Prices subject to change without notice. Special quotations on large quantities. 



We desire to call particular attention to the fact that Grass Seeds are sold in the trade by sample, and each 

 sort is divided into three or four grades of quality, according to purity, germination and weight. The price of the 

 best grade is often double that of the ordinary. The Grass Seeds here offered by us are in every case the very- 

 highest quality.

 prepared, deeply plowed soil, at the rate of 20 to 25 

 pounds to the acre. It may also be sown as late as 

 August and up to the middle of September in more 

 southerly localities. The crop should be cut when 

 the plant is coming into bloom. In suitable soil
