62 GRASS, FIEI.D AND AGRICULTURAL SEEDS. 
Scarlet or Crimson Clover (Trifolium Incarnatum).— The most beautiful of all 
Clovers readily distinguished by the bright crimson color of its flowers. Exceed- 
ingly productive and very palatable to cattle. It is the latest of all the Clover 
family, and thus affords a desirable succession of green food. 
At present in much demand. Has proved exceedingly valuable, 
both as a cattle-feeding Clover and as a green manure for plowing 
under. In the latitude of Philadelphia it may be sown any time 
between March and September. Sow lo lbs. to the acre. 
Per bush. $3.50; per lb. $0 08 
White Dutch Clover (Trifolium Repens),— Not a heavy pro- 
ducer of hay, but invaluable in permanent pastures. Will grow 
on any soil, but luxuriates in damp locations and in damp sea- 
sons. It is very persistent in growth on rich soils, affording rare 
feed, but on thin soils will not succeed. Sow 12 lbs. to the acre.

OATS. 
Probsteier.— A fine White Oat. Yields well and stands up well; grain full, long, with 
thin hull per bush. 
Russian White. — One of the best. A strong grower and good cropper, highly recom- 
mended as showy and profitable per bush. 
Surprise per bu.sh. 
Southern Winter. — For twenty-five years we have been growing this very hardy pro- 
ductive Oat extensively on our Virginia plantation. No other variety tested there 
can compare with it. In Virginia we sow it from September 15 to November 15 ; 
pasture it during Winter and cut from it a greater number of pounds of grain than 
any other Oat will produce in that section. A production of 60 bushels of exceed- 
ingly heavy grain to the acre is not uncommon. The grain is dark, evidently re- 
motely derived from a black-hulled variety. We have sown this Oat on our 
Bloomsdale, Pa., farm in the month of March, and have cut 60 bushels in Sep- 
tember per lb., postpaid, i8c.; per bush. 
Texas Rust Proof per bush. 
Welcome. — A White Oat, introduced five 5'ears ago. Karly, heavy and productive ; 
strong straw, growing five to six feet high, and making large stools ; said to have 
yielded as much as 97 bushels to the acre per bush. 
White Belgian.— A remarkably heavy and productive White Oat, attractive in appear- 
ance and in every way most desirable. Ten days ahead of most other varieties, 
and therefore ripening at a more convenient season per bush. 
Wide- Awake Oats.— Average height, four to six feet; straw sufficiently strong and 
firm to prevent "lodging." Average yield, 65 to 90 bushels per acre, according to 
the nature and condition of the soil. Grain heavy and plump, having large meat 
and thin husk. The hardiness and vigor of this variety is said to be in excess of 
that of any other known sort, while the tendency to rust is greatly diminished. 
Thoroughly tested with all the leading varieties of this country, it is reported to 
liave proved itself very superior per bush.
