PERMANENT PASTURES 
Most pastures are not supplying the amount of 
feed for farm livestock that they should. This is 
due either to the lack of fertility or lack of the proper 
pasture plants. Pastures should not be considered 
idle land and left to care for themselves. 
In codperation with the Department of Agronomy, 
Néw York State College of Agriculture, we are 
offermg the followmg recommended Pasture Mix- 
ture for 1945.

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.

Ladino White Clover........ leib: 

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.

Wild White Clover........... 2 Ab Wes 
Total for seeding an acre, 25 lbs. 
This mixture, which is based upon experiments at Cornell 
University may be used for establishing permanent pasture on 
soils high in fertility and where good grazing management 
practices will be followed. Seeding should be made in April or 
early May without a nurse crop, and when this is done the 
field should be ready for light grazing within two months after 
seeding. This mixture should not be used for hay production. 
Under wartime conditions the supply of seed of the specified 
varieties of Perennial Rye Grass, Creeping Red Fescue, and 
Birdsfoot Trefoil may be insufficient to meet the demand. In 
this event, it is suggested that Kentucky Blue Grass should 
replace all or part of the Creeping Red Fescue; that Timothy 
should replace all or part of the Perennial Rye Grass, and 
that one pound of Wild White Clover should replace two 
pounds of Birdsfoot Trefoil. When these substitutions are 
made, however, the fact will be clearly indicated on the label 
of each bag. 
Note: The Birdsfoot Trefoil and Inoculation will be sup- 
plied in a separate bag, so that it can be thoroughly inoculated 
and added to the other seeds immediately before sowing.

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.

DIBBLE’S 
GRASS MIXTURES 
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 Jawns 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 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.
