CLOVER AND GRASSES. 
MARKET CHANGES. Owing to the unsteady condition of the 
market this season, prices are constantly changing The prices 
given here are those ruling at the time this catalogue was pub- 
lished, Januar>' 1st. Should our prices seem high in any instance, 
we would consider it a favor if our customers m making up their 
order for farm seeds in large quantities would write us, and we 
will be pleased to quote prices ruling at the time received. Or we 
will fill all orders at lowe.st market price, as it is our intention to 
meet the competition of all reliable firms.

RED CLOVER. 
Medium Red Clover 
Thi.s i.f also listed as "June Clover" by some firms 
but it is simply Red Clover and wo don't want the 
farmers to think it anythinR else. Our .seed is care- 
fully grown and selected for seed purposes, we know 
the government report will back up our claim, which 
is, that there is no firm in America more particular 
regarding the purity of their seeds than ourselves. 
About !5 or 18 pounds arc sown to the acre. For 
pasturage when sown with gra.sscs it is excellent. It 
attains a height of 3 feet; is suiil 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 .-Vmerica who grow Grass an<i Clover 
seeds or that can supply good seed, but there is no 
firm in the West or Northwest that can beat our Se- 
l,;cted" Medium Red Clover. Orade A, lb. 30c, post- 
paid; pk. $2..S0, bu. (60 lbs.) $9.00. 
TirV.;*^ r>1^^TT<»•.• (See Cut.) (Trifolium Re- 
W niie plover, pgns.) a small headed white 
species that is very fragrant and exceedingly dasir- 
aole for mixing with lawn gra.ss seeds. Although it 
is not a heavy producer, it is of great value for use 
We pay particular attention to 
this department of our bu.siness. 
These seeds are selected with 
special reference to their quality.

^■tf^^fr, (Medicago Sativa.) (See Cut.) Also called Lucerne, Eternal 
Ailaila. Clover and Wonder Clover. This is truly the farmers' friend It 
ha« been grown in almost every portion of America and reports from the 
Northwest prove it to be one of the most desirable forage plants ever intro- 
duced 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 unequalcd. The roots sink down 
into the earth searching for nourishment and bringing to the .surface the 
phemioals and fertilizing materials that have been stored 10 to 15 feet deep 
One seeding stands for years. All cattle arc fond of it. If possible sow with 
oats at the rate of 15 pounds per acre, or it the land is very poor sow 3 pounds 
more The first .season the growth will be very light, but don't be worried it

CRIMSO.N CLOVER. 
Mammoth Red Clover. 
Also calleil English and Sap- 
ling. Well known in many parts of the country, and highly valued 
for its enormous yield and for reclaiming exhausted land. lor hog 
pasture and as a hog fattener it has no equal, and is far sui;erior to 
the Common Red or .lune Clover. Where permanent hog pastures 
are wanted this variety has given the best results, as it is permanent , 
and does, not freeze out as easily a.s the Common Red Clover, and 
is therefore better adapted for fall sowuig. It will make very large 
nntpf of hay, viclding from 3 to 4 tons per acre. As a fertilizer to 
plow under' green, it IS excellent. Sow 8 to 12 pounds per acre,

clover. Perennial. On rich, moist soils it yields an enormous 
quantitv of hay or pasturage, but its greatest value is for sowing 
with other clovers and grasses as it forms a thick bottom and great- 
Iv increases the yield of hay; cattle prefer it to any other forage. 
The heads are glo'bular. fragrant and much liked by bees, which ob- 
tain a large amount of honey from them. .Sow in spring or tall at 
the rate of fi pounds per acre, when used alone. Grade A, lb. 30c,

Giant Crimson or Incarnate Clover. 
('t'rifolium 
Incarnatum.) This is an annual variety which has been grown large- 
ly in the Southern, Middle and Northern states In good ground it 
(if ten grows to the height of 2 feet, and even in poor soil where red 
clover fails it will make a splendid growth. The yield m fodder is 
immense, and after cuttini? it at once commences to grow again and 
continues until cold, freezing weather. Sow at the rate of 10 pounds

be careful not to

water soaked after 
cutting, as it great-

variety was introduced 
by the Depart n ent of Agriculture andhasgivcn 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 
found was bare. It will also stand extreme drought, as 
in localities where the sutnmeis are dry and hot and 
the winters extremly cold. We believe the farmers of this country wiU 
find it of special value, making not only a larger top growth but much better 
root growth. Lb. 35c, Pk. $3.25, Bu. $12.00.
