ITALIAN RYE GRA 



/^ FA.RAIBR who pays little attention to the selection 

 of Timothy, Clover and other grass seed, but buys 

 from country merchants (who, however well-intentioned, seldom have suf- 

 ficient expert knowledge in this matter- to protect their customers), will in a 

 few years invariably find that he is growing more weeds than grass, and 

 naturally concludes farming is a failure. On the market there is a much 

 larger quantity of foul than of pure seed which will find its way to the farmer 

 through some channel, the ultimate results of which must be appalling. 



We sell Grass and Clover Seeds on the closest possible margin, and for Choice. Recleaned. New Crop Seeds our prices will be found very low. 

 Besides offering Grass Seeds and Clover by the lb.. 100 lbs., and bushel, we give the standard weight per bushel.

TALL MEADOW FESCUE. (Festuca Elatior.) 

 Very early, nutritive and productive. Should 

 form a portion of all pastures on wet or clay soils

 Elatior. i Recommended for soiling, being rapid 

 and luxuriant in its growth, also of great value 

 in permanent hav mixtures 



TIMOTHY, or HERD GRASS. (Phleum 

 Pratensc) We offer a particularly " choice " 

 sample, free from wen) Heeds. Large" quantities 

 of Timothy seed are on the market which are so 

 foul with noxious weed seeds as to be dear as a 

 gift, and there is no sound reason for farmers to 

 sow such seed when we offer pure seed of high 

 germinating power at such reasonable prices. 

 Price subject to change without notice 



Various Leaved Fescue. (Festnca Hetero- 

 pb.vlla.) Valuable for permanent pasture, and 

 is also desirable in lawn mixtures 



Wood Meadow Grass. [Poa Nemoralis.) Of 

 early growth and thriving well under trees 



CLOVERS. 



ALFALFA, or LUCERNE. ( MedicagoSativa.) 

 A permanent clover of great value on all soils 

 which contain lime in any form, and should be 

 much more extensively grown. One of our cus- 

 tomers in Logan Co., Ohio. cut four crops in one 

 season. The aggregate length of the four cut- 

 tings was over ten feet, and made six tons of 

 cured hay per acre. Sow in drills. 12 lbs. per 

 acre; broadcast. 18 to 20 lbs. per acre 

 ALSIKE, or HYBRID CLOVER. ( Trifolium 

 Hybridum.) Equal in nutritive value to the Red 

 or Pea Vine Clover, and excellent for land that 



is clover-sick 



Bokhara Clover. (Melilotus Alba,.') Affords 



excellent food for bees throughout its season 



Japan Clover. [Lespedeza striata.) A low- 

 s]ireading perennial, much like white clover, of 



great value in the Southern States 



Mammoth. Red, or Pea Vine Clover, i Tri- 

 folium PratPnse Perpnne.) 



RED CLOVER, Medium, i Trifolium Praiense.) 

 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 (a small vellow- 

 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 lia.l 

 been foisted by unscrupulous dealers. Our seed i< of 

 high germination, pure and free from weed seeds and 

 foreign matter.

SCARLET CLOVER, i Trifolium Incarnatum.) 



I if great value for sowing in the fall for plowing
