30 THE ELM CIT^ NURSERY COMPANY, 
Cdwn 6ra$$ Seed. 
WE offer only the best grade of grass seed the market affords, and as you 
will note, offer it by weight. The old way of selling seed by bulk 
measure was at best very unsatisfactory to the purchaser. Modern 
recleaning machines now make possible the removing of much of the chaff and 
foreign matter, so that seed so treated is very much heavier for the same bulk. 
It is therefore necessary to read carefully tbe following table of quantities to use, 
otherwise you are in danger of buying more seed than is required. A pound of 
our recleaned seed contains more grass seed than two quarts of many grass-seed 
mixtures put up in the chaff and sold by the quart.
