THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN GRASS SEEDS 
Even if farmers have a surplus of cheaper, local 
grown seed. There is as much difference between 
poorly cleaned, country run seed and thoroughly re¬ 
cleaned graded seed as between other raw and finished 
products. 
The difference in quality is far greater than the 
difference in price of thoroughly cleaned, bright color, 
plump, high in purity and germination, and uniform 
in quality. 
BRUSH PASTURE MIXTURE 
The modern farmer and stockman does not dig grubs and stumps from brush lands; the expense of muscle 
and money is too great to warrant the cost. After the wood from such lands has been cut and sold, he seeds the 
field to tame grasses and clovers which soon take possession of the soil, when it is pastured with sheep, horses 
and other stock. During the time of pasturing the roots and stumps will decay and thus the brush lands are 
made profitable from the beginning at very low cost. Write for price 
REED CANARY (Phalaris arundiuacea) 
Reed Canary Grass—On some farms there will be found a piece of low, wet land, that is too wet for Red 
Top or other grasses. For such a soil, there is nothing better that we know of than Reed Canary Grass. This 
remarkable grass sends its long, twining roots deep into the soil and brings forth a grass from four to eight 
feet tall. If you have wet soils you should try some of this wonderful grass seed and see what it will do for you. 
BROMUS INERMIS Write for price 
(Awnless Brome Grass) 
Bromus Inermis—(Awnless Brome Grass.) This is a native of the Russian Steppes and thus is suited to a 
cold climate and dry soil. It is strongly recommended. It is good for pasture, and in some places for meadow 
—where the conditions are favorable. Brome Grass makes a dense growth of leaves which start down close to the 
ground. Animals like it well for pasture. Sheep and cattle like it the best of any grass. Write for price 
TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS (Avena Elatior) 
Tall Meadow Oat Grass (Avena Elatoir)—A magnificent grass, of rapid, luxuriant growth, growing on rich 
soil by June 15 to a height of 4 feet. Better than Timothy in the South. Can be cut three times and does well 
if sown alone. Tall Oat Grass vegetates with great luxuriance. It is early and productive and affords a plenti¬ 
ful aftermath. It is found most beneficial when retained by a close state of feeding. It makes a good hay ; is 
natural to sandy loams, but thrives on strong tenacious clays. It is a very hardy grass and endures much heat 
and cold. It possesses the advantage of early, quick and late growth, tillers well and is admirably calculated 
for a pasture grass. Write for price

DATE OF SHIPMENT

10 lbs. $1.00, postpaid. 
“EARLIEST OF ALL” 
We have yet to find an early potato that can com¬ 
pare with our “Earliest of All.” Its quick growth and 
early maturity give the ground for July planting, and 
a second crop can be grown the same season. Summer 
drought does not affect it, for its growth is complete 
before it can be injured. Planted early is ideal for 
“Dry Farming.” 
They can be had ready for baking nine weeks from 
planting, and fully matured in 12 weeks. 
“Earliest of All” is a healthy, vigorous grower, not 
subject to blight or disease and does not make a second 
growth. Keeps as well as any late potato. 
A handsome, shallow eyed, white-skinned potato of 
the finest table quality. 
AMERICAN WONDER 
American Wonder—Late. The American Wonder 
is one of the best all-round white potatoes in cultiva¬ 
tion. A strong grower, a great producer, and one of 
the best medium-long late varieties for general field 
culture. The vines are very strong and branching, 
with dark green foliage. Tubers white, large, and 
uniform in size; slightly compressed, with few eyes 
which are nearly flush with the surface. In quality it 
is unsurpassed; either baked or boiled it is dry and 
floury, and has a rich, sweet flavor.

listed.
