A boon to farmers wanting High-Grade Seeds at a Money-Saving 
Price. What they are, where they come from 
AN IDEAL SEEDING FOR 10 ACRES: 2 bushels of Timothy-Alsike 
Mixture plus 1 bushel of Medium or Mammoth Clover 
N SOME of the northwestern states, especially Minnesota, and in 
certain sections of Canada, Alstke and Timothy grow naturally to- 
gether, ripen at the same time, are harvested and threshed, and as 
the seed grains of Alsike and Timothy are practically of the same size, 
the two varieties cannot be separated. 
We frequently are able to buy round lots of these fancy Mixtures 
containing 20 per cent or more of Alsike at only slightly higher prices 
than for the best Timothy, and as we pass these seeds on to you at our 
usual small margin of profit, you get the Alsike you need in your seeding 
Mixture at a little above the regular Timothy Price and then by adding 
the required amount of our D. B. Medium and Mammoth Clovers, you 
have an ideal Mixture and save money. 
This is briefly the story of the Natural Mixture. Now these Mix- 
tures are good, bad, and indifferent, and no one should buy a Mixture 
of any kind without a positive guarantee from a responsible seller as to 
the purity and also the percentage of each variety of seed in the Mixture. 
We sell just one grade—the best—and give, on our guarantee tag at- 
tached to each bag, the purity, germination, and percentage of Alsike 
and Timothy in this particular Mixture. The quantity of the two prin- 
cipal seeds may vary in different lots, but in all cases you will find “Tess 
than 14 of 1 per cent of weed seeds.”

Birdsfoot Trefoil. A long-lived hardy forage legume adapted 
to a wide range of soil conditions and ideally suited to use as hay 
and pasture for long-term seedings. 
Timothy. Most valuable of all the grasses, especially tn the North. 
It is better adapted to clay than to sandy soils and is at its best 
on moist and fertile soils. 
Red -Top. No other grass will grow under as great a variety 
of conditions as Red-Top and will thrive on almost every type 
of soil except sand. It is a rapid grower and is chiefly used as a 
wet-land or sour-land hay-crop, often with Alsike and as a pasture 
grass on damp soils. 
Kentucky Blue Grass. This is the most valuable grass for 
permanent pastures and lawns. It is hardy and thrives under 
heavy grazing. Soils of the moderately moist, medium to heavy 
types which produce the best Timothy are well suited for Ken- 
tucky Blue Grass. 
Orchard Grass. A long-lived perennial that gets its name 
from its ability to grow tn the partial shade of orchards and open 
woodlots. Its principal use is for pasture and hay under shady 
or dry conditions. 
Brome Grass. An erect perennial with strong creeping root- 
stalks. Makes a thick firm turf and thrives well on dry, loose 
soil. Seeded with Alfalfa, 8 pounds of each per acre, it makes 
good summer pasture or hay crop. 
’ : : Mee 
Reed’s Canary Grass. A hardy native perennial which ts 
attracting wide attention as a forage crop because of its ability 
to grow well on lands too wet for the common farm crop. 
. 
Domestic Rye Grass. A winter annual, recommended for a 
winter cover-crop. Twenty pounds per acre sown broadcast at 
the last cultivation of corn will produce a real sod. The amount 
of root growth is several times that of Rye and helps to prevent 
washing and to improve soil conditions after a Rye-grass cover- 
crop is plowed. 
Sudan Gra SS. A quick-growing annual grass that has few equals 
as an emergency pasture during dry spells.
