sample, freefrom weed seeds. Large quantities 
of Timothy seed are on the market which are so

CAUTION.—Every care should be exercised in buying 
Red Clover, for there is always on the market at a 
cheap price large quantities, badly infested with weed 
seeds, which in size and appearance closely resemble 
Red Clover, and cannot be cleaned out. For some 
years past immense quantities of Red Clover, pur- 
posely adulterated with Yellow Trefoil (asmall vations 
flowered annual clover of little or no value and apt to 
become a weed), have been sold to the unsuspecting 
farmer by country merchants who did not have the 
expert knowledge to detect it, and upon whom it had 
been foisted by unscrupulous dealers. Our seed is of 
high germination, pure and free from weed seeds and 
foreign matter.
