larly recommend No. 2 for early use and main crop, and No. 9 for general and 

 winter use. 



Culture. — Sow the early kinds as soon as the ground will permit, in the 

 spring. For main crop, sow from the middle of July till the last of August, 

 except Nos. 8, 9 and 10. which should not be sown later than July; these are 

 usually sown in drills twelve inches apart, and thinned to six inches. The other 

 kinds can be sown in drills, or broadcast. Hoe them a month after sowing. 



WHITE DUTCH CliOYER. 



Thin makes a fine pasture, and in conjunction with Blue Grass makes the 

 finest of Lawns. Sow six pounds to the acre early in spring. 



AliSIKE, OR SWEDISH CI.OVER. 



This, in many sections, is esteemed more highly than any other variety, 

 and is becoming very popular. It affords more feed than almost any other 

 kind. Sow same as Medium Red Clover, about eight pounds per acre. 



EXTRA CliEAJV BLUE GRASg. 



The best pasturage grass for our soil and climate, succeeding finely on our 

 hill farms, and producing the most nourishing food for cattle, retaining its good 

 qualities till a late period in winter, and in the South afi"ording abundant food 

 throughout the winter. In conjunction with White Clover, it forms the finest 

 and closest of lawns; for this purpose, use 20 pounds of Blue Grass and 10 of 

 White Clover. If sown by itself, 10 pounds per acre will be sufficient, sown 

 early in the spring. 



Most of the seed that is offered is in the chafi", it being very difficult to sep- 

 arate it, but we have a process by which we obtain the seed perfectly clean, 

 which is much preferred to the common seed.
