PURITY BRAND 
TIMOTHV SEED 
PURE TIMOTHY 
We wish to call the attention of our brother farm- 
ers to the difference between our Home-grown Purity 
Brand Timothy Seed and timothy seed handled by 
dealers and jobbers In the larger cities. While the 
latter oftentimes has been held for years for specu- 
lating: purposes, regardless of vitality, and has been 
grown by everybody and anybody, on neglected farms, 
mainly for the purpose of subdumg all kinds of foul 
weeds, our Home-grown "Purity Brand" Timothy 
Seed which we offer is always fresh and of the high- 
est vitality, and has been grown right here in the 
most prosperous farming country of the United 
States, on good, rich bottom lands, free from all 
kinds of noxious weeds. Sow 10 to 12 pounds per acre.

TIMOTHY AND ALSIKE CLOVER 
The Greatest of all Pasture and Hay Crops 
By far the best and cheapest seeding. On low bottom 
moist soils, where others fail, this will give perfect satis- 
faction and on upland it's amazing what wonderful 
crops you can raise. 
By experimenting it was found that Alsike and Timothy made a com- 
bmation that was excellent and ahead of anything yet discovered for hay 
and pasture. They blossom and the seed ripens together and are suited 
to the same soils. On low, moist lands, where other grasses would fail, 
they do especially well. They do well on any land where common grasses 
and clover grow. 
. One- great advantage that is realized by a mixture of these grasses 
IS the fact that they are both perennials and make a better combination 
than most any other two. "When you once get them established, they stay 
right with you, until you wish to break up the sod. They do not winter 
kill and are very hardy indeed. 
The Alsike forms a thick bottom and greatly Increases the amount of pasture, 
or hay, and stock prefer It to timothy alone. 
The Timothy acts as protector to the Alsike through the winter and it never 
winter kills. They are beneficial to each other in growth, as the alsike supplies 
the nitrogen to the Soil, thus keeping it in proper condition for the best growth 
of timothy. The yield is enormous and of the best quality of hay, having the 
highest feeding value for stock of all kinds and splendid for work horses when 
pure clover is objectionable. 
The seed grows together and mixed when threshed, and on account of seed 
being so nearly the same size, cannot be separated. It has no standard market 
value in the general market, so it is considerably cheaper than the two grasses 
when sold separate. It is a, splendid yielder and can be produced for much less 
than if grown separate. STou cannot buy the alsike and timothy separate and 
mix it at anything like as cheap as this combination threshed together. It Is 
the cheapest grass seed you can sow, costing much less than when you buy 
the seed alone. 
Partners, if you are going to seed down some of your 
land by raising timothy and clover or either alone, try 
this Alsike and Timothy combination. 
If you have a slough, or bottom land that is moist 
or too wet to farm, you should get some of our choice 
Mixed Alsike and Timothy seed as quickly as possible. 
It will be dollars in your pocket to sow it. 
It is best sown in the spring, and you can use as & 
light nurse crop either wheat, oats or barley. 
As to the proportion of this mixture, it varies accord- 
ing to the way it was when threshed, but contains about 
% Alsike. sometimes more, and the balance Timothy, 
which is about the right proportion for seeding to give 
best results. It requires from 10 to 15 pounds to an 
acre. Our seed is recleaned and free from noxious 
weeds, and is new crop of high germination. We guar- 
antee our seed to please or it can be returned and money 
will be refunded. Vi pound, aoc; pound, 38c; 3 pounds
