The term " Choice " as applied to Clover and Timothy does not only mean seed entirely 
free from weeds— this it may be, just as it comes from the threshing mill, and still 25 p. c. of 
the weight be immature, light grains, 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. 
1 We assure our patrons that the cost per acre of truly choice seed over 
inferior, is but little more than for common stufif. In order to send out clean 
seed, the Seed Merchant must have machinery capable of effecting this, and 
for years we have given this matter 
our closest attention. With our im- 
proved machinery for cleaning and 
grading, we are in a position to offer 
samples 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 unhuUed Lower Canada 
Timothy" is acknowledged to be supe- 
rior to seed grown in any other section 
on account of its size and plumpness 
and the strong growth of olants pro- 
duced bv it. 
NOTE. — All Clovere and Timothy of the 
various brands and qualities we offer for eiile 
are sold as being strictly Government Stand- 
ard and in accordance with the (Seed Control 
Act of Parliament.
