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., 40c; 5 lbs., $1.75; 10 lbs., $3.25; 15 lbs., $1.50 
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., $2.25; 10 lbs., $3.95; 15 lbs., $5.80 
1106— CARPET GRASS—Its creeping habit enables it to bear 
close grazing without injury. It is strictly a pasture grass, sel¬ 
dom 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., $1.50; 10 lbs., $2.35; 15 lbs., $3.25 
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 ferti¬ 
lizer 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 or grazing, increasing the 
yield of hay and the yield and value of the pasturage. A good 
mixture is 6 pounds Timothy, 5 pounds Red Top or Herd’s Grass, 
7 pounds Meadow Fescue, and 5 pounds Alsyke Clover; this mix¬ 
ture 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 pounds Timothy and 6 pounds Alsyke 
Clover. 
1 lb., 40c; 5 lbs., $1.75; 10 lbs., $3.25; 15 lbs., $4.50 
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 pasture if it 
is possible to have same, also wants his shady ground to pro¬ 
duce, therefore we furnish this mixture, composed of the fol¬ 
lowing 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., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.40; 10 lbs., $2.35; 15 lbs., $3.25 
1113— BUCK BRAND UPLAND MIXTURE No. 2—This mixture 
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 high grade seeds: Perennial Rye 
Grass, Orchard Grass, Bur Clover, Alfalfa, Japan Clover, and 
Hop Clover. Sow 20 to 25 pounds to the acre. 
1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.40; 10 lbs., $2.35; 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 Low¬ 
land Pasture Mixture. The formula for this mixture 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 Alfalfa. Sow 15 to 20 pounds to the acre. 
1 lb., 40c; 5 lbs., $1.50; 10 lbs., $2.50; 15 lbs., $3.50 
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 in¬ 
crease 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., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.40; 10 lbs., $2.35; 15 lbs., $3.25

Is offered with the confidence that it will give stock raisers 
entire satisfaction. It has already been thoroughly tested and 
proved of great value for all kinds of stock. It contains four 
varieties of clover, besides many kinds of grasses. It is a sub¬ 
stantial mixture which will prove a profitable investment to 
any farmer and, we are safe in saying, cannot be equalled any¬ 
where. Composed of the following grasses: Red Clover, Japan 
Clover, Alsyke Clover, Alfalfa, Orchard Grass, Rye Grass, Hop 
Clover, and Bur Clover. Sow from 20 to 25 pounds of seed to 
an acre.
