ADEE least expensive source 
of good dairy feed is prop- 
erly managed, good pasture. 
Every acre should be made 
to produce its maximum of 
grazing. To help make the milk 
checks bigger, to increase live- 
stock weight, to better poultry 
returns—your attention is in- 
vited to these pasture pages. 
Great strides have been 
made in recent years toward 
increased production. Proper 
liming and fertilization, rota- 
tional grazing, and the use of 
specialized mixtures for spe- 
cific purposes boosted pasture 
production, lowered milk pro- 
duction costs, and saved on 
grain feeds. 
The foundation for a good, 
clean, heavy-producing pasture 
is good seed. Be assured that 
all seeds here offered are of the 
highest quality—clean, vigor- 
ous, free from foul weeds... . 
will do a splendid job of upping 
production from your pasture 
acres. 
PERMANENT PASTURE 
MIXTURE (HIGHLAND) 
Blended after long observation of the 
various grasses over the Eastern ter- 
ritory. Widely used. Made up of qual- 
ity grasses adapted to well-drained, 
hilly or rolling land, in proper pro- 
portions to produce heavy, lasting 
stands. Contains blue grasses, red 
top, orchard grass, some timothy, 
proper amounts of clovers and fes- 
cues or rye grasses. Sow spring or 
fall, about 1 bushel (32 lbs.) per acre. 
PERMANENT PASTURE 
MIXTURE (LOWLAND) 
Special blend adapted for low, wet 
meadows. Includes some Reed Ca- 
nary grass, which thrives in the lower 
spots. Only highest-quality seeds are 
included in this mixture. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS 
In most Eastern sections, the leading 
pasture grass for good soils, and per- 
haps the hardiest of perennial 
grasses. Prefers sweet soil; responds 
quickly to phosphate and lime. 
Growth rarely exceeds two feet. Sow 
30 to 35 pounds per acre. Is a slow 
grower, best sown with quicker-grow- 
ing seeds. These take hold and are 
replaced by the Kentucky Blue to 
form a tough, permanent sod. Fine on 
sharp slopes and limestone valleys. 
RED TOP 
Sometimes known as “Herd's Grass.” 
Perennial, medium height, creeping 
habit of growth. Useful as a wet or 
sour land crop, for pasture mixtures 
under humid conditions, especially 
on soils other than limestone, as soil 
binder to combat erosion, and in hay 
mixtures. Grows on lime-starved 
soils. Vigorous, drought resisting, 
makes a coarse, loose turf. Matures 
with timothy. 
PERENNIAL RYE GRASS 
Lasts through many years. Good, 
quick, rich grazing—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 is best in low, 
damp locations. Is hardy, early, 
grows 2 to 3 feet high. 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS 
A long-lived, leafy, perennial bunch 
grass; drought and cold resistant. 
Early, long-season pasture. Grows on 
almost any soil.
