IN previous issues of this Manual we have referred to the experiments which we were conducting at our Experimental Farm, and in 

 last year's issue we gave some interesting details and comparisons of the various Grasses and Mixtures. It was clearly shown 

 that in every instance the 3Iixtures (seventeen in all) far oatyielded Timothy or the ordinary Mixture of Timothy 

 and Clover, and proved conclusively what we have claimed for years, that far better results can be got in any section, 

 whether for hay or pasture, from the judicious combination of Grasses and Clovers, which, after all, is

than can be obtained from the use of any one variety, however good or desirable that one variety might be. 



In several instances the yield of the Mixtures was over four times ns great as the Timothy and Clover growing alongside, and 

 the pasturing qualities incomparably superior. 



The experiments on this extensive scale have now extended over four years and have been visited by hundreds of the leading 

 agriculturists and representatives of the agricultural press, who have written several interesting articles for their respective papers. 

 These we have had printed in pamphlet form and will be found interesting reading to every agriculturist. "We will gladly mail a copy 

 to all applicants. 



This Catalogue will also be found to be a complete list of the choicest grains, fodder plants, root crops and miscellaneous farm 

 seeds, all of which have been grown from selected stocks and thoroughly cleaned with our steam cleaning machinery.
