CLOVER—Continued 
SWEET CLOVER. White Blossom. Very high grade Scarified seed. 
Sweet clover makes a fine cover crop and should he used more ex¬ 
tensively for this purpose. It will grow on rough land where alfalfa 
would not do well and makes an immense growth. If cut before it is too 
ripe makes excellent hay. It is also valuable for pasture for hogs, 
sheep and cattle. The seed may be sown in the late fall and winter, in 
early spring or in the summer. For summer sowing use scarified seed. 
Seed not scarified germinates slowly and often lies in the ground a long 
time without sprouting.

WHITE DUTCH CLOVER. See also page 51. Used principally for 
lawns and sheep pasture. 
Lb. 65c; 2 Lbs. $1.20; 5 Lbs. or more at. 55c per Lb.; transportation paid. 
WILD WHITE CLOVER (Kent Old Pasture). Wild white clover has 
long been used in England in their famous pastures. It resembles 
ordinary White Dutch Clover in general appearance, but blossoms 
much less freely. It is low growing and tenacious, forming a thick 
sward and covers the ground quickly. Being a legume it adds nitrogen 
to the soil and will increase the growth of the companion grasses in the 
pasture. Should be in all pasture mixtures, 1 to 2 lbs. per acre is 
sufficient. 
This is a very valuable plant for lawns, the small leaves are borne 
in profusion blending well with the companion grasses actually in¬ 
creasing their growth and improving the color during dry weather. 
1 lb. to 7500 sq. ft. of lawn is sufficient as Wild White Clover spreads 
and covers the ground quickly. 
Lb. 75c; Lb. $2.35; 2 Lbs. $5.00; 5 Lbs. or more at $2.10 per Lb.; 
transportation paid. 
GRASSES for PASTURE and HAY 
25 Lbs. or more will be supplied at 100 Lb. rate. 
English Perennial Rye Grass. This is a desirable grass for pasture as it 
forms a heavy close sod and grows up quickly after being eaten or cut 
off’. Good for hay if cut when in bloom and affords good pasture after 
hay is cut. Does best on moist and heavy soil. 
Valuable to make a quick covering in new lawns, but will not make a 
permanent sod. 
Lb. 30c; 2 Lbs. 55c; 5 Lbs. $1.25; transportation paid. Not paid: 10 
Lbs. $2.20; 100 Lbs. $18.00. 
SWEDISH PERENNIAL RYE GRASS (Svalof Victoria.) Low 
growing tenacious grass, the best rye grass for pastures and recom¬ 
mended to use in the Cornell Pasture Mixture. 
Lb 45c transportation paid. Not paid: 10 lbs. $3.70; 100 lbs. $33.00. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. One of the best grasses for pasture and 
lawns. It starts to grow very early and remains green late in the fall. 
It does well on either high, dry land or places that are quite moist. The 
standard weight of a bushel of seed is 14 pounds, but the recleaned seed 
we sell weighs over 21 pounds per measure bushel. 
Kentucky Blue Grass is the “back bone” of most fine lawn mixtures.

Meadow Fescue, or English Blue Grass. Of great value for permanent 
pasture and for hay. Does best on strong land. Grows 2 feet high. 
Makes a finer and better quality of hay than Orchard grass. 
Lb. 30c; transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $2.20; 100 Lbs. $18.00. 
ORCHARD GRASS. A strong, growing, rather coarse grass, good for 
pasture and hay. Starts very early in the spring. Grows in tufts so 
should be sown with other early flowering grasses. Grows rapidly after 
being cut and affords good pasture within 10 days after cutting. Stands 
drought well as the roots extend deep into the soil. Highest grade seed. 
Lb. 35c; transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $2.40; 100 Lbs. $20.00. 
RED TOP. Fancy Recleaned Seed. (Called “Hurds Grass” in the 
South). Does well on a large variety of soils and will withstand both 
drought and wet ground. Grows 2 to 3 feet high, and makes a very 
good hay. We offer finest recleaned seed weighing 32 pounds per bushel 
which is superior to much of the Red Top Offered. 
For lawns it is fine to mix with Kentucky Blue Grass, and is used in 
practically all lawn mixtures. See page 51.

10 Lbs. $2.40; 100 Lbs. $20.00. 
Tall Meadow Oat Grass. A valuable grass for meadows and pasture. 
Does best on rather light soil but will grow well on heavier land. Starts 
very early in the spring and makes a rapid growth and on this account 
should be included in all mixtures for pastures and hay on fight soil. 
Lb. 35c; transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $2.60; 100 Lbs. $22.00. 
TIMOTHY. One of the most popular grasses for hay and pasture. We 
sell only the choicest recleaned seed. 
Pk. 80c; Bu. (45 Lbs.) $2.65; 100 Lbs. $5.85; Sack of 3 Bu. (135 Lbs.) 
$7.65. Price subject to market changes. Lowest price will be quoted 
at any time. Purchaser pays transportation. 
Timothy and Alsike Mixed. (25% Alsike Clover.) An excellent mix¬ 
ture to sow either for hay or pasture. As it requires considerable time 
and expense to separate the Clover seed from Timothy when grown to¬ 
gether, the mixed seed can be sold cheaper than the two separate. The 
mixture we offer contains 25% Alsike Clover. It is an unusually fine lot 
of seed much superior to most mixtures which contain only 11 to 15% 
Alsike. 
Pk. (11)4 Lbs.) $1.75; Bu. (45 Lbs.) $5.85; 100 Lbs. $13.00; Bag of 3 
Bu. (135 Lbs.) $16.65. Purchaser pays transportation. 
Other Grasses can be supplied. Please write for price on what you want, 
stating quantities required. 
Gosistell Pcuitusie Mixtusie 1938 
Improved Formula for Permanent Pastures—Recommended by the New York State College of Agriculture 
This mixture has been developed as a result of much time and research 
to improve the permanent pastures of New York and is recommended by 
Cornell for permanent pastures in New York State and vicinity. It has 
been found that it will do well under a great variety of conditions 
of soil and moisture. It is composed only of high quality seed of the 
proper plants and includes Wild White Clover, one of the most im¬ 
portant plants in the famous permanent pastures of England. This mix¬ 
ture may be seeded either on plowed or harrowed land and when grazed 
properly will produce more high protein feed to the acre than any farm crops 
ordinarily grown for feed. 
In comparing prices of the Cornell Pasture Mixture for 1938 it is well 
to check on the sources and quality of the various ingredients. 
The mixture we offer conforms exactly to the strict requirements of the 
Cornell specifications for the amounts of the various grasses and wild 
white clover etc., and in most cases the seed we use greatly exceeds the 
minimum requirements for germination and purity. Sample or analysis 
gladly sent on request. 
Leaflets issued by Cornell University giving specifications of tire mix¬ 
ture and directions for fertilization, seeding and management of perma¬ 
nent pastures will be sent with each order. We will gladly send you a 
copy on request. 
10 Lbs. $3.00; 100 Lbs. $26.00. Purchaser pays transportation.
