HAY MIXTURES «» Make Splendid Pasturage 
OUR SPFOTAI MIXTITRFS —Our special mixtures for mowing 1 for hay are com- 
1 '-'^^•J posed principally of grasses which ripen together for 
the first cutting; hut they also contain 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 fields for pasturage afterward. These grass mix¬ 
tures afford splendid crops of hay of the finest quality and highest feeding value, and 
after being cut wall give continuous and abundant pasturage of the richest and most 
nutritious character till winter comes. Fields sown with these mixtures will last for 
years. May be used for hay exclusively, or for hay and pasturage as may he most 
needed.

than any of our other mixtures; is admirably adapted for both 
permanent pasture and for hay; makes a thick turf and gives a 
splendid yield of grass that will be relished by all kinds of 
stock, and is adapted to a wider variety of soils than our other 
mixtures, each of which is prepared for lands of a certain char¬ 
acter and for special purposes. We recommend it for sowing on 
practically all kinds of soils, except very light sandy lands and 
on wet, heavy, low grounds. Sow 40 to 50 lbs. to the acre.

What Grass and Clover Mixtures Shall I Sow? 
In an effort to help our customers choose the correct grass and clover 
mixtures for best results in their particular locality, we are showing a map 
of the Eastern United States which will be of help in securing the correct 
seeds. 
UNSHADED PORTION—We suggest the use of Wood’s Special Grass 
and Clover Mixtures Nos. 1 to 10. The grasses in these mixtures are well 
adapted to these sections as well as States further north and west than 
shown on the map. 
SHADED PORTION—In this section of the country, the finer grasses will 
not thrive during the long summer months. For these localities, Wood’s 
Southern Permanent Pasture and Hay Mixture will thrive and give long, 
lasting crops. These sections are also especially adapted for sowing of 
Carpet Grass, Bermuda Grass, and all lespedezas except Korean. 
Why Sow Mixed Grasses 
All authorities agree that a mixture of grasses will yield a better crop 
than a single grass. 
The greater the number of grasses in a mixture the thicker the stand, and 
a more prolonged growth is produced. 
Mixtures occupy the ground more completely than a single grass and help 
to keep out weeds.
