““PERMANENT PASTURE MIXTURE”’ 
Today used on great numbers of Eastern farms 
with good results. Blended after long observa- 
tion of growth characteristics of the various 
grasses over this territory. Two mixtures are 
offered; the Highland Mixture for well-drained 
hilly land, the Lowland Mixture for low, wet 
meadows. Both made up of quality grasses, care- 
fully selected—and blended in proper propor- 
tions to produce heavy, lasting stands. They 
contain blue grasses, red top, orchard grass, 
some timothy, proper proportions of clovers 
and fescues or rye grasses. Sow either spring 
or fall, about 1 bushel (32 pounds) to the acre. 
Be sure to specify Highland or Lowland. 
“MEADOW FESCUE’”’ 
Often called English Blue. Grows almost any- 
where, but best in low, damp locations. Is hardy, 
early, 2 to 3 feet high. Stands dry or freezing 
weather. TALL (ALTA) FESCUE grows 6 to 12 
inches taller. Makes more hay. Seed very scarce. 
“TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS’”’ 
Great for poor but well-drained soils, especially 
when sandy or gravelly. Very hardy, perennial, 
highly nutritious. Pasture is ready early in 
spring and lasts late into fall. Hay yield is heavy 
when cut about blossom time. Tall, fast-growing. 
Deep rooted, cold and drought-resister. Up to 60 
inches high, in tufts. Good with red clover, 
_alsike and orchard. Destined for wider use. 
““PERENNIAL RYE GRASS’’ 
The rye grass which lasts through many years. 
Good, quick, rich grazing—can be cropped close. 
Grows on any soil not too wet. Relished by live- 
stock. Advisable in many good mixtures. 
Regular Rye Grass (see details, page 6). 
Widely used in pastures, temporary seedings, 
for cover-crop. Cost low. Use liberally.

Above bottom-land pasture was 
considered “worn out.” But was re- 
juvenated by reseeding with brome 
grass, sweet clover, alfalfa, alsike 
and timothy. Picture was taken the 
following summer.
