything else we know of. 
In the early Spring it prodnoes magnificent swarths of rich nutritions 
Green Food during the bitterly cold north-east winds of April and May, 
and when the growth of other Crops is more or less oheoked. 
Italian Rye Grass is very nutritious, is eaten greedily by all kinds of stock, 
and, although very succulent, has the advantage of not scouring them. By 
its use a large number of stock may be kept upon a comparatively limited space 
of ground. 
It is especially suitable for dairying, as securing through about nine months 
of the year a constant supply of succulent food. 
Cows will generally consume about too lbs. a day, with more or less corn 
or cake ; fattening beasts require about the same quantity, with rather more 
corn or cake ; sheep will eat from 10 lbs. to 15 lbs. a day. 
Italian Rye Grass may be sown until late in Autumn at the rate of 4 bushels 
per statute acre. If sown early in Autumn it will often give a cut before 
Winter, whilst as a change of food for early Spring feeding by ewes and lambs 
it is invaluable. 
Italian Rye Grass may also be sown with Trifolium incamatum (Crimson 
Clover) at the rate of 2 bushels of the former and 18 to 20 lbs. of the latter per acre. 
The ground should be well prepared by the application of as much farmyard 
manure as the plough will turn under. Present Price— Per Bushel.
