TALL MEADOW FESCUE. ( Festuea Flatior. ) 

 Very early, nutritive and productive. Should 

 form a portion of all pastures on wet or clay 

 soils 



TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS. (A vena 

 Flatior. ) Recommended for soiling, being rapid 

 and luxuriant in its growth, also of great value 

 in permanent hay mixtures 



TIMOTHY. (Phleum Pratense.) We offer a 

 particularly "choice" sample, free from weed 

 seeds. Large quantities of Timothy seed are on 

 the market which are so foul with noxious weed 

 seeds as to be dear as a gift, and there is no 

 sound reason for farmers to sow such seed when 

 we offer pure seed of high germinating r. ,wer 

 at such reasonable prices. Price subject to 

 change without notice 



Various-Leaved Fescue. (Festuea Hetero- 

 pbylla.) Valuable for permanent pasture, and 

 is also desirable in lawn mixtures 



Wood Meadow Grass. ( Poa Xemoralis.) Oil 

 early growth and thriving well under trees 14 lbs. 



...CLOVERS... 



ALFALFA, or LUCERNE. (MedieagoSativa.) 

 A permanent clover of great value on all soils 

 which contain lime in any form, and should be 

 much more extensively grown. One of our cus- 

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

 season. The aggregate length of the four cut- 

 tings was over ten feet, and made 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 I 

 lbs. per acre; broadcast, 18 to 20 lbs. per acre.. I 60 lbs 

 ALSIKE, or HYBRID CLOVER. { Trifolium 

 Hybridum. ) Equal in nutritive value to the Red 

 or Pea Vine Clover, and excellent for land that 



is clover-sick 60 lbs. 



Bokhara Clover. (Melilotus Alba.) Affords 



excellent food for bees throughout its season 60 lbs 



Japan Clover. (Lespedeza Striata.) A low- 

 spreading perennial, much like white clover, of 



great value in the Southern States 20 lbs 



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

 folium Pratense Perenne.) 60 lbs. 



RED CLOVER, Medium. ( Trifolium Pratense.) 

 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. When pure 

 seed is expensive, as it is this year, Red (.'lover 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 to 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 60 lbs

Of great value for Bowing in the fall for plowing
