THIS is a splendid Winter perennial grass and is excellent for Spring and 

 Summer in all climates. Grows between 6 and 7 feet high, and stands 

 feeding or cutting. Makes rapid g'owth all through the Winter, resist- 

 ing frosts and droughts. It has proved itself one of the best introductiors of 

 recent years. Price of Seed 5/6 per lb. ; 5/- per lb. in 14 lb. lots; 4 6 

 per lb. in 28 lb. lots or more. Strong Plants, 2/- per 100; 10 - per 1 ,000. 



Strawberry Clover 



(The great Tarwin Meadow Clover) has rapidly come to the fore of late 

 years, as it is a most valuable forage plant for damp lands, producing 

 immense quantities of fattening herbage. Greatly relished by stock. When 

 established if becomes a very rapid grower and quickly covers vacant spaces.

Its freedom from insect pests and fungoid diseases, its resistance to droughts 

 and frosts, the enormous tonnage of succulent forage it produces, and its 

 fairly high feeding value, place it in the foreground of all other forage or root 

 crops. 5 - per 11). ; 20 lbs., 4 - per lb. ; 56 II). lots or more, 3 6 per lb.
