GRASSES. 
A Field of Brock's Special Grass Mixture for permanent 
mowing and grazing three years after seeding. 
Special attention is called to the fact that by advan -> 
tageous arrangements with the parties who grow the dij\ 
ferent seeds for us y we are enabled to mu he a large { 
reduction in the prices of Permanent Pasture and other 
Grass Mixtures , without impairing the very high stand ) 
ard of purity and germination that we have alwayil 
maintained. 
“And he gave it for his opinion that whoever would] 
make two ears of eor?i or two blades of grass to gran 
upon a spot of ground where only one grew before would I 
dcsc 7 -ve better of mankind , and do more essential service 
to his country , than the whole race of politicians p u \ 
together .” — Swift. 
We desire to call special attention to the following 
list of Agricultural Grasses, which will, we think 
be found very comprehensive, both as to varieties and 
descriptions. We are devoting a great deal of time 
to this most important subject, and the department has 
already become an extensive one with us. 
Having learned by experience that the so-called 
imported grasses which are offered by those making j 
a specialty of them in this country are very far from * 
reliable, both as regards purity and quality, we have ' 
found it necessary to import all our seeds of this 
character direct. We have accordingly made arrange¬ 
ments for our stocks with one of the most prominent c 
growers of Agricultural Grasses on the Continent, 
who, by virtue of many years’ experience in growing 
seeds of this peculiar character, has become the rec¬ 
ognized headquarters for same. This will enable us 
to furnish our customers with the very best , and that 
which we know to be free from all adulteration .
