Lawn Grass Seed 
We can confidently state that no better grass seed can be 
purchased. This mixture is positively composed of the pure 
seeds of fine-leaved and deep-rooted perennial grasses with a 
liberal amount of Creeping Bent, which assures a beautiful 
emerald-green lawn, thick and free of weeds. They are the 
finest seed of these varieties which can be obtained and are all 
tested for purity and germination before being mixed together. 
None are used which do not come up to the highest stand- 
ard of excellence. Each and every variety seed used in Holmes’ 
Lawn Seed is heavy weight, superfine quality. These grasses 
will form a thick, fine sod that will stand well and maintain a 
deep emerald-green turf. Furnished without clover unless 
otherwise requested.

HOLMES’ GRASSES FOR PASTURE AND HAY 
Pasture Grass Mixture 
There is probably no other means of so greatly increasing 
the net farm income on livestock farms at so low a cost as 
by the production and grazing of farm pastures. There is 
only one way to get good pasture; that is, to sow good seed 
such as here offered, pure tested seeds of many varieties of 
grasses that are known to best serve farmers. The seeding 
of grasses in Ohio should be done between March ist and 
May 10th in the spring, and in the fall between August 20th 
and October 20th. The rate of seeding if carefully done need 
not exceed 20 lbs. per acre. 
Highland Mixture; Lowland Mixture. Write for price list. 
TIMOTHY (Phleum pratense). The seed we offer any farmer 
would be proud to sow. Sow 8 to 10 pounds per acre. Sow 
in spring with clover one bushel to six acres. 45 lbs. per 
bushel. Write for price list. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS (Poa pratensis). For pasture 
and lawn it is unequalled. Sow 15 to 25 pounds per acre. 
Write for price list. 
ORCHARD GEASS (Dactylis glomerata). Does well in 
shady places and is splendid for pasture mixtures. Grows 
quickly. Sow 15 to 25 pounds per acre. 14 lbs. per bushel. 
Write for price list. 
RYE GRASS FOR COVER CROP. It is used in the place of 
Rye, but has the advantage of doing very well when sown 
earlier in the fall than Rye. In fact, it can be sown al- 
most any time from early spring until fall. The seed 
should be covered shallow, using 15 pounds per acre.

Sudan Grass Seed 
The Ohio Experiment Station, Wooster, Ohio, has had ex- 
cellent results with Sudan Grass as a pasture for dairy 
eattle. Also considered excellent hay crop. It is a warm 
weather plant and should not be sown until the ground gets 
warm. It is known to grow 60 inches in 62 days from seed- 
ing. It will produce from two to three tons per acre and 
more if 1t is cut twice. All kinds of stock relish it because it 
is sweet. Sow or drill solid 20 to 30 lbs. per acre. Cut it as 
soon as it comes into head. Cure it just like timothy hay is 
cured, For Silo—Plant 15 lbs. Sudan to bush Soy Beans. (40 
lbs. per bushel.) Write for price list. 
Reed Canary Grass 
It is adapted to low wet soil and low places and oftentimes 
produces well on land that is too wet for most field crops. Sat- 
isfactory yields of both hay and pasture are being reported on 
muck land. This grass is a hardy perennial, 2 to 6 feet tall. 
Grows well on good loams and clay soils. Reed Canary Grass 
may be used for pasture or hay. It comes on early in the spring 
and produces a large quantity of succulent forage, Cut when 
first heads appear and before it has fully headed out. Cures 
slowly. Seeded in early spring or during August to October. 
Sow 15 lbs. per acre. (44 lbs. per bushel.) Write for price list.
