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 protection canuot be enjoyed where the seed is 
mixed before it is sent out. 
PRICES FOR JOSEPH BRECK & SONS’ SPECIAL MIXTURES FOR PERMANENT PASTURES 
AND MOWING AND GRAZING LANDS. 
When ordering, simply give number and kind of mixture selected and the number of acres for which 
seed is desired ; for example : “ Send me No. 2 Mixture for Permanent Pastures for three acres.”

Special prices for quantities for ten acres and upwards. 
While it is true that the mixtures which we have recommended are seemingly much more expen¬ 
sive 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 sowing, and produce dono^e 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 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 contain¬ 
ing 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.
