A mixture is much more desirable than any one kind of grass or clover sowed alone. A mixture 
gives more hay and better hay, and it is much easier to get a stand with mixed grasses and clovers than 
it is when any one is seeded alone. In making up the mixtures listed below we use only “Perfection” 
Brand Seeds, the very best that we can secure. Our mixtures are the pride of our Field Seed Depart¬ 
ment. They have given excellent results for years, and from a business standpoint, if for no other reason, 
we could not afford to cheapen them by using low-grade seed. In making up the formulae for these we 
have relied upon our own experience to a great extent, and in addition have consulted some of the 
largest and most successful farmers in the South. These mixtures are designed to suit your soil, your 
climate, and your needs. If you want to put some hay money in your pocket next year, sow a “Perfec¬ 
tion” Brand Mixture this spring.
