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 1st 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. 
TIMGTHY (Phleum pratense). The seed we offer any farmer 
would be proud to sow. Sow & to 10 pounds per acre. Sow 
in spring with clover 1 bushel to 8 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. 
CRCHARD 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. 







Early cut hay is more palatable—and high in pro- 
tein, vitamins and minerals. Producing more feeding 
nutrients from your own land is a “must” these days 
and cutting hay at the right time can help you do it. 
So get your hay equipment coheed NOW for you should 
be using it soon! 
[36] 
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 20 to 25 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 85 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 1 bushel Soy 
Beans. (40 lbs. per bushel.) Write for price list. — 
Reed Canary Grass 
8 to 12 pounds per acre. 
In Ohio, Reed Canary Grass is rarely sown on tillable up- 
land. It is sown in the low, wet areas, along streams or 
elsewhere, where it is most useful. 
The preparation of the seed bed on marsh land will ane 
erally need to be done during the dry part of late summer 
or early fall, by plowing, discing, and harrowing, but the 
seeding usually is not done until March or early April. 
Fall seeding after mid-November has also been successful. 
The seeds do not sprout until spring anyway. 3 
Seed is broadcasted on the surface of the seed bed, and — 
covered by the freezing and thawing of the soil, or by rain-_ 
fall. (45 Ibs. per bushel.) Write for price list. Z
