The term "Choice" as applied to Clover 
and Timothy does not only mean seed en- 
tirely free from weeds — this it may he just 
as it comes from the threshing mill, and still 
25 p. c. of the weight be immature, light 
gram^i, sand, etc.. that will not vegetate and 
are thus worthless. Choice seed should not 
only be free from weeds but be bright, of a 
high percentage of growth, and every grain 
large, plump, and uniform in size. 
We assure our patrons that the cost, 
per acre, of truly choice seed over infe- 
rior, is but little more than for common 
stuff. In order to send out clean seed, 
the Seed Merchant must have machi- 
nery capable of effecting this, and for 
years we have given this matter our 
closest attention. With our improved 
machinery for cleaning and grading, 
we are in a position to offer sample.* 
of the very finest quality. 
Farmers to whom it is inconvenient 
to deal direct with us should ask their 
store-keepers for Ewing's Select re- 
cleaned Lower Canada TIMOTHY (Sun 
and Moon Brands) and Choice Western 
"Trout" and be' sure that they get them. 
Our " Select Unhulled Lower 
Canada Timothy " is acknowledged to 
be superior to seed grown in any other 
section on account of its size and 
plumpness and the strong growth of 
plants produced by it. 
Note — All Clover.s and Timothy of the 
various brands and qualities we offer for sal© 
are sold as being strictly Government StaJid- 
ard and in accordance with the Seed Control 
Act of Parliament.
