WALTER S. SCHELL'S QUALITY SEEDS FOR MARKET-GARDENERS 
A lo-acre field of Sudan Grass grown from our seed by Mr. C. M. Garvcr. Cumberland County, Pa. Mr. Garvcr, Jr.. is 
shown cutting through the center with his Moline Tractor and 8-foot Moline Tractor Mower. My, how it laid it over! He 
sowed 35 pounds to the acre (a little too heavy) and in eight weeks with no rain, cut Iwenly tons of feed from these lo acres. It 
gives two to three such crops a season. Mr. Garver does not shop around for cheap seed; he knows we have absolutely the best 
and he knows we sell it at the lowest possible price. It will pay you to always sow ScheU's Quality Seeds. 
SCHELL'S QUALITY FARM SEEDS 
The Great Importance of Sowing Good Seed 
I cannot emphasize this too strongly. We could sell you seeds of any kind at just as low price as you may be 
quoted elsevi'here if we were willing to give you that grade of seed (which you will recall you always expect to be 
the best), but we are not willing, and would rather lose your order than to supply you with any but the best. 
That is why we offer only one grade of all seeds, and that is our own Fancy Quality Grade, the purest and 
best in the land. Surely you see the wisdom of depending upon us for your seeds, for your profit is in the size and 
quality of your crops which depend on the quality of the seed you sow. The best of everything, seeds included, 
always costs a little more. 
PRICES. The prices of Clovers, Grasses, and all field seeds change with the market, up and down. From 
present indications there will not be much change this season, so we are quoting prices ruling January i. We 
suggest that you send your orders at these prices and if there should be any reduction we will refund the difference, 
sending you our check, and if the price should advance we will write you before filling your order. POSTPAID 
PRICES means the seed delivered to your door, if on a delivery route, all charges paid by us. Strong, 
Seamless Bags for shipping are charged for at cost, 35 cts. each, and are not returnable— every farmer has need 
for grain bags. 
CLOVERS 
RED. Sow 4 to 6 quarts to the acre, (i qt. equals 2 lbs.) 
Well known as the common Red or June clover. Sow 
in early spring in the wheat, or in fall. A clover sod 
, turned under is a real soil builder. Red Clover is 
very valuable for dairy cows because of its high per- 
centage of nitrogenous elements. My seed is extra 
fancy, highest quality. Price, bus. (6o lbs.) $!$■ (Post- 
paid, lb. so cts., 5 lbs. $2.25, lolbs. $4, 20 lbs. $6.50.) 
MAMMOTH or Pea-Vine. (Also called Sapling 
Clover). Sow 4 to 6 quarts to the acre. Attains a 
length of 5 feet. Variety of Red Clover but of greater 
size and strength and lasts longer. Price, bus. (60 
lbs.) $16.50. (Postpaid, lb. 50 cts., 5 lbs. $2.25, 
10 lbs. $4, 20 lbs. $6.75.) 
ALSIKE or Swedish. Sow 4 to 6 quarts to the acre. 
Alsike is hardy and will grow on land where Red 
Clover fails. It likes plenty of moisture, and it will 
thrive on low, wet soils if they are rich enough to 
grow an average grain crop. And pown alone for 
pasturage is very valuable and lasts for years. It 
will pay you well to sow my High- Quality Seed. 
Price, bus. (60 lbs.), $14.50. (Postpaid, lb. 50 cts., 
S lbs. $2.25, 10 lbs. $3.75. 20 lbs. $6.) 
CRIMSON or Scarlet. Sow 15 pounds to the acre. A 
most valuable winter cover crop and soil enricher. 
Seed should be sown in August or September; many 
sow it in cornfields at last working. Valuable also for 
pasture or hay. I have only the very best quality 
seed. Price, bus. (60 lbs.) $8. 50. (Postpaid, lb. 
30 cts., S lbs. $1.25, 10 lbs. $2.25, 20 lbs. $4.25.) 
"You may enter my order for 30 bushels of your Gold Brand Alfalfa seed and 75 bushels of your Fancy Timothy. We always 
have the very best results from your seed." — Mr. Hiram Billet, Bonnymead Farms. 
"The Alfalfa seed I ordered on the isth arrived on the i8th. I am very much pleased. The seed is nice, plump and dean, 
just like the sample you sent me." — Mr. L. D. Stull, Cambria County, Pa.

WHITE. Sow 3 pounds to the acre, with other grasses, 
or 6 pounds alone. It should be used in all grass 
mixtures for meadows, pasture, and especially for 
lawns. Price, bus. (60 lbs.) $32. (Postpaid, lb. 
75 cts., S lbs. $3.50, 10 lbs. $6.50, 20 lbs. $12.) 
HUBAM. The great honey-bearing Clover. The an- 
nual white sweet clover. It blooms in three to four 
months and continues blooming longer than any other 
honey-bearing plant. Sow 15 pounds to the acre. 
Postpaid, lb. $1.50, 5 lbs. $7, 10 lbs. $13. 
SWEET CLOVER, WHITE BLOSSOM or Bokhara. 
Biennial. Sow 15 pounds to the acre. Sweet Clover 
will grow on land too poor to raise Alfalfa or Red 
Clover, providing there is a good supply of lime in 
the soil. It will often grow and thrive on poor, clay, 
or sandy land where most crops would fail. For 
quick results in improving poor soil nothing sur- 
passes it. Poor sandy or heavy clay soil can be made 
rich by growing Sweet Clover for a few years; espe- 
cially when the whole crop is plowed under occa- 
sionally. It is a shrub-like plant, growing to a height 
of 4 to 6 feet. It produces a fair quality of hay and 
makes a good pasture for cattle, sheep, horses, and 
hogs, rarely causing bloating. Never sow any except 
the best seed; it is unwise and against your own 
interests. 1 can supply you with the best. Price, 
bus. (60 lbs.) $8.50. (Postpaid, lb. 30 cts.. s lbs. 
$1.25, 10 lbs. $2.25, 20 lbs. $4.25.)
