TIMOTHY SEED 
Timothy, sown either alone or with Red Clover, forms a great bulk of the hay pro- 
duction in this country. It is too well known to need much description. It is so universally 
used that it needs no recommendation. Timothy is very easily established. The seed is 
inexpensive and easily sown. It is very hardy, easily enduring extremes of either heat or 
cold. When intended for pasture Tmothy should be sown along with Clover. These two 
grasses do well together. Timothy does not make a sod by itself, but with Clover will 
produce a growth that can be pastured with safety to both grasses. When sown alone about 
eight quarts of Timothy are required per acre. If sown with Clover, only about four or 
five quarts are needed per acre. 
Good Timothy Seed Important 
Good seed is an essential of success in farming Timothy. Don't buy a poor grade of 
Timothy Seed. Poor seed, besides being full of weeds, will not grow. Seed of poor ger- 
mination may come up weakly and live, but produces few stalks of uncertain growth. The 
difiPerence in cost of inferior Timothy and the better grades is so little that it is poor economy 
to buy the cheaper stuff always offered — a few cents per bushel less for a poor quality of 
seed may be costing you several tons of high-priced hay at "hay making." 
Our Timothy Grades 
"FARMERS' CHOICE" — always clean and of highest germination. It is made out of the 
cleanest and soundest seed that can be found in the market. We have been selling "Farmers' 
Choice" for years to the satisfaction of our growing trade — it is by far our best-selling grade — is 
moderately priced — and unexcelled for soundness. Sales are rapidly increasing each season on 
"Farmers' Choice." Less than one-fourth of the Timothy grown in America can be cleaned into 
"Farmers' Choice" quality. 
OUR "SAFE" is a little below "Farmers' Choice." It is as its name indicates, Safe to Sow, 
being free of objectionable weed seeds and germination high. Will comply easily with any 
State's seed laws. 
"NORTH-'WEST" TIMOTHY is the most stylish seed you have ever seen. Plump in the 
berry, clean, beautiful in color — not necessarily cleaner or of higher germination than "Farm- 
ers' Choice." But "North-West" is the choicest selection of the seed grown in the States of the 
North Rocky Mountain district — produced in shorter seasons — hence slightly earlier — a bit more 
hardy — and to produce a somewhat ranker growth than the seed brought from the great Middle 
West. The supply of "North-West" Timothy in our warehouse at this writing has a purity test 
of 99.80%, absolutely free of dangerous weed seeds. The supply of "North-West" Timothy is 
rather limited. If you happen to order when our stocks of it have been jold we will take the 
liberty to substitute "Farmers' Choice" and will refund you the difference in cost. 
Prices of Timothy vary all through the season, so we In comparing our prices 
cannot print them into our catalogue. We handle immense of grass seeds do not over- 
quantities and are always willing to give you benefit of close look our "Bags Free" and
