Gentli-ruen: Borne lime agx I sent to you for a 

 samrle of your white and yellow sweet-c'o^tr seed. 

 After receiving the samples I sent them to Washing- 

 ton, D. C. The yellow hullM tested 99.71 per cent of 

 pure s?eed; the pnhulled white tested 99.11 per cent of 

 pure seed. I think that is fine. 1 inclose you the sam- 

 ple that you sent me. and want you to send me 80 Ibs. 

 of the same lot that this sample is out of, or some 

 equally good. Send the s^ed by freight. 



Yours truly, H. A. JBTT. 



We have a booklet, published for free distribu- 

 tion, which tells THE TRUTH ABOUT 

 SWEET CLOVER. Ask for your copy.

The prices are all subject to market changes. 

 As to the comparative value of the different 

 varieties, we will say that the white, or Meli- 

 lotuft alba, is most common, and therefore the 

 best known. The yellow is desirable because 

 it begins blooming usually from two to four 

 weeks earlier than the white. As to the two 

 varieties of yellow, one of the experiment 

 stations has said there was a distinction with- 

 out a difference.
