Good WwHWwIC important minerals, vitamins,

Properly managed, good pasture is the least expensive source of 
good dairy feed. Every acre should produce maximum grazing. 
The high-quality pasture seed here listed will provide the foun- 
dation for clean, heavy-producing pastures . . . help increase milk 
checks, livestock weight and poultry profits. 
When You Desire a Special Purpose Mixture 
Hoffman facilities include modern seed-mixing machinery for 
“making to order” any special formula. And only clean, sound- 
growing seed will be used. 
HIGHLAND PERMANENT PASTURE 
Popular heavy-producing blend, based on long experience. Widely 
used. Made up of quality grasses in proper proportions to pro- 
duce heavy, lasting stands on well-drained, hilly or rolling land. 
Contains Blue Grass, Red Top, Orchard, Timothy, Ladino, other 
clovers, Fescues, Rye Grass. Sow 25 to 32 pounds per acre. 
LOWLAND PERMANENT PASTURE 
A special blend adapted for low, wet places. Includes increased 
portions of seeds that thrive in low areas. High quality. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS 
Leading pasture grass for good soils. Perhaps the hardiest peren- 
nial. Prefers sweet soil; responds quickly to phosphate and lime. 
Growth rarely exceeds 2 feet. Sow 25-30 Ibs. per acre. Slow ~* 2 
grower; best sown with quicker growers. These take hold, to be 
replaced by the Kentucky to form a tough, permanent sod. Fine 
on sharp slopes and limestone valleys. 
ORCHARD GRASS 
Because Orchard is highly useful with Ladino for grazing, it has 
won many friends. Will grow most anywhere except on poorly 
drained land. One of the best grasses for poor, dry soils. Heavy 
roducer. Makes palatable, leafy growth in early spring and late 
all; probably will make more growth during hot, dry summer 
months than any other permanent grass. If mowed or kept grazed 
down early in the season, will not become coarse and unpalatable. 
First growth is often cut for hay or grass silage. Pasture later. 
Four to 7 pounds Orchard with 1 pound Ladino is a good 
basis for a pasture formula. A few pounds Red or Alsike and 
Timothy helps fill in during first year. On good soil, alfalfa is 
often included. Sowing too much Orchard could crowd the 
clover. As an intensively grazed or supplement pasture for July 
and August, Orchard-Ladino is about unbeatable. 
MEADOW FESCUE 
At home in low, wet situations. Sometimes used with Ladino. 
Starts early in spring; stays green into fall. Root system is deen: 
stands drought well. Palatable. Makes good hay. y is deep;
