Only a few of MANY LIITTERS or PRAISE from STOCn MEN and FARM E^RS IVe have HUNDREDS MORE©/- SIMILAR PURPORT " The ^ass seed I bought of jou produced four momngs for feeding during last season and is the best piece of grass ia this section." Kev. U. Myers. "The growth is simply wonderful, and do not think there is any other grass to equal it for hay or pasture. I sowed about ten acres, from which 1 have cut what I consider the best hay ever made on my farms." J. S. Long. " The Grass seed sent me turned out well. It makes a good grass for meadow or for grazing. It is fine, close grass and the cattle like it." Padl a. Oliver. " The green appearance of the field attracted universal attention. The seed seemed to get bold of the soil completely. It has far surpassed clover aad timo- thy la the amount It yields." ,1. li. CCMMINGS. COISTTSTEIOTICXJT. " The 16 bushels Permanent Pasture Grass you sent me has proved a per- fect success. I shall want more in the spring." J. S. MacFarlane. "I used 30 bushels of your mixture for permanent meadow on seven acres in one fieid, and a little less than three acres in another. This year from the three acres I got 9 two-horse loads of excellent quality, and from the seven acres I got 28 two-horse loads, averaging a ton each. I expect to get a good second crop. The mixturesare betterthan the old-fashioned seeding of Timothy, Red-top and Clover." E. E. Holmes. nSTEIAxT' tnE:i5.SE:-5£". "From your Permanent Pasture Mixture, about eighty bushels, I had two crops, together about 3V2 tons per acre." E. J. Gehben. " Your Grass Mixture was acknowledged by all who saw it to be the best Seld of grass in this section." John S. Bigelow. " We mowed a very good crop the 20th of June, and in two weeks had good pasture—the best in the township, and very good now, and much admired by the neighboring farmers. Our Timothy meadow is nearly all killed or dried up no pasture. But the Special Grass Mixture is now very nice and green." E. W. Bruen. " I have an even, solid stand of grass that affords ample pasture, and far better than those adjoiaiag me who depend on Clover aad Timothy." E. P. Lafetra. ■VEPS-nXEOnSTT. " 7 have used your grass seeds for several years, and they are easily the best in the market." F.C.Kimball. "Iam more than pleased with the results of both Lawn and Pasture, and am satisfied that P. H. & Co.'s seeds are unsurpassed." C. F. Hastings. A7"IP2.C5I)SrijPL. "My manager is enthusiastic over your Mixture for Ray and Permanent Pasture. He claims this year he cut 3 tons per acre the first cutting, 1% tons the second, and will cut 2 tons the third. The field is a grand sight. People come for miles around to see it." E. E. Barney. " The Grass Mixture T got ot you has done extra well, especially this year of drought. It stood the drought and yielded about twice as much as Timothy, and the cattle seem to do better on it." Willard Watson. 3XEjPs.I5.-yLjPs.3Sr ID. It gives me pleasure to inform you that from the Grassseed I bought of you T got a good stand and a splendid growth. I am well pleased: it does well in this section." S. C. Jones. KTEAxT -5rOI5.PC. " The crop was much in excess of ordinary grass seeds or Timothy used in the neighborhood. As an evidence of my satisfaction, I have seeded down another lot this fall, using the same seed." James A. Miller, Jr. " The Special Grass Mixtures bought from you have given ever.v satisfaction, and, after my experience with them, I should never thialc of planting Timothy again." Charles H. Leaycraft. "It's the finest piece of grass anywhere about here. An old farmer told me last week it would cut 3V2 tons to the acre sure." James M. Richards. " Your Special Mixture of Grasses was a success; compared with Timothy and Clover, the yield is double." Oscar Silleck. It has yielded more than double the amouat of pasture apiece of Timothy aad Clover of the same size would have doae under the same coadltions." Frank G. McCollum. I><njPs.SSjPs.CB3:T:jSETTS. " The Grass Seed turned out very satisfactory, and we have this year cut three large crops of grass from the land seeded last fall with the seed bought of you." C. E. Rogers. " The seed for the meadow land was all right, and has proved a great success in every way. I have cut two heavy crops each year." W. H. Fairbank. " The Grass Seed came up so rank I bad to cut it the forepart of June, a very heavy crop of nice bay." E. L. Bartlett. " This is the third year and there was a heavy crop cut on it two weeks before Timothy was ready, and much to my surprise, there was quite a good second crop in spite of the very dry season." H. L. Pabk.
