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 grow¬ 
ing tenacious grass, the best rye grass for pastures and recommended 
to use in the Cornell Pasture Mixture.

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. We 
sell only seed of the highest quality. The standard weight of a bushel 
of seed is 14 pounds, but the recleaned seed we sell weighs over 21 
pounds per measured bushel. Ask for analysis or sample. 
Kentucky Blue Grass is the “back bone” of most fine lawn mixtures.

BE SURE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS IS ON 
THE ORDER SHEET 
Every year we receive a number of orders which we cannot send 
because there is no name or address on the order sheet. 
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. 40c; transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $2.60; 100 Lbs. $22.00. 
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. 
Used also in lawns, see page 51. 
Lb. 35c; 2 Lbs. 65c; 5 Lbs. $1.50; transportation paid. Not paid- 
10 Lbs. $2.40; 100 Lbs. $20.00. 
TIMOTHY. One of the most popular grasses for hay and pasture. We 
sell only the choicest recleaned seed. 
Pk. $1.10; Bu. (45 Lbs.) $3.50; 100 Lbs. $7.60; Sack of 3 Bu. (135 
Lbs.) $10.15. 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 often contain only 
15 to 20% Alsike. 
Pk. (llhC Lbs.) $1.55; Bu. (45 Lbs.) $5.00; 100 Lbs. $11.00; Bag of 
3 Bu. (135 Lbs.) $14.50. Purchaser pays transportation. 
Other Grasses can be supplied. Please write for prices on what you want, 
stating quantities required.

Improved Formulas for Permanent Pastures—Recommended by the New York State College of Agriculture 
These mixtures have been developed as a result of much time and 
research by Cornell University to improve the permanent pastures and 
hay fields of New York State and vicinity. 
The mixtures we offer‘conform exactly to the strict requirements of Ihe 
Cornell specifications for the amounts of the various grasses, Wild White 
Clover, etc. and in most cases the seed we use greatly exceeds the mini¬ 
mum requirements for germination and purity. In comparing prices of the 
Cornell Pasture Mixtures for 1940 it is well to check on the sources and 
quality of the various ingredients. Sample or analysis gladly sent on request. 
Leaflets issued by Cornell University giving specifications of the mix¬ 
tures and directions for fertilization, seeding and management of perma¬ 
nent pastures will be sent with each order. We will gladly send you a 
copy if you ask for it.

plants in the famous permanent pastures of England, and when fertil¬ 
ized and grazed properly will produce more high protein feed to the

From our customers :— 
“ Your seeds are the only ones I think I can sow. They alivays start so 
quickly and produce such abundance.” 
Harry M. Young, Palmyra, N. Y. May 16, 1939. 
“You will be interested to know that last year with your seeds we had the 
best garden of any year, and we have been there since 191b. Needless to say, 
we are using your seed again this year.”

HARRIS* SEEDS—1940 
“Since ordering my seeds from you in the past few years, I have found 
that I have the greatest success with them and am advising my friends and 
neighbors to plant yours. They are dependable and are as described in your 
catalogue. Your Harris Bullhead Cabbage and Whipple’s Early White Corn 
was the best we had in years.” 
Oskar Stapel, North Williston, Vt. Feb. 21, 1939.
