EVERGREEN PASTURES 
Lush Green Feed the Year Around. 
With the introduction of Ladino Clover 
into California it was soon found that with 
the addition of the proper varieties of 
grasses and other clovers to Ladino Clover 
that nice green pastures could be pro¬ 
duced practically the year around. 
The addition of different varieties of 
grasses in the correct proportions was 
found to not only lengthen and increase 
the feeding value of green pastures but 
livestock was found to do much better on 
a mixed forage. Our mixtures have been 
compounded from experiences gathered 
over a long period of year's. They are 
balanced, productive, long lived.
