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. When pure 
seed is expensive, as it is this year, Red Clover is 
frequently purposely adulterated with Yellow Tre- 
foil (a small yellow-flowered annual clover of little or 
no value and apt to become a weed), sold to the 
unsuspecting farmer by country merchants who 
do not have the expert knowledge to detect it, and 
upon whom it is foisted by unscrupulous dealers. 
Our seed is of high germination, pure and free from 
weed seeds and foreign matter.
