Prices of Farm Seeds Subject to Change Without Notice. 
Special 
Prices can often be made on Large Quantities. 
Fancy Kentucky Blue Grass.—(Poa Praten- 
sis.)—Valuable for lawns when mixed with 
other varieties, retaining its verdure in the hot- 
test weather. Extra heavy cleaned seed. Sow 
Gf alone) 40 pounds per acre; weight per 
bushel, 14 pounds. 
Orchard Grass.—Perennial. Height, 3 feet. 
It blossoms about the same time as Red Clover, 
making it, on that account, a desirable mixture 
with that plant. It is exceedingly palatable to 
stock of all kinds, and its power of enduring 
the cropping of cattle commend it as one of 
the very best pasture grasses. Sow 35 pounds 
to the acre; weight per bushel, 14 pounds. 
Red Top, or Herd’s Grass.—Perennial. 
Height, I to 2 feet. Valuable either for lawn 
mixtures, mixing in hay, or permanent pasture 
grasses; is common throughout the country; 
succeeds almost everywhere, but reaches its 
highest stage of perfection in a moist, rich soil, 
in which it attains a height of 2 to 2% feet. 
Sow (if alone) 45 pounds per acre; weight per 
bushel, 14 pounds. 
Fancy Red Top Seed.—Weight about 32 
pounds per bushel. Sow 10 to 12 lbs. per acre. 
~ Red Clover Medium.—The common variety, 
used with other grasses for either pasture or 
meadow. 
Red Clover—Mammoth, or Pea Vine.— 
Grows 5 or 6 feet high, with large, coarse stalks, 
and is largely used for plowing under for 
manure. 
Crimson, or Scarlet Clover.—This is a va- 
riety in common use in the South for feeding 
green. The yield in fodder is immense, and 
after cutting, it at once commences to grow 
again, and continues until severe, cold, freezing 
weather. In warm climates, four or five cut- 
tings are made during the season. It grows 
about 1 foot high, blossoms long, pointed, and 
of a very deep red or carmine color. Makes 
good hay. 
MILLET. 
Golden, or German.—This is a valuable for- 
age plant, and yields very heavy crops; grows 
from 2 to 4 feet high, heads single and similar 
to Hungarian, though large and with bright 
yellow oval seeds. 
BUCKWHEAT. 
Japanese.—The straw is heavier, it branches 
more, and does not need to be sown as thickly 
as the other kinds. 
Timothy.—A well-known grass, and on some 
soils it will produce a larger crop than any 
other variety. We carry a large stock of this 
seed, which is graded as “Prime,” “Strictly 
Prime,” and “Choice.” 
Aliske, or Hybrid Clover.—Even clover-sick 
lands will produce a good crop of this; peren- 
nial and very hardy. It is very valuable both 
for pasturing and soiling; very productive, 
sweet and fragrant. The flowers are a distinct 
light pink, and much liked by bees. Sow in 
spring or fall; 6 pounds to an acre. 
Alfalfa, or Lucerne.—One of the best varie- 
ties, succeeding in almost every situation. Wiil 
bear cutting three or four times during the sea- 
son. For bringing up poor land it is the best 
of the clovers, as it not only produces large 
masses of foliage, but forces its roots down full 
three feet into the earth. Sow in the spring to 
secure a good stand before winter. If to be 
used for pasturage or curing, sow 15 to 20 
pounds per acre. 
SORGHUM, or SUGAR CANE. 
Early Orange.—Valuable for green fodder; of 
large, heavy growth, but later than Amber. 
Early Amber.—Productive and nutritious for- 
age plant, yielding several cuttings in a season. 
Earlier and smaller than Orange; may be 
grown in Northern States. 
BEANS.—Velvet.—Used in the South as a 
forage plant, and for turning under as a ferti- 
lizer. The vines are relished by stock, and the 
Beans are useful for feed when ground and 
mixed with oats, or when used alone. Plant 
thinly in rows 4*feet apart. 
Soja—A valuable fodder crop, either fed 
green or as ensilage. 
PEAS.—Canada Field.—Valuable for sowing 
with oats for green fodder; also excellent for 
feeding to pigeons, etc. 
Cow.—Adapted to southern localities; also 
valuable in this latitude as a fodder plant, sheep 
being very fond of them when in flower; their 
chief value, however, is as a green crop to plow 
under. I% bushes to the acre. 
New Era.—Said to be the best variety, 
whether for northern, western or southern 
planting. They’ mature early, are upright in 
growth and enormously productive. The seed 
being small, only half the usual quantity is 
needed per acre. 
Clay.—A favorite variety. 
of peas and vine. 
Black.—Very prolific, and earlier than other 
sorts. Valuable as a forage crop. 
Whippoorwill.—Early, and a favorite in the 
North and Wesi. 
FIELD CORN.—Feld Korn. 
Golden Beauty.—A large, broad grained yel- 
low corn, with ears of perfect shape and very 
small cob. The richness of color and quality 
of the grain makes it a very superior variety. 
Ear well filled and very productive. 
SEED WHEAT, RYE AND OATS. 
Prolific in yield
