TALL MEADOW FESCUE. (Featnca Elatlor.) 

 Very early, nutritive and productive. Should 

 form u portion of nil pastures on wet orclav soils

 Blatior. ) Recommended for soiling, being rapid 

 and luxuriant in its growth, also of great value 

 in permanent hav mixtures 



TIMOTHY, or HERD GRASS. {I'lileum 

 Pratense.) We offer a particularly " choice" 



sample, free from weed s Is. 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. {Festuca Betero- 

 pliylla.) Valuable for permanent pasture, and 

 Is also desirable in lawn mixtures

 early growth and thriving well under trees 



CLOVERS. 



ALFALFA, orLUCERNE. (MedioagoSatlra.) 

 A permanent clover of gnat 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

Is clover-sick

excellent food for bees throughout its season 



Japan Clover. {Leapedeza Striata.) A low- 

 spreading perennial, pinch like white clover, of 



great value in the Southern States 



Mammoth Red, or Pea Vine Clover. ( Tri- 

 foliurn Pra tense Perenne.) 



RED CLOVER, Medium. ( Tri folium Prateuse.) 

 CArTlOX. — 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, oin^ 

 posely ad ult era f erf with Yellow Trefoil (a small yellow- 

 flowered annual clover of little or no value and apt to 

 become a weed 1, 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 sued is of 

 high germination, pure and free from weed seeds and 

 foreign matter. 



Price subject to change without notice
