MINERALS, 
When properly managed, good pasture is 
the least expensive source of good dairy 
feed. Every acre should be made to pro- 
duce maximum grazing. The high-quality 
pasture seed here listed will provide the 
foundation for clean, heavy-producing 
pastures . . . help increase milk checks, 
livestock weight, and poultry profits. 
HIGHLAND Permanent Pasture 
Popular heavy-producing blend, based on 
long experience over this Eastern territory. 
Widely used. Made up of quality grasses 
in proper proportions to produce heavy, 
lasting stands on well-drained, hilly or roll- 
ing land. Contains blue grass, red top, 
orchard, timothy, Ladino, proper amounts 
of other clovers, fescues, rye grass. Sow 
spring or fall, 25 to 32 pounds per acre. 
LOWLAND Permanent Pasture 
A special blend adapted for low, wet 
places. Includes increased portions of Al- 
sike, Herd Grass—other seeds that thrive 
in low areas. High-quality seeds only. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS 
Leading pasture grass for good soils. Per- 
haps the hardiest of perennials. Prefers 
sweet soil; responds quickly to phosphate 
and lime. Growth rarely exceeds two feet.

Sow 25 to 30 pounds per acre. Is a slow 
grower; best sown with quicker-growing 
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 
One of the surest grasses to catch. Grows 
under most any soil condition, wet or dry, 
rich or poor, sweet or sour. Palatability is 
low, hence is used chiefly in mixtures with 
other grasses. Is vigorous, drought-resist- 
ing, makes a coarse, loose turf. 
PERENNIAL RYE GRASS 
Good in pasture mixtures on fertile, moist 
soils. Establishes quickly and makes a 
growth in a short time. Later is crowded 
out by the other grasses. Quick, good 
grazing; can be cropped close. 
MEADOW FESCUE 
Very much at home in low, wet situations. 
Sometimes used with Ladino on wet land. 
Starts early in spring; stays green late into 
fall. Root system is deep; stands drought 
well. Palatable. Useful in pasture mix- 
tures. Makes good quality hay. 
ORCHARD GRASS 
Because Orchard is so highly useful with 
Ladino for grazing, it has won the admi- 
ration of many folks. Will grow almost 
anywhere except on poorly drained land. 
One of the best grasses for poor, dry soils. 
A heavy producer. Makes palatable, 
leafy growth in early spring and in late 
fall; probably will make more growth dur- 
ing hot, dry summer months than any 
other permanent grass. If mowed or kept 
grazed down well early in the season, will
