Red Clover. 
Medium Red Clover. gSffi $?f*E 
hsted as "June Clover" by some firms, but it is simply 
lied Clover and we dont want the farmers to think it 
anything else. Our seed is carefully grown and selected 
for seed purposes, we know the government report will 
hack up our claim, which is, that there is no firm in 
America more particular regarding the purity of their 
seeds than ourselves. About 15 or 18 pounds are sown 
to the acre. For pasturage when sown with grasses it 
is excellent. It attains a height of 3 feet; is said by 
many to be the best clover for hay. We are not going 
to say (as some of our competitors do) that we are the 
only seedsmen in America who grow grass and Clover 
seeds or that can supply good seed, but there is no firm 
in the West or Northwest that can beat our "Selected

Mammoth Red Clover. t ( e ™ 0liu m eren p n r e a ; 
Also called English and Sappling. Well known in many 
parts of the country, and highly valued f©r its enormous 
yield and for reclaiming, exhausted land. For hog pas- 
ture and as a hog fattener it has no equal, and is far super- 
ior to the Common Red or June Clover. Where i>er- 
inunent hog pastures are wanted this variety has given 
the best results, as it is permanent, and does not freeze 
out as easily as the Common Red Clover, and is there- 
fore better adapted for fall sowing. It will make very 
large crops of nay, yielding from 3 to 4 tons per acre. 
As a fertilizer to plow under green, it is excellent. Sow 
8 to 12 pounds per acre. Grade A., Minnesota Grown,

Giant Crimson or Incarnate Clover. 
(See Cut.) (Trifolium Incarnatum.) This is an annual 
variety which has been grown largely in the Southern 
Middle and Northern states. In good ground it often 
growns to the height of 2 feet, and even in poor soil where 
red clover fails it will make a splendid growth. The 
yield in fodder is immense, and after cutting it at once 
commences to grow again and continues until cold, 
freezing weather. Seed should be sown early in August 
or September, so that the plants will become well es- 
tablished before winter. It is especially valuable for 
sowing amongst corn or other crops at time of the last 
cultivation, as it will secure a good stand in the par- 
tial shad " and will afford a dose dense mat of growing 
foliage to turn under in the spring. Sow at the rate of 
10 pounds per acre. Lb., 25c, postpaid; pk., $1.75; 
bu., (GO lbs.) $6.75; 100 lbs., $11.00. 
High Grade, Extra Cleaned 
Clover Seeds. 
At pound prices, we send by mail, postpaid. In larger quantities the 
prices are for seed to be sent by express or freight (sack included), at 
purchaser's expense. 
Nothing is more important to the farmer than that the grass seed he 
sows should be pure and clean. The seed should also be plump, heavy, 
and well ripened so as to insure a good stand. First-class thoroughly 
cleaned seed, while considerably more costly in the first place, is really 
much cheaper in the end than the light chaffy grades so generally sold at 
much lower prices — even should the latter be free of weeds. Heavy plump 
seed, germinating better, will produce a much greater number of strong 
plants. We pay particular attention to this department of our business. 
These seeds are selected with special reference to their quality. Purchasers 
may rely on our exertions to furnish grass and field seeds, fresh, pure and 
free from noxious and foreign seeds. The seeds we offer are all recleaned 
by the best up-to-date machinery procurable. 
Alfalfa-.

Crimson Clover. 
(Medicago > Sativa.) (See Cut.) Also called Lucerne, Eternal Clover and Wonder 
Clover. This is truly the farmer's friend. It has been grown in almost every 
portion of America and reports from the Northwest prove it to be one oT the most desirable 
forage plants ever introduced. It stands drouth and dampness, and succeeds during hot dry 
weather when many other clovers and grasses fail entirely. Heavy rains or snows have no 
damaging effect whatever, and simply make it flourish more than ever. As a fertilizing, land 
enriching crop it is uncqualed. The roots sink down into the earth searching for nourishment 
and bring it to the surface the chemicals and fertilizing materials that have been 
seeding stands for years. All cattle are fond of it. If 
possible sow with oats at the rate of IS pounds per acre, 
or if the land is very poor sow three pounds more. The 
first season the growth will be very light, but don't be 
worried if the plants are small and several inches apart, 
for that means the next season you will probably get 
from 3 to 5 tons per acre, and it increases for several 
years producing as high as 10 tons, but that is a very 
large yield. It should be cut when in full bloom, but 
don't cut too early and be careful not to allow it to be- 
come water soaked after cutting, as it greatly reduces 
its value for feeding. Don't feed hungry stock on it 
when it is green, as it is likely to bloat them, for they 
invariably over eat; by this we mean not to turn hungry 
stock loose in a field of Alfalfa, Grade A., The best.

the Department of Agriculture ami has given such ex- 
cellent satisfaction that we heartily recommend it to our 
customers. It is more hardy than the Lucerne, having 
stood a temperature of 40 degrees below zero when the 
ground was bare. It will also stand extreme drought, 
as it has been tested in localities where the summers are 
dry and hot and the winters extremely cold. We be- 
lieve the farmers of this country will find it of special 
value, making not onlv a larger top growth but much 
better root growth. Lb., 35c; pk., $3.00; bu., $11.40;

Alsike or Swedish Clover. \% ? f , u m 
Hybridum.) A very hardy clover. Perennial. On rich, 
moist soils it yields an enormous quantity of hay or pas- 
turage, but its greatest value is for sowing with other 
clovers and grasses as it forms a thick bottom and great- 
ly increases the yield of hay; cattle prefer it to am* other 
forage. The heads are globular, fragrant and much liked 
by bees, which obtain a large amount of honey from 
them. Sow in spring or fall at the rate of (> pounds per 
acre, when used alone. Grade A, lb., 30c., postpaid;

Alfalfa Clover. 
White Clover. 
(See Cut.) (Trifolium Repens.) A small 
headed white species that is very fra- 
grant and exceedingly desirable for mixing with lawn grass 
seeds. Although is it not a heavy producer, it is of great value 
for use in permanent pastures, as it affords a most nutritious 
food for sheep and cattle. This variety will succeed in almost 
any soil. Usually about 6 pounds are sown to the arce.

we would be pleased to quote prices ruilng at the time recci
