GRASSES 
A good pasture will make money for you. 
. . . And one step toward getting a good 
pasture is to sow good seed. . . . Such is 
here offered you. Tested seed of many 
varieties—grasses that are known to best 
serve eastern farmers. See Price List. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS 
America’s best-known cultivated pasture 
grass. Will grow in most locations but pre¬ 
fers a sweet soil. For best production should 
have some phosphate before sowing. It is a 
slow grower. Fourteen pounds to the bushel. 
One of the hardiest perennial grasses. 
Spreads by its running rootlets. Does espe¬ 
cially well in limestone soils. A low-grow¬ 
ing grass compared to some others. Rarely 
exceeds two feet. Sow other varieties with 
Kentucky Blue if you want a pasture plot 
quickly. Sow about 40 pounds per acre. 
RED TOP 
Grows under almost all conditions—will 
grow on wet land. Thrives on sour soils. 
Resists drought. Is a fast and vigorous 
grower. Sow in spring or fall. Plant Red 
Top and it will soon spread and supplant 
Forty Hereford steers grazinq 
where J. A. Williamson, Mercer 
County, Pa., had sown Hoffman's 
Hay and Pasture Seed. ... He 
wrote: "You can't sow poor seed 
and get good crops. Buy seed 
from a reliable seed house." 
Make Rough Feed 
Taste Better 
When you have rough feeds 
that are not very palatable, add 
molasses to it . . . the cows 
will clean it up much better. 
Good lor Soil 
A fairly liberal application of 
Superphosphate and Lime will 
show results on pasture for 4 
or 5 years. Repeating the treat¬ 
ment every few years will 
prove even more profitable.
