PASTURE GRASSES 
FOR EXTRA MILK—EXTRA BEEF 
EXTRA EGG PRODUCTION 
Properly managed, good pas- 
ture can be the source of the 
cheapest dairy feed. To make 
the milk checks bigger, to in- 
crease livestock weight, to bet- 
ter poultry returns—your atten- 
tion is invited to these pasture 
pages. 
The seed crop this year in 
the Kentucky Blue Grass grow- 
ing areas was almost a complete 
failure. So—good blue grass 
seed is scarce and the price 
is high. The demand for the 
other pasture grasses to replace 
blue grass for seeding this 
spring has boosted their prices 
above normal. Brome grass is 
in short supply, price high. 
Be assured that we will do 
everything possible to fill your 
pasture needs with seeds of the 
highest quality—clean, vigor- 
ous, free from foul weeds.

“PERMANENT PASTURE 
MIXTURE”’ 
Used on great numbers of Eastern 
farms. Blended after long observation 
of the various grasses over this terri- 
tory. Two mixtures: the Highland, for 
well-drained hilly land, the Lowland, 
for low, wet meadows. Both made up 
of quality grasses, blended in proper 
proportions to produce heavy, lasting 
stands. 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. Specify Highland or Lowland. 
“KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS’’ 
The leading pasture grass for good 
soils, and perhaps the hardiest of per- 
ennial grasses in most Eastern sec- 
tions. Prefers sweet soil. Responds 
quickly to phosphate and lime. 
Rarely exceeds two feet. Sow 30 to 
35 pounds per acre. A slow grower, 
best sown with quicker-growing 
seeds. These take hold and are re- 
placed by the Kentucky Blue to form 
a tough, permanent sod. Fine on 
sharp slopes and limestone valleys.

“‘RED TOP’’ (HERD’S GRASS) 
Medium height perennial grass, with 
a creeping habit of growth. Used—(1) 
as wet or sour land crop, (2) for pas- 
ture mixtures under humid condi- 
tions, especially on soils other than 
limestone, (3) as soil binder to combat 
erosion, (4) for hay mixtures. Grows 
on lime-starved soils that won't sup- 
port other grasses. Vigorous, drought- 
resisting, it makes a coarse, loose 
turf. Matures with timothy. 
“‘PERENNIAL RYE GRASS” 
The rye grass which lasts through 
many years. Good, quick, rich graz- 
ing—can be cropped close. Grows 
on any soil not too wet. Advisable in 
many good mixtures. 
“\CANADA BLUE GRASS” 
Shorter, coarser, faster growing than 
Kentucky Blue—good on poor, rocky 
soil where Kentucky won't grow. 
‘“\MEADOW FESCUE”’ 
Often called English Blue. Grows al- 
most anywhere, but best in low, 
damp locations, Hardy, early, 2 to 3 
feet high. TALL (ALTA) FESCUE 
grows 6 to 12 inches taller. Makes 
more hay. 
“\CRESTED WHEAT GRASS” 
A long-lived, leafy, perennial bunch 
grass; drought and cold-resistant. 
Early, long-season pasture. Grows 24 
to 30 inches high, on almost any type 
of soil. Drill 12 to 16 lbs. per acre— 
broadcast 20 to 25 lbs.
