ALL PURPOSE PASTURE MI. 
TURES 
We have prepared two mixtures which will serve as excellent mixtures for good rich soils over a wide area. The Mixture for Permanent Pasture we call Basic No, 1 and 
Pasture in Short Rotations 2 and 3 years, Basic No. 2. They are described herewith. 
Below each one we explain how you can adapt either over to a still wider range 
of soils simply by cutting down on the Basic Mixture and adding one or two additional crops. Thus it is simple to have it tailor-made for your particular conditions. 
BERRY'S 
FOR PERMANENT PASTURES 
This is a proven time-tested pasture seed- 
ing that will produce excellent results, It 
yields heavily. It provides plenty of pasture. 
There is ample grass to drastically reduce 
danger of bloat. There is a variety of feed 
that livestock likes. You get a long period 
of growth. Thus there are more pasture days 
and more pounds of gain per acre. That’s 
what makes profits. 
In preparing Basic No. 1 we have selected 
a splendid combination of grasses and leg- 
umes. Such a seeding will last for years. 
There is a little Rye Grass to establish a sod 
and provide some early top growth. Approx- 
imately 90% are more permanent crops 
which will begin production next year. The 
Trefoil will be at its best in the year follow- 
ing. All should remain for several years 
producing an.abundance of feed for cattle 
or hogs. 4 
This mixture contains approximately 25% Brome 
Grass; 25% Alta Fescue: 10% Orchard Grass; 5% 
Rye Grass; 25% Alfalfa; 5% Broadleaf. Birdsfoot 
Trefoil; 5% Ladino. This gives you a combina- 
tion of 65% Grasses and 35% Legumes. The 
Brome, Alta Fescue and Orchard Grass make 
up the bulk of the grasses. This is in no sense 
a cheap mixture but a top 
quality combination. All re- 
eleaned seed. It is carefully 
put together in our special 
designed mixers. It is shipped 
to you properly mixed to- 
gether. It is of course Gro- 
Coated brand so that you 
may have the best possible 
assurance of getting satisfac- 
tory stands. Sow 16 to 18 
pounds per acre. See Item 
107 on price list, 
BERRY'S 
FOR SHORT ROTATION PASTURES 
Your farming plan may call for a short 
Rotation pasture 2 to 3 years. This Mixture 
has been designed to give you a lot of feed 
in a short period. While it is made primarily 
for pasture you will also find it to give you 
good hay production. The percentage of clo- 
vers have been increased to give you some~ 
what higher nitrogen gathering crops. These 
are usually desired in shorter pastures. 
- As with Basic No. 1 this Basic No. 2 is 
fitted for the average type land good to fer- 
tile, well-drained land. It is built to give 
maximum production in the terms of pound 
of beef per acre. It will also make wonder- 
ful hog pasture and may be used for sheep. 
Here, too, you can make the mixture fit 
your different soil types by simply sowing a 
s little less of this and adding some of the 
‘crops listed below. Here again let us make 
‘x it clear that we do not add any of the others 
sfor you. We could not possibly make the 
j;necessary analysis tags as many people 
az would want it in different ways. 
The Basie No. 2 comes to you all mixed and ready 
ue to sow. It contains approxi- 
ssmately 10% Orchard Grass, 
5% Alta Fescue, 15% Tim- 
us Oothy, 15% Rye Grass, 20% 
Red Clover, 20% Alfalfa and 
“5% Ladino Clover. That then 
fis about 55% Grass and 45% 
‘Clover. It is all Gro-Coated 
“brand seed, thoroughly 
¥cleaned and ready to sow. 
ow about 12 to 15 per acre.
