QUICKEST GROWING 
PASTURE MIXTURE 
Quick Action at Low Cost 
These mixtures, as described 
below are especially recommended 
for farmers needing some good 
early pasturage. Any of these 
mixtures may be sown early and 
can be pastured in a compara¬ 
tively few weeks. The amount of 
pasturage continues to improve 
throughout' the season and car¬ 
ries over into the following year. 
Thus high production and feeding 
value as well as low seeding cost will 
appeal to all farmers. Use them for new 
seeding or to thicken up thin pastures. 
General Description 
Each mixture is described below. The general base of 
these mixtures is a combination of Timothy, Domestic Rye 
Crass and Clovers, either Korean and Sweet or Korean and 
Crimson Clover. See page 14 for information on Rye Grass 
and page ,10 about Crimson Clover. Because of its rapid 
growth this grass requires no nurse crop. It starts quick and 
grows fast, thus giving protection to the clover seedlings as 
well as holding weed's in check. You can start to pasture this 
lightly very early. Then as the season progresses and the 
Clovers get a start you can increase the pasturing and work 
it hard. 
Production for Two Years 
The clovers add to the feeding value and build up the land. 
The Korean reseeds itself very readily even though pastured 
close. (See page 10.) The Sweet Clover is a two-year crop 
and comes on again early in 1938 when it may be pastured 
again, plowed under or used as a hay or seed crop or both. 
Evbry customer who wants to make an early seeding for 
some quick pasture should sow some of our Beat-Em-All Pas¬ 
ture Mixture. If you wish you can let it stand for hay and 
get good results.

Gives 50 Clover Seeds

That’s just what Lot Major will average when you sow 12 his. 
per acre. At 1(J lbs. per acre you have 40 clovers per square foot 
and then there is the Timothy besides. Such a seeding can produce 
a stand as "thick as hair on a dog's back.” 
The yields are surprisingly heavy because the clovers help the 
Timothy and the Timothy helps .the Clovers. We consider this one 
of our best seedings for more permanent results. The supplies of 
such seed are very short this year. We urge you to place your order 
early. Please do not think that we say this just to hurry your order. 
The situation is really serious.

While these mixtures are quite a bit higher in price than a year 
ago yet our present prices are low. They are low compared with 
other prices on the same line quality and the same clover content. 
These prices are low considering market conditions. If we don't 
sa.ve you money you can return the seed and get your money back.

These mixtures are the results of many years of experimenting. Our 
idea is to provide excellent permanent seedings at low cost. The 
meadow mixtures contain grasses am) clovers that combine for heavy 
production and high feed value. The pasture mixtures provide not 
only yield and quality but a succession of growth to give a longer 
pasture season. 
These Are Perennial Mixtures 
One seeding will last for years but is easily eradicated if desired. 
Spread over a period of years the seeding cost is very low. Sow 20 to 
25 lbs. per acre. These crops produce an abundant supply of palatable 
nutritious high quality feed. In making these blends we use seed from 
the following crops. Kentucky Blue Grass. Alsike and Red Clover, Orchard 
Grass, Red Top, Meadow Fescue. Rye Grass, Bromus, Alfalfa, Timothy.

Gentlemen: I used your alsike and timothy seed 
mixture with oats and turned stock on as sopn as 
seeded. I have done this before but never had a 
better stand of pasture grass. It looks like it 
might have been seeded a number of years. 
Yours truly. (Signed) Howard Nash,
