TALL MEADOW FESCUE. (Festuca Elntior.) 

 Very early, nutritive and productive. Should 

 form a portion of all pastures on wet or clay 

 soils 



TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS. (.Arena 

 Elatior. I Ileconitnended for soiling, being rapid 

 and luxuriant in its growth, also of great value 

 in pe rmane nt hay mixtures 



TIMOTHY. (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 | '.wer 

 at such reasonable prices. Price subject to 

 change without notice 



Various-Leaved Fescue. (Festuca Hetero- 

 pbylla.) Valuable for permanent pasture, and 

 is also desirable in lawn mixtures 



Wood Meadow Grass. (Poa Nemor&lis.) Of 

 early growth and thriving well under trees 



...CLOVERS- 

 ALFALFA, or LUCERNE. (MedicagoS&tiva.) 

 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 1 .ogn u 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 

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

 ALSIKE, or HYBRID CLOVER. ( Trifolium 

 lit hriiJum. I Equal in nutritive value to the Red 

 or Pea Vine Clover, and excellent for land that 



is clover-sick 



Bokhara Clover. (Melilotua Alba.) Affords 



excellent fund (or 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 I'crenne.) 



RED CLOVER, Medium. ( Tri folium Pratense.) 

 CALTI0V. — Every care should be exercised in buying 

 Red Clover, for there is always on the market Rt a 

 cheap price, large quantities badly infested with weed 

 seeds, which irr size and appearanee closely resemble 

 Red Clover, and cannot be cleaned out. When pure 

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

 frequently purposely adulterated with Yellow Tre- 

 foil (a smallyeUow-flowered annual clover of lirtle or 

 no value and apt to become a wecdl, sold to the 

 unsuspecting farmer by country merchants who 

 do not have the expert knowledge to detect it, and 

 upon whom it is foisted by unscrupulous dealers. 

 Our seed is nf high germination, pure and free from 

 weed seeds and foreign matter.

 Of great value for sowing in the fall for plowing 



tinder the following spri >g
