 CAUTION. — Every care should be exercised in buying 

 Red Clover, for 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. For some 

 years past immense Quantities of Red Clover, pur- 

 poseltj ddulterulefl with Yellow Trefoil (asmallyellow- 

 aowerod annual clover of little or no value and apt to 

 become a weed), have been sold to the unsuspecting 

 farmer by country merchants who did not have the 

 expert knowledge' to detect it, and upon whom it had 



been loisted by unscrupulous dealers. Our seed is of 



high germination, pure and free from weed seeds and 

 foreign matter.
