751 Pure Timothy 
.We wish to call the attention of our brother 
■farmers 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 speculating purposes, regardless of vitality, 
and has been grown by everybody and anybody, on 
neglected farms, mainly for the purpose of sub- 
duing all kinds of foul weeds, our Home-grown 
"Puritv Brand" Timothy Seed which we offer is 
.always fresh and of the highest vitality, and has 
been grown right here in the most prosperous 
farming country in the United States, on good, 
rich lands, free from all l<ind.s of noxious weeds. 
Sow 10 to 12 pounds per acre. % 1)>., 17 cts.; lb.,

'^5^ 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 combination 
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 anv 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 
anv 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 \lsilce forms a thick bottom and greatly increases the amount of 
nasture or hay, and stock prefer it to Timothy alone. 
The Timothv acts as protector to the Alsike through the winter and it 
never winter "kills. They are beneficial to each other m growth, as the 
Alsike supplies the nitrogen to the soil, thus keeping it in proper concll- 
tion for the best growth of Timothy. The yield is enorn.ous and ot the 
best quality of hSy. 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 separately. This is a splendid 
vielder and can be produced for much less than it grown separate. ;iou 
cannot buV the Alsike and Timothy separate and mix it at anything like 
as cheap as this combination threshed together. It is the cheapest grass 
seed yoii can sow, costing much less th.an when you buy the seed alone. 
Farmers, if vou are going to seed down some of 
vdur land bv raising Timothy and clover, or either 
iilone, try this Alsike an.d 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 
a light nurse crop either wheat, oats or barley. 
As to the proportion of this mixture, it varies ac- 
cording to the way it was when threshed, but 
contains about H Alsike, sometimes more, and the 
balance Timothv, which is about the right pro- 
portion for seeding to give best results. It re- 
quires 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 guarantee our 
seed to please or it can be returned and money 
will be refunded. Va ll>„ 20 ets.t lb., 38 els.; 3 Ibsi.,
