Contains 50% Clovers—Alfalfa, Red Clover, Alsike and Ladino 
This mixture is somewhat like the Marvelous Mixture described 
-above excepting that this does.not have any Sweet Clover in it. 
This makes the mixture somewhat more expensive and yet is de- 
sired by those who prefer to have a high grade, heavy clover seeding 
without Sweet Clover. You will find this a mixture that makes a 
wonderful pasture and also an excellent hay crop. The Ladino in it 
makes a splendid addition to any pasture or meadow. It generally increases 
in production from year to year. All of the other legumes in it make splendid 
combination to use with Timothy. You can use this combination just the way 
it comes. That’s the way most people do. Some however, like to add some 
of the other grasses to it such as are offered on pages 10 and 11 of this Cir- 
_ cular; You can sow it alone at the rate of around 9 pounds to the acre and 
get a very good stand. At that rate you should have around 40 to 45 clover 
seeds per square foot. See sample sent in our general catalog. 
This seeding is gaining in popularity every year and we think this year 
‘will perhaps surpass Marvelous Mixture in the demand for it. We have 
installed new machinery so that we can make these combinations more uni- 
form and they also assist us in preparing it for our chemical treatment which 
makes them the Gro-Coated Brand. 
We find that a mixed seeding is oftentimes preferable to a 
seeding of straight legumes. The grass in it like the Timothy 
helps to make a better sod, stops soil erosion better for that 
reason. The legumes supply nitrogen which the grass seed 
can use to stimulate its’own growth and increase its feeding 
value. A combination like this almost invariably outyields the 
Same crops separately. We consider this Five Way Mixture 
one of the very best seed values that we have for our trade at 
this time. We would strongly recommend its use. Item

MARVELOUS MIX |

7/3 Clovers — Balance Timothy and Kentucky 31 Fescue 
This is our heaviest producing grass and clover combination. It is the 
most popular mixture that we have ever sold. This has given sensational per- 
formance. Normally we only had timothy in it but the Kentucky 31 Fescue 
has shown tremendous productivity. It will stand more heat than timothy. 
It is not as aggressive as brome grass. Can be utilized for hay or pasture and 
we think it has added a great deal to the value of this seeding. 
Ladino clover has also been added to this in the past couple of years. 
It does not contain a large percentage of ladino, however a little of that goes 
a long way and an excess of ladino might bring on bloat trouble when used 
as pasture. 
This combination ‘makes heavy crops of hay.and it lasts several years. 
If you have trouble establishing alfalfa on your land it’s a good thing to use 
because the alfalfa in the mixture helps to establish that crop on your land. 
Sweet clover opens up the soil and adds nitrogen. Red clover and the alsike 
and the ladino fill the lower growth while the timothy and the fescue support 
it. All in all, this can make very dense mass of vegetation on any of your 
fields and that is where it counts from the standpoint of production. We 
have many letters of recommendation on this Marvelous Mixture. Our cus- 
tomers report it is the biggest yielding crop they ever had on their farms. 
You could use this to check soil erosion and to build up your soil. The gen- 
erous amount of clover in it increases the feeding 
value as well as adding to its soil renovating ability.

will make you a splendid seeding and at a reasonable 
cost. When sown at 10 Ibs. per acre you get an aver- 
age of 50 to 60 clover seeds per square foot and you

A beautiful lawn adds to the value and the pride of ownership of 
any home. Every winter there is some killing out of grass seed on 
most lawns. That leaves unsightly bare spots in a lawn where weeds 
will come in to take over. The dry conditions that we have exper- 
rienced during the past several months will undoubtedly cause quite a 
lot of trouble next spring in the way of spotted lawns. This Reddi- 
Gro that we have is a product that will help you correct such trouble 
€ quickly, economically and efficiently. 
This Reddi-Gro package contains % grass seed made up of the following 
grasses: Kentucky Blue Grass, 30%; Creeping Red Fescue, 9:35%; Poa 
Trivialis, 15.60%; Meadow Fescue, 14.4%; Perennial and Domestic Rye Grass, 
24.7% and inert, 7.42%. This is all good re-cleaned seed combined with a top 
grade non-burning fertilizer. We have a combination that can get off to a 
quick start. We have quick growing grasses in it and by having the fertilizer 
right there it will help those grasses and give them a big boost. In that way 
you can patch up your lawn and get a quicker growth than can normally 
be obtained. Of course in getting any lawn started it should have favorable 
moisture conditions and it is desirable that you water it so as to keep the 
This Reddi-Gro, comes to you in a package that has four pre-scored circles 
on the side. You’ simply pull out those circles and the package becomes a 
seeder. You can apply this mixture just where you want it, there is no 
waste, no muss, no bother. " 
We are able to offer this at a very special price this year. This was 
prepared for a firm that was unable to meet the financial obligation and so 
we secured this at a discount. They discounted it very sharply because one 
of the grasses, the Meadow Fescue, was below normal in germination but it 
will have very little noticeable effect on the results because the other grasses 
are all satisfactory. This year all lawn grasses, like blue grass and Red Top 
are very high in price, the very highest they have ever been. In spite of this, 
we can sell you this Reddi-Gro at about half what it sold for last year. We 
figure one pound of seed to seed and fertilize 125 to 150 square feet. Last 
year it retailed at 2 pounds, $1.89 and 4 pounds, $3.75. You can buy it today 
while the supply lasts.

BIG 3 MIXTURE 
Contains 60% Alfalfa and Red Clover 
This splendid seeding is similar to the famous 5 Way Mixture that is 
heavier percentage of clover. We have another mixture that does not con- 
tain the alfalfa; the Lot Just-Rite described below. This Big 3 with its ex- 
tremely high clover percentage is really a wonderful value. ; f 
The addition of some timothy to a grass and clover seeding is a big help 
in many ways. It makes a better sod than just clovers alone so if you sow it 
on hills where you have soil erosion trouble, it controls it more effectively 
than just straight clover. It also seems that the sod which is formed by the 
grass reduces the danger of heaving plants out of the soil in the spring. That 
sometimes happens with straight clover or alfalfa seedings. The timothy also 
helps to make the clovers grow more erect. The clovers and the alfalfa on 
the other hand will also help the timothy. They feed it with nitrogen so that 
it can grow taller and at the same time it increases the feeding value of the 
timothy. ; 
These ready mixtures save you the trouble of making a mixture and we 
can, as a rule, give you greater values. The reason is that we buy lots of seed 
that are grown mixed at a discount. We take these natural 
mixtures and then add clover or alfalfa to it so as to make 
this combination which has proven to be such a very. heavy $ 00 
producer. We suggest sowing around 10 pounds to the acre; 29 
some sow eight. This is Item 102. ;

This combination is similar to the 5 Way Mixture that is 
described above only it does not contain Alfalfa. These mix- 
tures containing Timothy are again attaining very wide popu- 
larity. The Timothy is one of the easiest grasses to 
establish. It is not so particular about soil conditions, 
doesn’t have to have rich soil. It is a first class crop 
in helping to keep the clovers from spreading over 
the ground. It aids in soil erosion control. The clov- 
ers of course build up the soil fertility and increase 
the protein content of the feed. This Lot Just-Rite

BASIC NO. 1 
PERMANENT PASTURE MIXTURE 
This is a splendid seeding. It has produced excellent results. 
The yields are heavy. It provides a lot of pasture. While it con- 
tains 35% legumes the 65% grasses drastically reduce any danger 
of bloat .In this mixture you get a variety of seed. The livestock 
seem to appreciate that. Different crops have somewhat different 
growing periods so that it prolongs the pasture period for more 
days. That in turn means more pounds of gain per acre and that’s 
what makes profit. 
In preparing Basic No. 1 we have selected a combination that 
should last for a good many years. There is some Rye Grass in it 
which is not permanent but that is for the purpose of providing an early top 
growth. Approximately 90% of the crops are more permanent. You should 
find it good feed for both cattle or hogs. 
This mixture contains approximately 25% Brome Grass, 25% Alta 
Fescue, 10% Orchard Grass, 5% Rye Grass, 25% Alfalfa, 5% Broadleaf 
Birdsfoot Trefoil and 5% Ladino. This is in no sense a 
cheap mixture but a top quality combination. It is thor-

give you over 25 clover seeds per square foot plus the grass. It makes an 
economical seeding and you have double assurance of getting a good 
stand. If either the Red Clover or Alsike should fail there is still enough 
clover of the others to make a good stand. Should you run into wet con- 
ditions the alsike will perform and it also grows on soils that 
are more acid than red clover will tolerate. The percentage 
of ladino is not large but it adds to the value of the seeding 
and to the value of the crop. The seed that you obtain in Lot 
Just-Rite is all hardy re-cleaned stock and our Just-Rite Mix- 
ture is one that has been pleasing our customers for years. See
