BUCHANAN’S GRASS SEED AND MIXTURES FOR HAY AND PASTURE 
For farmers who are intending to put land down permanently to grass, our special Grass and Clover Mixtures are 
decidedly better than sowing two or three varieties together.

1104— ORCHARD GRASS—A hay and pasture grass. A coarse- 
growing bunch grass, furnishing good grazing in early spring 
and late fall. Its growth is checked during the hot weather; 
it will endure considerable rough treatment without injury 
and should be kept closely grazed for best results. Does best 
on moist or heavier clay soils; will stand much shade and 
is excellent for woodland pastures and for sowing in gullies, 
to prevent erosion. Yields from 1 to 3 tons of hay per acre. 
Throughout Florida and in parts of other Southern States, 
Orchard Grass is extensively sown during the early fall and 
spring for lawn purposes. Sow about 15 pounds to the acre 
of our extra fine, re-cleaned seed. 
1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.40; 10 lbs., $2.40; 15 lbs., $3.35 
1105— PASPALUM DILATATUM, or DALLAS GRASS —Also 
known as Large Water Grass. It is a smooth perennial, with 
deep, strong root system and grows in clumps or bunches 
2 to 4 feet high. The leaves are numerous near the ground, 
but few on the stems. The stems are slender and usually 
drooping with the weight of the flower clusters. In the 
South it makes an all-year-round grazing and hay grass, 
where it spreads naturally. Owing to its tendency to lodge, 
this grass is better suited for pasture than for hay. It is 
one of the best winter pasture grasses for heavy, moist, 
black soils. It remains green all winter unless injured by 
severe frosts, and persistent grazing will not injure it.. 
1 lb., 55c; 5 lbs., $2.75; 10 ?bs., $4.50; 15 lbs., $6-00 
1106— CARPET GRASS—Its creeping habit enables it to bear 
close grazing without injury. It is strictly a pasture grass, 
seldom growing large enough to be worth cutting for hay. 
It will stand close grazing and heavy trampling better than 
any other grass in the Gulf region. Carpet Grass pastures 
are readily established by seeding at any time from early 
spring to late summer on well-firmed seed bed when moisture 
conditions are favorable. The carrying capacity of good 
carpet grass pasture is one cow to the acre for the five 
best months, and one cow to two acres for three to five 
months longer. Lespedeza, white clover, vetch are desirable 
in mixture with Carpet Grass. Italian rye may be used as a 
winter mixture. To secure a full stand of the grass promptly, 
seed should be sown at the rate of 10 pounds per acre. 
1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.25; 10 lbs., $2.15; 15 lbs., $2.75 
1108—TIMOTHY—Timothy requires good land to make good 
crops—this applies particularly to Timothy, for, unlike other 
grasses, it does not enrich the soil, but exhausts it, so 
that top-dressing with stable manure or fertilizer is advised; 
the fertilizer should contain a liberal amount of ammonia. 
If sown with sapling clover the clover will help to supply 
nitrogen. Meadow Fescue or Randall Grass, Red Top or 
Herd’s Grass and Sapling Clover all mature at the same 
season as Timothy, and are good grasses to sow with it 
for hay and grazing, increasing the yield of hay and the 
j yield and value of the pasturage. A good mixture is 6 lbs. 
Timothy, 5 lbs. Red Top or Herd’s Grass, 7 lbs. Meadow 
i Fescue, and 5 lbs. Alsyke Clover; this mixture will furnish 
an excellent hay and fine pasturage on good loamy soils or 
on low ground. If Timothy and Alsyke Clover are sown 
together, mix 8 lbs. Timothy and 6 lbs. Alsyke Clover. 
1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.40; 15 lbs., $1.85 
1112— BUCK BRAND SHADY PASTURE No. 1—Composed of 
the grasses and clovers which grow best in the shade. As 
we know every farmer wants some shady spots in his pas¬ 
ture if it is possible to have same, also wants his shady 
ground to produce, therefore we furnish this mixture, com¬ 
posed of the following grasses and clovers: Kentucky Blue 
Grass, Japan Clover, Hop Clover, English Rye Grass, White 
Clover, Red Top, Orchard Grass, mixed, of fresh, clean, high 
germinating seeds. Sow 15 pounds to the acre. 
1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.25; 10 lbs., $2.40; 15 lbs., $3.25 
1113— BUCK BRAND UPLAND MIXTURE No. 2—This mix¬ 
ture is our main pasture mixture or mixture for general 
planting and is composed of clovers and grasses which do 
well on our Southern uplands, mixed of the highest grade 
seeds that money can buy: Perennial Rye Grass, Orchard 
Grass, Bur Clovfer, Sweet Clover, Japan Clover, and Hop 
Clover. Sow 20 to 25 pounds to the acre. 
1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.25; 10 lbs., $2.40; 15 lbs., $3.25 
1114— BUCK BRAND LOWLAND PASTURE No. 3—Almost 
every farm has some low land unfit for cultivation, owing 
to its remaining wet until too late to plant in the spring, 
and this very land would be made to pay well if sown with 
our Lowland Pasture Mixture. The formula for this mix¬ 
ture has been tried on many thousands of our Southern 
farms with excellent results. Mixed of following seeds: 
Alsyke Clover, White Clover, Red Top, Timothy, Orchard 
Grass, English Rye Grass, Bur Clover, and Sweet Clover. 
Sow 15 to 20 pounds to the acre. 
1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.20; 10 lbs., $2.20; 15 lbs., $3.00 
1115— BUCK BRAND PERMANENT MEADOW No. 4—This 
special mixture for mowing hay is composed of grasses and 
clovers which ripen together for the first cutting, but it 
also contains smaller proportions of other grasses, which 
will increase considerably the second cutting and also add 
very much to the pasturage yield in case it is desired to 
use the field for pasturage afterwards. 
Farmers are realizing more each year the value of those 
idle acres if put to work, and also the value of a hay crop, 
especially when the crop is improving the land. Many acres, 
considered worthless and grown up in weeds, have been 
brought back to a high state of fertility by running a few 
years in a meadow. 
This mixture contains: Red Clover, Alsyke Clover, Red 
Top, Perennial Rye Grass, Orchard Grass, Timothy, and 
Japan Clover. Sow 15 pounds per acre. 
1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.20; 10 lbs., $2.20; 15 lbs., $3.00

and proved of great value for all kinds of stock. It contains

ment to any farmer and, we are safe in saying, cannot be
