WALTER S. SCHELL, Inc., QUALITY SEEDS, HARRISBURG, PENNA. 
Field Seeds, continued 
CRIMSON or Scarlet Clover. Sow 15 lbs. to the acre. 
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. Very best quality seed. Bus., 60 lbs. 
5 lbs. $1.10; 10 lbs. $1.90; 20 lbs. $3.55, postpaid. 
By freight 30 lbs. $3.75; 60 lbs. (bus.) $7.45. 
WHITE (White Dutch or Lawn Clover). 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. Bus., 
60 lbs. Lb. 60 cts.; 5 lbs. $2.75; 10 lbs. $5, post¬ 
paid. By freight 30 lbs. $13.50; 50 lbs. $22.50. 
HUBAM. A Clover said to be of very special value to 
bee-keepers because of its honey-producing flowers. 
Lb. 50 cts.; 5 lbs. $2.25; 10 lbs. $4, postpaid. By 
freight 30 lbs. $9; 60 lbs. (bus.) $18. 
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, provided there is a good supply of lime in 
the soil. 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. I can supply you with 
the best. Bus., 60 lbs. Our Sweet Clover seed is 
scarified to quicken germination. 5 lbs. 80 cts.; 
10 lbs. $1.30; 20 lbs. $2.30, postpaid. By freight 
30 lbs. $2.50; 60 lbs. (bus.) $4.95. 
TIMOTHY. Sow 4 to 6 quarts to the acre when sown 
in grain, or 10 quarts (15 pounds) when sown alone 
for meadow use. Timothy is the most important 
hay crop in this country. My high-quality seed 
averages 99.70 per cent pure, which is the highest 
quality possible to have. Bus., 45 lbs. 5 lbs. $1.10; 
10 lbs. $1.80; 20 lbs. $3.20, postpaid. By freight 
22V 2 lbs. $2.55; 45 lbs. (bus.) $4.90. 
WOOD MEADOW GRASS. Is excellent in wooded or 
shaded meadows or lawns. Sow 30 pounds to the 
acre. 5 lbs. $3.50; 10 lbs. $6.50; 20 lbs. $12, post¬ 
paid. By freight 30 lbs. $16.50; 50 lbs. $27.50; 
100 lbs. $55. 
CANADIAN BLUE GRASS. Thrives well on clay 
soils as well as other soils. Bus., 14 lbs. 5 lbs. $1.50; 
10 lbs. $2.60; 14 lbs. $3.50, postpaid. By freight 
30 lbs. $6; 50 lbs. $9.50; 100 lbs. $18.75. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. This, the best of all 
native American grasses, is best suited for pasture. It 
succeeds everywhere and lasts for years. All stock 
like it, and after it is once well established, after the 
second year, its sod is heavy and it will stand close 
grazing, but it should not be grazed too closely the 
first two years. Twenty pounds of Kentucky Blue 
Grass, mixed with 8 pounds of Fancy Redtop (per 
acre) will make for you a splendid pasture. Kentucky 
Blue Grass seed is valuable for sowing on lawns to 
renew them. When sown alone for pasture use 28 
pounds to the acre in spring or fall. A legal bushel 
weighs 14 pounds (it takes from 19 to 21 pounds of 
the best seed to make a measured bushel). 5 lbs. $2; 
10 lbs. $3.50; 14 lbs. $4.65, postpaid. By freight 
30 lbs. $8.40; 50 lbs. $12.50; 100 lbs. $25. 
FANCY REDTOP. No other grass will grow under 
a greater variety of conditions than Redtop. It is 
the best of all wet-land grasses and will grow success¬ 
fully on soils so deficient in lime that most other 
grasses would fail. On wet heavy bottom soil it 
grows to perfection and is especially valuable for 
land liable to overflow. It is also a valuable grass for 
binding soils on land that slopes. Sow 15 pounds of 
Fancy seed per acre for meadows. There is such a 
vast difference in the qualities of the different grades 
of the seed of Redtop that the weight per bushel 
varies from 14 to 32 pounds. Sow Schell’s Fancy Red- 
top, 32 pounds to the bushel, which is the highest 
quality. Sow in spring or fall. Bus., 32 lbs. 5 lbs. 
$1.50; 10 lbs. $2.50; 20 lbs. $4.50, postpaid. By 
freight 32 lbs. $5.50; 100 lbs. $17. 
ORCHARD GRASS. Very valuable for both pasture 
and hay grass and all stock like it. It stands close 
grazing and will stand dry weather better than almost 
any other grass. It starts its growth very early in 
the spring and is one of the last grasses to be affected 
by frost in the fall. It is the best grass for growing 
in orchards and for sowing in wooded land used for 
pasture. Sow 2 bushels (28 pounds) to the acre. 
Bus.,i4lbs. 5 lbs. $1.80; lOlbs. $2.35; 14 lbs. $2.95, 
postpaid. By freight 30 lbs. $5.10; 50 lbs. $7.85; 
100 lbs. $15.35. 
PERMANENT PASTURE MIXTURE for Uplands 
and for Lowlands. I have a well-balanced pasture- 
producing mixture made up of grasses specially suited 
for uplands and also one for lowlands. If you have a 
piece of ground you wish to put into permanent 
pasture use either one of these high-quality mixtures. 
Sow 45 pounds (3 bushels) to the acre. One seeding 
lasts for many years and may be renewed by sowing 
Kentucky Blue Grass or Fancy Redtop, or both, 
over the pasture field in spring or early fall, at the rate 
of 10 pounds per acre. I sell great quantities of my 
Permanent Pasture Mixture. Bus., 15 lbs. 5 lbs. 
$1.25; 10 lbs. $2.20; 15 lbs. $3, postpaid. By- 
freight 30 lbs. $5.10; 50 lbs. $7.50; 100 lbs. $15. 
MILLET, Golden. Sow 3 pecks (36 pounds) to the 
acre, either by using grain-drill or broadcast it. If 
less than this quantity of seed is sown, the hay is 
coarse. This is the most popular variety and I sell 
great quantities of it. It is sown from May until as 
late as the early part of July and produces an immense 
crop of hay in 60 days from the time the seed is 
sown. The hay should be cut just as it begins to head, 
before blooming, and makes good feed for both 
cattle and horses, especially the former. Bus., 50 lbs. 
5 lbs. 55 cts.; 10 lbs. 90 cts.; 20 lbs. $1.50, postpaid. 
By freight 25 lbs. $1.25; 50 lbs. (bus.) $2.35. 
MILLET, Hungarian. Sow 3 pecks (36 pounds) to 
the acre. Does especially' well on rich soils and makes 
a finer quality of hay than Golden Millet. It also 
makes a second growth from roots, therefore can be 
pastured. Gives 2 to 3 tons of hay to the acre. 5 
lbs. 50 cts.; 10 lbs. 85 cts.; 20 lbs. $1.40, postpaid. 
By freight 24 lbs. $1.20; 48 lbs. (bus.) $2.25. 
SUDAN GRASS. Sow 20 pounds per acre broadcast 
or drill it in. Sowing this quantity makes the best 
quality hay, which is relished by all stock because of 
its sweet flavor. It is very easy to grow and is one 
of the few crops that will grow during dry weather. 
Sow the seed only after all danger of frost is past and 
when the ground is thoroughly warm. The hay- 
should be cut when it is in full bloom. Two or three 
crops may sometimes be cut the same season. Sudan 
Grass makes an excellent silage when mixed with 
other legumes. Sow Shell’s Quality seed. Reliable 
seed is of the utmost importance. The plants grow 
6 to 7 feet high and mature a crop in 65 day-s. 5 lbs. 
80 cts.; 10 lbs. $1.45; 20 lbs. $2.50, postpaid. By 
freight 35 lbs. (bus.) $3; 100 lbs. $7.50. 
BUCKWHEAT. Sow ^bushel with drill or 1 bushel 
broadcast. Japanese is considered the best variety 
and the flour of it is superior to any other. It ripens 
early. Sow the seed May or June. It is ready to 
harvest August or September. Bus., 48 lbs. 5 lbs. 
50 cts.; 10 lbs. 80 cts.; 20 lbs. $1.30, postpaid. 
By freight 24 lbs. $1.35; 48 lbs. (bus.) $2.45. 
CANADA FIELD PEAS. Sow 1 ]A bushels to the acre. 
It is best to grow them alone, but the most satis¬ 
factory dairy results come from sowing them with 
oats, rye, or barley'. It makes good ensilage and is a 
valuable food, green or dry, for cattle, being very rich 
in milk-producing elements. May be sown early in 
spring and will be ready to cut in May or June. It 
also makes a valuable hog pasture when sown with 
oats and rape. Bus., 60 lbs. 5 lbs. 70 cts.; 10 lbs. 
$1.15; 20 lbs. $1.95, postpaid. By freight 30 lbs. 
$2; 60 lbs. $3.90.

Japan or Common. (Annual.) 5 lbs. 85 cts.; 
10 lbs. $1.50, postpaid. By r freight 50 lbs. $5.
