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.

an area that would otherwise grow sedges and similar wet- 
land plants, Reed Canary Grass is by far the best plant.
