 ing 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 

 r.ot be benefited by following 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 other- 

 wise 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 quaniities write-
