DIBBLE’'S GRASS MIXTURES 
PERMANENT 
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 Jack of 
the proper pasture 
plants. Pastures should 
not be considered idle

This mixture should be used on fertile soil, not droughty, 
supplied with lime and adapted for alfalfa. It may be seeded 
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 from the beginning.

Total for seeding an acre, 25 lbs. 
This is a mixture for fertile but not droughty soils. Seeding 
should be made in April or early May, 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 and cover 
lightly. This mixture should be used exclusively for grazing. 
Under wartime conditions the supply of Yellow Trefoil, and 
specified varieties of Perennial Ryegrass may be insufficient to 
meet the demand. It is suggested that Kentucky Blue Grass 
be substituted for Perennial Ryegrass, and two pounds of 
Yellow Trefoil be replaced by 144 pound Wild White Clover. 
Farmers who wish to use New York Wild Birdsfoot Trefoil 
in this mixture are advised to add two pounds of inoculated 
seed immediately before seeding.

Total for seeding an acre, 20 lbs. 
This mixture should be used where the fertility is low to 
medium and the soil is not suited 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 for pas- 
ture, or it may be pastured throughout the season from the 
beginning.

This mixture is valuable for late summer or all season graz- 
ing. It is suited to a wide range of soil conditions but should 
not be seeded on extremely wet, dry, or poor soil. It is well 
suited for silage but unsatisfactory for hay.

This mixture should be used in the establishment of pas- 
tures for poultry. 
For areas too wet for other pasture grasses, use 8 pounds of 
Reed’s Canary Grass per acre. If the soil is not actually 
swampy add 2 pounds of Ladino Clover per acre. 
LAWN GRASS MIXTURES 
Seed the Iawn in early spring or early fall. 
We list two mixtures for various conditions: 
A well-kept lawn is a joy to any home-owner and will actually increase the value of his property. 
Good lawns once established will Iast 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 Jawns in New York and adjoining states, and only the 
highest grade of these individual grasses is used. 
Dibble’s Red, White, and Blue Lawn Mixture 
Contains only the highest grades of Kentucky Blue Grass; 
White 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 
Should you desire any other special mixture, kindly send us specifications and let us quote
