TALL MEADOW FESCUE. (FestucaElatior.) 

 Very early, nutritive aud productive. Should 

 form aportion of all pastures on wet or clav soils 



TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS. {A vena 

 Elatior.) Recommended for soiling, being rapid 

 and luxuriant in its growth, also of great value 

 in permanent hay mixtures 



TIMOTHY, or HERD GRASS. {Phleum 

 Pratense.) We offer a particularly "choice" 

 sample, free from weed seeds. 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 



Texas Blue Grass. (Poa Arachnifcra.) TJn- 

 equaled for winter pasture in the South 



Various Leaved Fescue. (Festuca Hetero- 

 phylla.) Valuable for permanent pasture, and 

 is also desirable in lawn mixtures 



Wood Meadow Grass. (Poa Nemoralis.) Of 

 early growth and thriving well uuder trees 



CLOVERS. 



ALFALFA, or LUCERNE. (Medicago Satira.) 

 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 diills, 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 ex- 

 cellent food for bees throughout its season 



Japan Clover. (Lespedeza Striata.) A low- 

 spreading perennial, much like white clover, of 



great value in the Southern States 



Mammoth Red, or Pea Vine Clover. ( Tri- 

 folium Pratense Perenne.) 



RED CLOVER, Medium. (Trifolium Pratense.) 

 C.ll'TIOX.— 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 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 had 

 been foisted by unscrupulous dealers. Our seed is of 

 high germination, pure and free from weed seeds and 

 foreign matter. 



Trice subject to change without notice 



SCARLET CLOVER. ( Trifolium Incarnatum.) 

 Of great value for sowing in the fall for plowing 



under the following spring 



WHITE CLOVER. (Trifolium Repens.) Should 

 be used in all mixtures for permanent pasture 

 and for lawns ;
