NOTE. 
It will be noticed that the different tables are all based on the quantity required to sow one acre, so in ordering, 
our patrons will please state the number of acres for which the seed is desired. We shall, unless we are especially 
instructed to the contrary, put up each variety of seed in separate packages, packing the entire quantity necessary for 
one acre in a case. We recommend our friends to always buy their mixtures put up as above, and to refuse to receive 
them in any other shape. The advantage of buying the seed before it is mixed is very apparent, as it insures the 
purchaser obtaining the exact varieties and quantities which should compose the mixture he has ordered. This protec¬ 
tion cannot be enjoyed where the seed is mixed before it is sent out.

Special prices for quantities for ten acres and upwards. 
While it is true that the mixtures which we have recommended are seemingly much more expensive than what 
is commonly used, it should be borne in mind that a vastly increased value is given to the pasture, not only for one 
year, but if the land is properly cared for it will remain in good condition for fifteen or twenty years without further 
mowing, and produce double the amount of fodder, while the ordinary sowing has to be repeated every three or four 
years; thus, in the end, costing more than four times as much as what would be paid originally for the proper mixture. 
Caution. — Appreciating the fact that some unscrupulous parties will probably offer mixtures for permanent pastures, 
mowing lands, and alternate husbandry, purporting to be the same as ours, we shall, as a matter of protection to both 
our patrons and ourselves, stencil or print on each case, and also on package containing each variety of seed, our 
name and address, and request our patrons before purchasing from any other source than ourselves direct, that they 
examine the case containing same, and if not stenciled as described they may know that IT is NOT our mixture, and 
therefore not in any way entitled to our endorsement.
