ALL PURPOSE PASTURE MIXTURES 
The Mixture for Permanent Pasture we call Basic No. 1 and 
Below each one we explain how you can adapt either over to a still wider range 
Thus it is simple to have it tailor-made for your particular conditions. 
We have prepared two mixtures which will serve as excellent mixtures for good rich soils over a wide area.

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. 
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. 
How to Change Basic Mixtures 
to Fit Special Soil Types 
For Moist or Poorly Drained Soil 
If you have land that is inclined to be 
wet or moist we suggest that you use 
either Basic Mixture No. 1 or No.. 2 at-10 
to 12 pounds per acre,and add about 3 or 4 
pounds of any of the following four or 
some of each 
Reed Canary Grass Alsike Clover 
Meadow Foxtail Red Top 
We cannot make these mixtures for you 
as that would require special analysis tags. 
It is a simple matter to add a few pounds 
to the Basic Mixture just before you sow it. 
It is a good idea anyhow, to stir the seed 
of a mixture because the clovers tend to 
work toward the bottom of the sack while 
shipment is on the way. 
For Thin or Light Soil 
Use Basic No. 1 at 10 to 12 pounds per 
acre and about 4 pounds per acre of any 
one of the following crops or use some of 
each if you wish: 
Mammoth Red Orchard Grass 
Clover Sweet Clover 
Red Top (if land is not sour) 
For Sandy Soils 
Use Basic No. 1 at 10 to 12 lbs. per acre 
and add 4 to 5 pounds of any one of the 
following or some of each: 
Crested Wheat Grass Sweet Clover 
Meadow Fescue Red Top

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.

ful hog pasture and may be used for sheep.

your different soil types by simply sowing a 
‘ little less of this and adding some of the 
crops listed below. Here again let us make

for you. We could not possibly make the 
necessary analysis tags as many people 
is

SIX DIFFERENT LEGUMES 
This is a great combination that we have prepared to meet the demand of many cus- 
tomers. Some have grass seed of their own and want a variety of Clovers to mix with it. 
Others prefer to make a seeding of straight clovers but like a variety. They figure 
there are several advantages to this. First, if one fails to catch due to unfavorable soil 
or weather conditions there are plenty left to make a full stand. When used in pasture 
combinations the different clovers give a prolonged pasture season as some do best 
when it is hot, and others early. Even when cut for hay it is desirable to have a good 
aftermath for pasturé or plowing under green. If you happen to strike a wet year 
there is Clover for that kind of a season. 
Alfalfa, Red Clover, Sweet Clover, Alsike, Ladino and Birdsfoot Trefoil 
We ean give you an exceptionally low price on this wonderful seeding because we 
ean use in it some lots of seeds that are grown mixed. Those can be bought at sharp 
discounts under the prevailing market. We add other clovers to make a balanced seed- 
ing. Red Clover, Alfalfa and Alsike makes the largest percentage. Also contains enough 
Ladino to produce a nice stand of that valuable Clover in with the others. The addi- 
tion of about 10% Birdsfoot Trefoil also adds greatly to its value. See Page 27. ’ 
7 to 8 pounds per acre will give you a good stand. That makes the cost of seeding 
exceedingly low. SEE ITEM NO. 58 ON PRICE LIST... (If you have mislaid our price 
list please drop a post card and another’ one will be promptly sent.) Remember, our 
prices are for Gro-Coated Brand Seed.
