 It will cost you a high price, but it will 

 be far cheaper in the end than to buy 

 something inexpensive that has more than 

 a third of sweepings and useless bulk. 

 You certainly lose nothing by buying the 

 very best seed that your dealer can offer 

 you. 



Do not be ashamed to ask for samples 

 before buying, and also get samples from 

 a number of places and compare the dif- 

 ferent seeds. Spread them out in your 

 hand and see if they are clean and without 

 chaff. A seed with a large proportion of 

 dust and chaff is not worth buying. It 

 should be your consideration to see wheth- 

 er you are getting what you pay for. 

 If you show evidences of knowing the 

 proper seeds you will receive a most re- 

 spectful hearing from the tradesman. Do 

 not balk at the price of re-cleaned seed.
