Permanent Pasture 
Mixture 
Good pasture is the foundation of the riches of 
a farm. One of the most valuable crops of suc¬ 
cessful stock and dairy farming is abundant pas¬ 
ture. Our mixture yields a very heavy crop of the 
finest and most succulent grasses early in the sea¬ 
son until late in the fall, and is intended especially 
for seeding pasture grounds. Several varieties are 
used in this mixture, a combination of grasses of 
different habits and seasons of growth and can be 
depended upon to produce a turf that will stand 
the trampling of stock, and as the different grasses 
have different habits of growth they grow closer 
together, their roots interlacing, covering the soil 
and forming a protection from the extreme heat, 
cold and dry weather. This enables the grasses to 
retain a rich green appearance from early Spring 
to late Fall. These mixtures are recommended for 
either Spring or Fall sowing. If sown in the 
Spring sow with a nurse crop. About one bushel 
of Oats or Barley per acre is very desirable. 
Two mixtures are made: One for well-drained 
up-land, called Highland Mixture, and the other 
for lowland meadows, which is called Lowland 
Mixture. Sow 25 pounds per acre. See price list. 
Special Hay and 
Pasture Mixture 
For ordinary Spring seeding this mixture cannot 
be beaten. The proportion is approximately six 
pounds Red Clover, three pounds Timothy, two 
pounds Alsike and one pound Alfalfa. Sow 12 to 
15 pounds per acre on well prepared seed bed. Hav¬ 
ing it so mixed saves extra bags, extra weighing, 
and extra profits, sampling, etc., and positively 
cheaper to you than if you bought each separately. 
None but the best seeds are used in this mixture, 
and it is suited to nearly all soils, and will grow in 
every section. This mixture should be used very 
extensively for either hay, pasture or soiling pur¬ 
poses. When seeding Timothy in the Spring always 
use Red and Alsike for best results. This mixture, 
we believe, will meet with your approval and be a 
money saver. It reduces the cost of your seeding 
and is an excellent grass combination for hay. We 
mix this seed, and positively none but best grades 
are used. This insures you a mixture that is free 
of noxious weeds. See price list. 
Kentucky Blue Grass 
Kentucky Blue Grass may be sown Spring or Fall. 
One of the best grasses for pasture mixtures, has 
many advantages for general purposes and is ex¬ 
tremely hardy and stands severest droughts. Comes 
on early in Spring and grows late in Fall. We 
recommend it as the grass every stock raiser wants. 
Fine for pasture as it forms a tough, closely knit 
sod that is not injured, but benefited, by trampling 
of grazing animals. It requires a good soil contain¬ 
ing some lime to yield profitable crops. When sown 
alone, sow 20 to 30 pounds per acre. See price list. 
Orchard Grass 
Orchard Grass makes a desirable grass on account 
of its quick growth, and valuable aftermath. It 
starts growing earlier in the Spring and stands dry 
weather better than any other grass. We would 
recommend it mostly for pasture, and more espe¬ 
cially when sown alone. If you have never grown 
Orchard Grass, try a little this year. It will last 
for years without the necessity of resowing. May 
be sown either Spring or Fall on any kind of soil. 
Sow 20 to 30 pounds per acre. See price list.
