THE COLORADO SEED CO. 



p. O. Box 1345 DENVER, COLO. 



Professor Hughes' new annual white 

 sweet clover to the De Graff Canning 

 Co., De Graff, O., at $300 per bushel, 

 $5 per pound, to be delivered as soon 

 as harvested this fall. The twenty 

 bushels are half of an estimated crop 

 from five acres of land. 



Mr. Crites, of the De Graff Canning 

 Co., is intending to use this as a cover 

 crop and green manure in their farm- 

 ing operations. He has been growing it 

 experimentally and has recently visited 

 fields of it in all parts of the country, 

 especially in Alabama, where it orig- 

 inated and is now growing wild. He 

 contracted for half of the growing crop 

 of the Henry Field Seed Co., whatever 

 it might be, and the crop is estimated 

 at forty bushels. The other half the 

 company is reserving for its retail 

 trade. 



These forty bushels constitute the 

 third crop from the start of fifty seeds 

 received from Professor Hughes two 

 years ago last spring. The company 

 raised two pounds of seed from the fifty 

 seeds. Then last year it raised 300 

 pounds, mo.st of which it retailed at $1 

 per ounce. It planted about twenty-five 

 pounds of seed on about five acres and 

 expects to get forty bushels from the 

 crop. At $300 per bushel the yield 

 would be equal to $2,400 per acre. 



MOTT-LY GLEANINGS. 



The Harnden Seed. Co., Kansas City, 

 Mo., is among the many firms which 

 will curtail on the next catalogue, as 

 the price of seeds will take an opposite 

 course from that of paper.
