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 
rot 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.

shady places and is splendid for pasture mixtures. Grows 
quickly. Sow 15 to 25 pounds per acre. 14 lbs. per bushel.

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 
cattle. 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 it 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 
5 to 10 pounds per acre. 
Reed Canary Grass is a coarse-growing perennial grass, 
which is especially adapted to seeding in areas otherwise too 
wet to use for cultivated crops. It also makes a good growth 
on upland and in a dry season, but other grasses are superior 
to it for these situations. For furnishing pasture and hay from 
an area that would otherwise grow sedges and similar wet- 
land plants, Reed Canary Grass is by far the best plant. (45 
lbs. per bushel.) Write for price list.
