BUIST’S GRASS SEEDS—FREE FROM WEEDS 
Buist’s Special Grass Seed Mixtures 
FOR 
HAY OR PERMANENT PASTURE 
T HE demand for our Special Mixtures of Grass Seeds for hay and permanent pasture is 
very rapidly increasing. The old custom of seeding down to clover and timothy alone 
must in a few years give way, to a very large extent, to the more improved method of mixing 
or blending the varieties of Grasses to be sown. When we state that the modern preparations 
will produce twice as much per acre as timothy and clover, it is no exaggeration. It would 
therefore be great folly for the agriculturist not to adopt it, or at least experiment with a 
trial, to a moderate extent, until he becomes convinced of the great advantage to be derived 
from it. 
In ordering, it is necessary to state the character of soil on which it is to be seeded, that 
the proportions of the most desirable varieties can be selected for the purpose.

VARIETIES OF GRASS SEEDS 
Kentucky Blue Grass. Fancy Cleaned (Poa pratensis).—Also known as June Grass. 
It is one of the most valuable varieties for lawn purposes, and as a fine pasture grass is indis' 
pensable. It thrives in dry soils and retains its verdure during the hottest weather; it is the 
famous Grass of Kentucky, and is regarded as the most valuable of all varieties. It is especially 
valuable from the fact that it starts early in the Spring and furnishes good grazing until late 
in the Fall. It requires, however, two to three years to become established, and should, 
therefore, be sown with other grasses. Our stock is the finest, heaviest and best matured seed, 
thoroughly recleaned. For lawns, sow fifty pounds per acre, and for pasture, twenty'five 
pounds per acre. Lb., 35c; 10 lbs., $2.50; 25 lbs., $5.50; 100 lbs., $20.00.
