PERMANENT PASTURE AND MEADOW MIXTURES

[left column]

PERMANENT UPLAND MEADOW

Provides a mixed hay of best quality. It also may be
pastured after cutting should it be preferred to use it in
that manner. The other grasses in time will crowd out
the alfalfa and the red clover will cease to grow after the
second year unless permitted to seed itself, and it might
be desirable to add two pounds each of alfalfa and red
clover per acre after the second year. This top seeding
should be done in early spring and a land roller used after
the sowing. Based on 3 lbs. red clover, 3 lbs. alfalfa, 6
lbs. timothy, 1 lb. English blue grass, 1 lb. perennial rye
grass and 1 lb. orchard grass per acre. Price 55c per lb.;
3 lbs. $1.50, postpaid. See red ink list.

PERMANENT UPLAND PASTURE

For ordinary soild and desirable for all kinds of stock.
Grasses are all hardy and will furnish pasture from early
spring until severe freezing weather. It can be sown
with small grain in spring or alone and if alone is ready
for use in 90 days. Will supply good pasturage for many
years under ordinary usage. Basis per acre: Alfalfa 1 1/2
lbs., Alsike clover 1 1/2 lbs., red clover 1 1/2 lbs., timothy 3
lbs., perennial rye grass 1 lb., Engish blue grass 1 lb.,
Kentucky blue grass 2 lbs, Red Top 2 lbs., orchard grass
1 1/2 lbs. Price 55c per lb. or 3 lbs. for #1.50, postpaid. See
red ink price list for quantity values.

PERMANENT LOWLAND PASTURE

Particularly recommended for low, moist lands or for
pasutres that do not have drainage sufficient to throw off

rains quickly. All are hardy and perennial so that the pas-
ture should remain in good condition for many years. Basis
per acre: Alsike clover 3 lbs., timothy 4 lbs., Red Top 4 lbs.,
English blue grass 2 lbs., Kentucky blue grass 2 lbs. This
allows 15 lbs. per acre and should provide a heavy stand
of grass. Recommend rye as a nurse crop because it can be
consumbed as pasture while the young grasses are getting
growth. A bushel of rye and 15 lbs. of the above mixture
per acre will give quick and lasting results and wonderful
returns. Price, 55c per lb.; 3 lbs. for $1.50, postpaid. See
red ink list.

PERMANENT LOWLAND MEADOW

Peculiarly adapted for heavy and wet soild and for those
fields that are under water after heavy rains. Equals in
quality best upland hay. Basis per acre: Alsike clover 3 lbs.,
timothy 3 lbs., ret top 3 lbs., a total of 15 lbs. These are all
perennials and do not require reseeding. Price, 55c per
lb.; 3 lbs. for $1.50, postpaid. See red ink price list.

WOODLAND PASTURE MIXTURE

For orchards or timber pastures. A top seeding in early
spring without cultivation will result in better pasturage
than if no care is given other than nature's methods. Basis
is White Dutch clover 3 lbs., orchard grass 6 lbs., Kentucky
blue grass 5 lbs., English blue grass 3 lbs. and Perennial
rye grass 3 lbs. These are permanent. Price, 55c per lb.;

MILLET

There is nothing like millet to cover up shortage in your
hay crops. Can be sown in the middle or end of July and
makes a valuable catch crop. See red ink price list for
current values during the season.

[image: shield with IOWA SHIELD BRAND SEEDS written inside]

IOWA SHILED GOLDEN MILLET.--This is an
extra fancy grade of the true southern grown
Golden millet of the Tennessee or cultivated strain.
The seeds are round and "shotty." The heads are
very large, borne on a strong vigorous, very leafy
plant and produces a much heavier crop than the
ordinary stock. Per lb. 25c, 3 lbs. 60c, postpaid.

COMMON MILLET.--Preferred by some to Golden, as it
does not grow so rank and coarse. Makes a better quality
hay, but will not produce so heavily. Use strong, rich
ground for best results. Lb. 20c, 3 lbs. 50c, postpaid.

[right column]

SIBERIAN MILLET.--Frequently called Red millet. Re-
sembles Golden millet in manner of growth and produc-
tiveness. Seed is mixed red and yellow. Lb. 20c, 3 lbs. 50c.

HUNGARIAN.--Popular in some sections. Sometimes
preferred to millets as it is thought to be less dusty. Per
lb. 20c, 3 lbs. 50c, prepaid.

JAPANESE MILLET.--(Panicum crus-galli.)--A distinct
variety called by one seedsman the "Billion Dollar Grass."
Especially valuable for the north. Yields an enormous crop
of forage, which is greatly relished by stock. When cured
makes an excellent hay. Per lb. 30c, 3 lbs. 75c, postpaid.

MANITOBA MILLET.--Hog or Broomcorn millet. Best
for withstanding drouth. Two weeks earlier than Golden.
Per lb. 20c, 3 lbs. 50, postpaid.

mended by the Department of Agriculture for the South.
