Lawn Seed Mixture *27"* 
Blend 
This is by far the best mixture of grasses for a fine 
textured lawn. It is made up of the choicest and har- 
diest varieties that will winter well and thrive under 
varying climatic conditions. It has been recleaned, 
compounded and blended as perfectly as modern ma- 
chinery can do it. All of our grasses are analyzed by 
the seed laboratories and the degree of purity shows 
the elimination of practically all chaff and foreign 
seeds. Purity and Analysis Tag on Every Package.

It is a hardy northern grass that withstands drought. It 
Makes good hay ef about the same quality as Timothy, but 
it is much more valuable for pasture either alone or with 
Alfalfa. 
Alfalfa and Brome Grass. Recent tests have shown that a 
mixture of Brome Grass and Alfalfa makes ideal summer 
pasture during the mid-summer season when it is needed 
the most. 
For this purpose 10 Ibs. of Alfalfa and 5 lbs. of Brome 
grass seed are sown per acre either in the spring or in Au- 
gust. When sown alone, Brome grass is seeded at the rate of 
20 lbs. per acre. It may be seeded with Oats, Barley or 
Wheat. The mixture of Alfalfa and Brome Brass gives best 
results when a good top growth is permitted before pastur- 
ing. Cattle will eat the Brome Grass in preference to the 
Alfalfa, giving the latter a chance to become well estab- 
lished. Postpaid, 1% Ib., 40 ets.; Ib., 70 ets.; 2% Ibs., $1.50;

1615 Timothy (45 Ibs. Bu.) 
Purity 99124%, Germination 90% 
Sow in Spring or Fall 12 Ibs. per acre. As a crop te cut for hay, Timothy is 
probably surpassed by no other grass now cultivated. It is usually sown with 
other grasses about one-half to one-third of the above amount. Timothy Seed

The Greatest of All Pasture and Hay Crops 
By far the best and cheapest seeding. On low-bottom, moist soils where other 
grasses fail, this will give perfect satisfaction, and on upland it’s amazing 
what wonderful crops you can raise. 
By experimenting it was found that Alsike and Timothy made a combination 
that was excellent and ahead of anything yet discovered for hay and pasture. 
They blossom and the seed ripens together and are suited to the same soils. 
On low, moist lands, where other grasses would fail, they do especially well. 
They do well on any land where common grasses and clover grow. 
One great advantage that is realized by a mixture of these grasses is the 
fact that they are both perennials and make a better combination than most 
any other two. When you once get them established they stay right with you 
until you wish to break up the sod. They do not winter kill. Sow 10 to 12 Ibs. 
per acre, Postpaid, % lb., 45 cts.; lb., 75 ets.; 2% Ibs., $1.65; 5 Ibs., $3.00.

1585 Alta Fescue 
An improved strain of tall fescue which was developed at the Oregon 
griculture Experiment Station. Produces high yields of palatable 
forage over a long growing season. For pasture sow 15 pounds per 
acre with other legumes such as Ladino Clover. Grows well on wet 
soil even when poorly drained, but also will endure drought. Because 
of its extensive root system it has the ability to prevent soil erosion 
in waterways and to form a dense turf on banks. It stands up under 
traffic and though coarse is excellent for athletic fields, airports, play- 
grounds and lawns where there is heavy traffic. Postpaid, 4% 1b., 40
