Nicholson’s Special Pasture Mixtures 
Scientifically prepared mixtures of Grasses and Clovers 
adapted to growing with each other will, in most cases, 
give much better results than would be the case if one, 
or even two, plants were sown alone. The soil in the same 
fenced pasture may vary considerably in both quality 
and texture, and particularly in such cases a properly 
prepared mixture will demonstrate its superiority over 
any one or two plants sown alone. This, as well as other 
advantages, are to be gained, we find, in sowing different 
clovers and grasses in a mixture—one serves as a nurse 
crop for the other, and they do better than when sown 
alone. 
We have given this matter a great deal of study and 
have also been in touch with the United States Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture, our State Experiment Stations, 
County Agents, and also with many of our own good 
customers, who have experimented in specific sections of 
the State and reported their results to us. We have also 
visited numerous pastures in different sections in order 
to get first-hand information direct from the parties who 
actually planted the seed. 
With the above information, we now offer you the fol¬ 
lowing prepared mixtures, carefully proportioned, for 
different sections of the State, which we believe will 
prove satisfactory to our customers. 
The quantity of seed to be sown per acre varies accord¬ 
ing to the condition of the soil and the method and care 
used in planting. Measured in pounds, the quantities vary 
according to the size of the different seeds. 
Use a Seed Sower for even distribution of seed. See 
page 62.

NOTE: This is a straight grass mixture 
without clovers. We suggest sowing Southern 
Spotted Bur Clover (in the bur) separately 
on the same land, as clover seed in the bur 
will not mix with the above grass seeds. Sow 
the grass mixture one way and the clover 
seed to cross it, as this will give you a better 
stand.

IT PAYS to run a roller over your seed bed 
to firm the bed. This will assist greatly the 
germination of small grass seeds. 
Notice 
In sending us your order for 
Pasture Mixtures, if you intend 
sowing the mixture of seed on 
new soil, that is, soil that has 
not had Clover growing on it 
the past two years—we suggest 
that you request that we ship 
the clover seed separate from 
the grasses. In this manner 
you can inoculate the clover, 
which is most important for 
best results.
