1605 Shumway’s Forest City Shady Place Lawn Seed 
Getting an attractive lawn under trees or in between apartment buildings has been a prob- 
em with many home owners but this Forest City Shady Place Mixture will solve your difficulty. 
t is a combination of fine, dwarf growing, evergreen varieties, which in their wild or natural 
} state are to be found growing in the woods or other sheltered and shaded spots. Ground that 
has been densely shaded by trees is frequently ‘‘sour,’? and if the drainage is defective it is 
| eet to be covered with moss and coarse Grasses. In such cases an application of slaked lime, at 
© rate of one hundred pounds to each thousand square feet, or two tons to the acre, is an ex- 
ellent corrective and sweetener, but the moss should be first raked off. Sow seed at the rate 
of 1 lb. for 200 sq. ft., 5 Ibs. for 1,000 sq. ft. Postpaid, Ib., $1.10; 21% Ibs., $2.60; 5 Ibs., $5.00;

1525 Bromus Inermis—Brome Grass 
It is a long lived hardy northern grass that withstands 
drought better than other grasses. It makes good hay of 
about the same quality as Timothy, but it is much more 
valuable for pasture either alone or with Alfalfa. 
Alfalfa and Brome Grass. Recent tests at Michigan State 
College have shown that a mixture of Brome Grass and 
Alfalfa makes ideal summer pasture during the mid-sum- 
mer season when it is needed the most. On light sandy 
soil in northern Michigan this mixture produced over a ton 
of hay per acre from the first cutting and good pasture for 
the balance of the season. 
For this purpose 10 lbs. of Alfalfa and 5 lbs. of Brome 
grass seed are sown per acre either in the spring or in 
August. When sown alone, Brome grass is seeded at the 
rate of 20 lbs. per acre. It may be seeded with Oats, 
Barley or Wheat. The mixture of Alfalfa and Brome 
Grass gives best results when a good top growth is per- 
mitted before pasturing. Cattle will eat the Brome Grass 
in preference to the Alfalfa, giving the latter a chance to 
become well established,

textured lawn. It is made up of the choicest and har- 
diest varieties that will winter well and thrive under 
varying climatic conditions. It has been recleaned, 
compounded and blended as perfectly as modern ma- 
chinery ean do it. All of our grasses are analyzed by 
the seed laboratories and the degree of purity shows 
the elimination of practically all chaff and foreign 
seeds.

The Greatest of All Pasture and Hay Crops 
By far the best and cheapest seeding. On low-bottom, moist soils where other 
grasses fail, this will give perfect satisfaction, and on upland it’s amazing 
what wonderful crops you can raise, 
By experimenting it was found that Alsike and Timothy made a combination 
that was excellent and ahead of anything yet discovered for hay and pasture. 
They blossom and the seed ripens together and are suited to the same soils. 
On low, moist lands, where other grasses would fail, they do especially well. 
They do well on any land where common grasses and clover grow. 
One great advantage that is realized by a mixture of these grasses is the 
fact that they are both perennials and make a better combination than most 
any other two. When you once get them established they stay right with you 
until you wish to break up the sod. They do not winter kill. Sow 10 to 12 Ibs.

An improved strain of tall fescue which was developed at the Oregon 
Agriculture Experiment Station. Produces high yields of palatable 
forage over a long growing season. For pasture sow 15 pounds per 
acre with other legumes such as Ladino Clover. Grows well’ on wet 
soil even when poorly drained, but also will endure drought, Because 
of its extensive root system it has the ability to prevent soil- erosion 
in waterways and to form a dense turf on banks. It stands up under 
traffic and though coarse is excellent for athletic fields, airports, play- 
srounds and lawns where there is heavy traffic. Postpaid, 1% Ib., 45c3
