The Worcester Mixtures of Grass Seed 
For Meadows and Pastures 
PERMANENT PASTURE MIXTURE FOR MEDIUM SOIL. 
Aside from permanency, an important requisite is that 
of continual growth from early spring until fall, and 
as many varieties as possible should be used which 
bear constant tramping and continued close grazing. 
This mixture is prepared with these ends in view. 40 
to 50 pounds to the acre. Lb., 25c; 10 lbs., $2.20; 
100 lbs., $20.00. 
PERMANENT PASTURE MIXTURE FOR DRY, HILLY 
LANDS. This mixture is composed of grasses which 
thrive on light soil, endure long drought and bear, 
without injury, constant cropping. Lb., 25c; 10 lbs., 
$2.20; 100 lbs., $20.00. 
PERMANENT MOWING MIXTURE FOR DRY SOIL. Con¬ 
tains in large proportions, varieties which thrive on dry 
soil. Lb., 25c; 10 lbs., $2.20; 100 lbs., $20.00. 
PERMANENT MOWING MIXTURE FOR MEDIUM SOIL.

is, nevertheless, superior for feeding to both cattle and 
horses. Lb., 25e; 10 lbs., $2.20; 100 lbs., $20.00.
