BERRY'S 
_A Combination of 7 Grasses and No Clovers 
Grass farming is becoming more and more important. For the 
“Jong-pull,”? there are many farms that would return bigger 
profits and be better farms, if they were largely devoted to 
grasses. 
Grasses Used in Master Mixture 
This seeding contains a fairly large per- 
eentage of Brome Grass, which is a very 
palatable grass of high feeding value. Ken- 
tucky Blue Grass which is well known for 
its feeding qualities and its early and late 
growth. Orchard Grass which is one of the 
first to start in the spring, and one that 
combines well in any mixture. There is 
some Meadow Fescue in it and Red Top. 
These are grasses that will grow on most 
any type of soil, and will do well under wet 
conditions. There is also the Crested Wheat 
Grass which will withstand the extremes of 
drouth. There is some Timothy in it which 
is a wonderful all purpose grass, that is al- 
most sure to make a stand. 
When you have a grass mixture’ like 
this, livestock like it better. They appre- 
ciate a variety of feeds. All of the grasses 
are perennials, and will last a number of 
years from one seeding. Some of them start 
exceedingly early in the spring, others grow 
late. Some stand drouth better than others, 
some wet and drouth both. We have grasses 
here that are suitable to a wide range of 
soils and climate. You can use it for water- 
way seedings, terraces or on any regular 
pasture combination. It will also produce a 
good hay crop. There are 
no Clovers in this Mix- 
ture, but if you want 
Clovers you can add them 
in any percentage that 
you want. Itisa straight 
grass mixture. It is a 
very popular seeding, and 
of course you can get it

cludes that. It is 2c a lb.

Mixed Grasses and Clovers 
This is a combination of grasses and clovers that has given our 
customers very satisfactory results. The seeding cost is low. It only 
requires 15 to 20 pounds to the acre. A seeding lasts several years. 
It produces a fine quality and a wide variety of feed. By using this 
combination you can get a longer pasture season. Some of the crops 
in it start early, others grow through hot weather and late into the 
fall. Some stand wet conditions, others can take a lot of drouth. 
Under almost any conditions it can give you a stand. It is highly 
productive and of excellent value. This mixture contains 4 grasses 
which make up 55% and 8 clovers totaling about 45%. The grasses 
in the mixture are Rye Grass, Meadow Fescue, Orchard Grass and 
Timothy. These are combined with Alfalfa, Sweet Clover and Korean 
Lespedeza. The Rye Grass gives you a fast growing grass that pro- 
vides a quick growth. This also helps to establish a sod while the 
others are started.

The Orchard Grass and Timothy follow a lit- 
They are adapted to a wide range of soils and make a 
splendid combination. The Clovers are generally 
ready to pasture by mid-summer. They supply 
nitrogen so that the grasses are improved in feed- 
ing value. The clovers provide high protein feed. 
All grasses are perennials. The Korean Clover is 
an annual, but it generally reseeds itself unless 
the season is too short. Sweet Clover is a two year 
crop and it, too, nearly always reseeds when used 
as a pasture. Thus the legumes afford you high 
protein feed. It will build up your land and in- 
erease the value of the grasses that grow with it. 
This mixture gives you a lot of feed value at a 
very reasonable cost. Our prices include Gro- 
Coating.

Combination of Red Top and Timothy 
We are frequently able to pick up some lots of Red Top con- 
taining some Timothy seed at very attractive quotations. It is 
possible to secure some lots of seed that have good purity and 
germination at a sharp discount under the price of seed, sepa- 
rately. There are many of our customers who like to share in 
the savings that are made in the purchase of such lots, and we 
pass the savings on to you. 
A seeding of this type is one of the 
4 surest to make a stand, for both Rep Top 
gg . and Timothy are very easy to get started. 
Both are adapted to a large range of soil, 
and will grow on land that is thin to soils 
in the highest state of fertility. Red Top 
is a grass that starts off rapidly and is 
considered a very fast growing grass in the 
perennial line. Should you happen to run 
into a wet year, you will find Red Top to 
do exceptionally well, and at the same time, 
it has proven itself to be drouth resistant. 
Timothy also flourishes over a large area 
and under many varying conditions. They 
mature seed crops at about the same time, 
so they are naturally adapted to growing 
together. : 
You can use this Lot Tim as a very eco- 
nomical seeding, just the way it comes. Or 
if you have other Grasses or Clovers which 
you would like to add to it, that-works out 
Very satisfactorily, and still helps you hold 
down seeding costs. This Mixture is ap- 
proximately 50% Red Top, 
and 50% Timothy, and we 
try to make a very uni- 
form mixture of it. Our 
supplies are not too large, 
so we would ask that you 
order early. Our price in- 
cludes Gro-Coating. See 
pages 2 and 3. Not Gro- 
Coated you can deduct 
two cents per pound from 
any of these lots. 
ow? GROW-QUICK MIXTURE 
Berry's Grow-Quick Mixture 
Contains Rye Grass, Timothy, Korean Clover and Sweet Clover. 
Approximately 50% Clover 
Balance Grasses 
You can get a very low seeding cost by using our Grow-Quick 
Mixture. This is one of our biggest selling combinations, You can 
get good quality seed at a very reasonable cost. You can begin 
pasturing this mixture quite early. The Rye Grass in it is a fast 
zrower and affords the earliest feed. As the summer progresses, the 
Sweet Clover and Korean come on and that tends to increase the 
earrying capacity while the Timothy, of course, comes along toward 
the fall. The Korean Clover will reseed for next year unless the sea- 
son is too short. As the Sweet Clover and Timothy live over winter 
they can be used next year for plowing under for fertilizer, or con- 
tinued for pasture, or cut for hay. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. per acre. That 
makes a low lost for any seeding containing 50% Legumes. If you 
are going to be short on pasture and want some- 
thing you can start pasturing quite,early, we rec- 
ommend this as a good selection. 
You can sow this combination about the same 
time you would sow small grain. We do not espe- 
cially recommend a nurse crop. If you want to 
sow some oats with it that is ok. Pasture the oats 
along with the Rye Grass while the Timothy, 
Korean Clover and Sweet Clover are getting 
started. We would not advise, however, over a 
bushel of oats to the acre. Prices include Gro- 
Coating—see pages 2 and 8.
