DIBBLE’S rec/eaqned TIMOTHY-ALSIKE 
NATURAL 
MIXTURES 
THE BARGAIN OF THE GRASS SEED TRADE 
A boon to farmers wanting High-Grade Seeds at a Money-Saving Price. What they are, where they come from 
AN IDEAL SEEDING FOR 10 ACRES. 2 bushels of Timothy-Alsike Mixture plus 1 bushel of Medium or Mammoth Clover 
N SOME of the northwestern states, especially Minnesota, 
] and in certain sections of Canada, Alstke and Timothy grow 
naturally together, ripen at the same time, are harvested and 
threshed, and as the seed grains of Alsike and Timothy are prac- 
tically of the same size, the two varieties cannot be separated. 
We frequently are able to buy round Iots of these fancy Mix- 
tures containing 20 per cent or more of Alsike at only slightly 
higher prices than for the best Timothy, and as we pass these 
seeds on to you at our usual small margin of profit, you get the 
Alsike you need in your seeding Mixture at a little above the 
regular Timothy Price and then by adding the required amount 
of our D. B. Medium and Mammoth Clovers, you have an ideal 
Mixture and save money on every acre you seed down. 
This is briefly the story of the Natural Mixture. Now these 
Mixtures are good, bad, and indifferent, and no one should buy a 
Mixture of any kind without a positive guarantee from a respon- 
sible seller as to the purity and also the percentage of each variety 
of seed in the Mixture. We sell just one grade—the best—and 
give, on our guarantee tag attached to each bag, the purity, ger- 
mination, and percentage of Alsike and Timothy in this particular 
Mixture. The quantity of the two principal seeds may vary m 
different Jots, but m all cases you will find “Jess than 14 of 1 per 
cent of weed seeds.”
