TAZiIi MEADOW PESCUE. ( Fe.ituca Elatior. ) 

 Very early, nutritive and productive. Should 

 form a portion of all pastures on wet or clay 

 soils 



TAZ.I. MEADOW OAT GBASS. {A vena 

 Elatior. ) Recommended for soiling, being rapid 

 and luxuriant in its growth, also of great value 

 ill permanent hay mixtures 



TIMOTHY. (Phleum Pratense.) We offer a 

 particularly "choice" sample, free from weed 

 seeds. Large quantities of Timoth.v 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-Iieaved Pescue. {Festuca Heteru- 

 jili.ylln.) Valuable for permanent pasture, and 

 is also (lesiralile in lawn mixtures

 early growth and thriving well under trees 



...CLOVERS... 



AI.PAI.FA.orl.UCEBll'E. {MedicagoSativa.) 

 A permanent clover of great value on all soils 

 which contain lime in an.v 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. Alfalfa should be cut every 

 time it comes in blossom, whether the growth 

 is short or tall, for if allowed to form seed, it 

 shortens the life of the plant. Sow in drills, 12 

 IIiK. per acre; broadcast, IS to 20 lbs, per acre,, 

 AI.SIEE, or HYBBID CXiOVEB. ( Tri folium 

 Hylividuin.) E(|ual in nutritive value to the Red 

 or Pea Vine Clover, and excellent for land that 



is clover-sick 



Bokhara Clover. {Melilotus All/a.) Affords 



excellent food for bees throughout its season 



Japan Clover. {Lespedeza Striata.) A low- 

 spreading [lerennial, much like white clover, of 



great value in the Southern States 



Mammoth Bed, or Pea-Vine Clover. ( Tri- 



folinrn Pratense Perenne.) 



BED CIiOVEB, Medium. ( Trifolium Pratense. ) 

 CAITION — 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 reseiiililc 

 Red Clover, and cannot be cleaned out. When pun- 

 seed is expensive, as it is this year. Red Clover is 

 frequentl.v purposely aflultcrated with Yellow Tre- 

 foil (a small yellow-flowered annual cloverof little or 

 no value and apt to become a weed), sold to the 

 uusiispt'ctint^ farmer by country nierchnnts who 

 do lint Ir.ivc the expert knowledge to detect it, and 

 uijnii w horn it is foisted by uiiscrupuUms dtnlcr^. 

 Our seed is of high germination, pure aud tree Irom 

 weed seeds and foreign matter.
