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. 
TIMOTHY (Phieum pratense). The seed we offer any farmer 
would be proud to sow. Sow 8 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. 
ORCHARD GRASS (Dactylis glomerata). Does well in 
shady places and is splendid for pasture mixtures. Grows 
quickly. Sow 15 to 25 pounds per acre. 14 Ibs. per bushel. 
Write for price list. 
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 almost any time from 
early spring until fall. The seed should be covered shallow, 
using 20 to 25 pounds per acre. Write for price list. 
Sudan Grass 
As a place for the summer seeding for increased feed production, its great- 
est purpose may be to produce pascture during the hot dry weather when other 
pasturage is usually short, but can also be harvested. Ten tons of green feed or 
three tons of dry hay per acre is not uncommon. A firm seed bed is essential. 
Use 25 to 30 lbs. per acre. Sown with Soy Beans when the beans are 3 or 4 
inches high. A very desirable and heavy yielding combination for hay or 
silage results. (40 Ibs. 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 upland. 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 generally 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. Sced is broadcast on the surface of the seed bed, 
and covered by the freezing and thawing of the soil, or by rainfall. (45 lbs. 
per bushel.) Write for price list.
