 pasture, blooming the latter part of April or May, and for feeding as hay should 

 be cut just before coming into full bloom. ' If sown with Italian Rye Grass or 

 Orchard Grass, which matures at the same time, it yields luxuriant and nutritious 

 crops for pasture. Sow Crimson Clover at the last working of all crops like 

 Beans, Corn, Melons, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, and other crops, whenever the land 

 is not intended for such early spring crops as would not be benefited by follow- 

 ing such a seeding, although it would pay to seed for only fall and winter 

 months if only for protecting the ground through the winter and catching and 

 holding the fertility of the soil, which would otherwise be lost by leaching or 

 other causes. We offer the finest quality re-cleaned seed at 12 cts. per lb. (20 

 cts. per lb. by mail). For larger quantities write for sample and price.
