 seeds. Large quantities of Timothy seed are on

 sc.ds as to b.' dear as a gift, and there is no 

 sound reason for farmers to sow such seed when

 pliylla.) Valuable for permanent pasture, and 

 is also desirable in lawn mixtures 



Wood Meadow Grass. (Poa Nem oralis.) Of 

 early growth and thriving well under trees 



...CLOVERS... 



ALFALFA, or LUCERNE. [Medic&goSativa.) 

 A permanent clover of great value on all soils 

 which contain lime in any form, ami should be 

 much more extensively grown. One of our cus- 

 tomers in Logan Co., Ohio, cut four crops in one 

 Beason. The aggregate length of the four cut- 

 tings was over ten feet, ami ma<le six tons of 

 cured hay per acre. Alfalfa should be cut every 

 time it conies 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 

 Ihs. per acre; broadcast, 18 to 20 lbs. per acre. 

 ALSIKE, or HYBRID CLOVER. {Trifolium 

 Hyhrklum .) Equal in nutritive value to the Red 

 or Tea Vine (lover, and excellent for land tliut I 



is clover-sick 



Bokhara Clover. {MelilotUB Alba.) Affords 



excellent food for bees throughout its season 



Japan Clover. {Lesperfrzu Striata.) A low- 

 spreading perennial, much like white clover, of 



great value in the Southern States 



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

 foliu m I'r.itfnse Perpnno.) 



RED CLOVER, Medium. ( TrifoJium Pr&tense.) 

 CAITIOX. — Every care should be exercised in buying 

 Red Clover, lor there is always on the market at a 

 cheap price, large quantities badly infested with weed 

 seeds, which in size and appearance closely resemble 

 Red Clover, and cannot be cleaned out. When pure 

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

 frequently purposely adulterated with Yellow Tre- 

 foil (a small yellow-flowered annual clover of little or 

 no value and apt to become a weed), sold t<> 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 of high germination, pure and free from 

 weed seeds and foreign matter. 



Price subject to change without notice 



SCARLET CLOVES. ( Trifolium Invarnatum.) 

 Of great value for sowing in the fall for plowing 

 under the following spring
