JOHNSON 4 STOKES’ HIGH-GRADE GRASS SEEDS 
Grass Mixtures for Permanent Pasture and Mowing Lands 
These famous mixtures are a well-balanced combination of a number of native and acclimated foreign grasses and 
clovers, blended so as to produce a permanent, dense and deep rooting turf that will yield year after year the maximum 
quantity of bay, and afterwards to afford, if desired, a constant and abundant pasture. The yield of hay under favorable 
conditions averages 3 to 4 tons per acre at the first cutting. After the hay crop is cut, the grass commences to grow at once, 
recovering its verdure in a few days, and affords excellent pasturage even through dry summer weather, noth our JNo. 1 
Mixture for Permanent Pasture and our No. 2 Mixture for Permanent Mowing, if properly laid down, "'ill maintain their 
valuable qualities 20 years or more if they are occasionally top-dressed with manure and occasionally sprinkled "’ith grass 
seed. The mixtures contain, in suitable proportion, the following grasses : Orchard Grass, Sheep s Fescue, Meadow Fescue, 
Hard Fescue, Canadian Blue, Sweet Vernal, Meadow Foxtail, Tall Meadow Oat, Red Top, Kentucky Blue, Italian Rye Grass,
