Only a feav of MANY LETTERS or PRAISE from STOCK MEN and FARMERS IVe have HUNDREDS MOREof SIMILAR PURPORT " The fn-ass seed I bought of you produced four momngs for feeding during last season and is the best piece of grass in tliis section." Kev. U. Myers. " The growth is simply wonderful, and do not think there is any other grass to equal it for bay 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." Paul A. Oliver. " The green appearance of the field attracted universal attention. The seed seemed to get hold of the soil completely. It has far surpassed clover and timo- thy la the amouat it yields." J. B. Cummings. consrnsTECTicxjT. " The 16 bushels Permanent Pasture Grass you sent me has proved a per- fect success. I shall want more in the spring." J. S. MacFaelane. "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 mixtures are better than the old-fashioned seeding of Timothy, Red-top and Clover." B. E. Holmes. "From your Permanent Pasture Mixture, about eighty bushels, I had two crops, together about 3V2 tons per acre." E. J. Gehben. " Tour 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 20tb of June, and in two weeks bad good pasture—the best in the township, and very good no w. 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 adjoiaing me who depend on Clover and Timothy." E. P. Lafetea. ■V"E:I2.3XE01^TT. " I have used your grass seeds tor several years, and they are easily the best in the market." F. C. Kimball. "lam more than pleased with the results of both Lawn and Pasture, and am satisBed that P. H. & Co.'s seeds are unsurpassed." C. F. Hastings. A7-II5.0^I3XrijPs.. "My manager is enthusiastic over your Mixture for Hay and Permanent Pasture. He claims this year he cut 3 tons per acre the erst cutting, 7% tons the second, and will cut 2 tons the third. The Held is a grand sight. People come for miles around to see it." E. E. Barney. " The Grass Mixture I got oi you has done extra well, especially this year ot drought. It stood the drought and yielded about twice as much as Timothy, and the cattle seem to do better on it" Willaed Watson. "It gives me pleasure to inform you that from the Grass seed I bought ofvou I got a good stand and a splendid growth. I am well pleased; it does well in this section." g. C. Jones. " The crop was much in excess of ordinary grass seeds or Timothy used in the neighborhood. As 3D 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 everv satisfaction, and, after my experience with them, I should never thinit 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 SVn tons to the acre sure." James M. Richards. " Tour 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 amount of pasture apieceof Timothy and Clover of the same size would have done under the same conditions." Frank G. McCollum. " 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 tor 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 had to cut it the forepart ot June, a very heavy crop of nice hay." E. L. Babtlett. " This is thetbird 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 ottbe very dry season." H. Lu Park.
