PERMANENT PASTURES 
Most pastures are not supplying the amount of feed for 
farm livestock that they should. This is due either to the 
Jack of fertility or lack of the proper pasture plants. 
Pastures should not be considered idle land and left to 
care for themselves. 
In cooperation with the Department of Agronomy, 
New York State College of Agriculture, we are offering 
the following recommended Pasture Mixture for 1942.

This is a mixture for soils with a high fertility level and 
should not be seeded on droughty soils. The seeding should 
be made in April or early May and without a nurse crop. A 
seed bed should be prepared by plowing and harrowing and an 
adequate application of 20 per cent super-phosphate should 
be used before seeding. Distribute the seed evenly with a 
wheelbarrow or broadcast seeder and cover lightly, not over 
one-quarter inch. This mixture should be used exclusively 
for grazing and it is essential that good grazing management 
practices be followed.

This mixture should be used where the soil is high in fertility, 
well supplied with Jime, and adapted to alfalfa. It may be 
seeded either alone or with a companion grain crop. Hay or 
summer silage may be cut for one or two years and then used 
exclusively for pasture or it may be pastured throughout the 
season from the beginning. 
LAWN GRASS MIXTURES 
Seed the lawn in early spring or early fall. 
We list two mixtures for various conditions: 
A well-kept Iawn is a joy to any home-owner and will 
actually increase the value of his property. Good lawns 
once established will last a lifetime. 
Dibble’s Lawn Grass Mixtures are superior in quality 
because they are composed of only those grasses found to 
be suitable for the best lawns in New York and adjoming 
states, and only the highest grade of these mdividual 
grasses is used. 
Should you desire any other special Jawn mixture, kindly 
send us specifications and let us quote.

Dibble’s Red, White, and Blue Lawn Mixture 
Contains only the highest grades of Kentucky Blue Grass, 
Wkite Clover, and Red-Top, mixed in the proper proportions. 
This has proved to be the best Lawn Mixture for any locality 
where Kentucky Blue Grass thrives, regardless of fancy 
names or cost. Sow 5 pounds per 1000 square feet. 
Dibble’s Shady Lawn Mixture 
Rough-stalked Meadow Grass (Poa trivialis) is included in 
this mixture, because it is the best grass for heavy, moist soil, 
or in moist shade. New Zealand Chewing’s Fescue is also 
included because it does well in dry shade or sandy soils where 
other grasses fail. Sow 5 pounds per 1000 square feet. 
The above Lawn Mixtures can be furnished without White 
Clover, if so desired, at the same price.
