RED CLOVER, Medium. (Trifolium Pratense.) 

 CAITIOX — 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 yellow- 

 flowered annual clover of little or no value), 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 un- 

 scrupulous dealers. Our seed is of high germination, 

 pure and free from weed seeds and foreign matter.
