LADINO POULTRY RANGES... 
Ladino makes a fine range. A popular mix- 
ture in New Jersey is 4 pounds Rye Grass, 
8 pounds Orchard Grass, 4 pounds Alsike, 
and 2 pounds Ladino. 
LADINO HOG PASTURES 
Hogs make fine gains on Ladino. Some 
users ,perfer more clover here than for 
dairy pasture. Brome and Timothy are 
often used.

GOOD CARE OF LADINO IMPORTANT 
Ladino demands heavy grazing for short 
periods. Under good growing conditions, 
may require 8 to 12 cows per acre at one 
time to keep the grasses down. Should 
have frequent rest periods. Close grazing 
in late fall may be injurious. 
Fertilizer is important. 400 to 500 lbs. 
4-12-4 or 3-12-6. Fertilize each year, Sep- 
tember preferred, adding 300 to 400 Ibs. 
0-14-7 or 0-12-12 annually. Manure and 
superphosphate are used as top dressing; 
manure may stimulate the grass to crowd 
the Ladino unduly. Soil should contain 
lime—pH of 6 or higher. 
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 
produce 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 qual- 
ity. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS 
A leading pasture grass for good soils. Re- 
sponds to phosphate and lime. Growth 
rarely exceeds 2 feet. Sow 25-30 Ibs. per 
acre. Slow grower; best sown with quicker 
growers. These take hold, to be replaced 
by the Kentucky to form a tough, perma- 
nent sod. Fine on sharp slopes and lime- 
stone valleys. 
“KENTUCKY 31’’ FESCUE 
Tall growing, producing good, heavy 
growths. Resistant to rusts. Grows vigor- 
ously whether wet or dry. Stays green late 
in fall. Stands hard usage, like on airports 
or athletic fields. Not as palatable as some 
grasses, but its vigorous growth qualifies 
Ky. 31 fescues for many pasture formulas.
