Recleaned 
Timothy-Alsike 
Natural Mixture 
In some of the northwestern states, especially Minnesota, 
and in certain sections of northern Canada, Alsike and 
Timothy grow naturally together, ripen at the same time, 
are harvested and threshed, and as the seed grains of 
Alsike and Timothy are practically of the same size, the 
two varieties cannot be separated. 
As Timothy is traded in on the big markets on the basis 
of purity, and as Alsike is not Timothy and is considered 
by the experts a foreign seed, we frequently are able to 
buy round lots of these fancy Mixtures containing 20 per 
cent or more of Alsike at only slightly higher prices than 
for the best Timothy, and as we pass these seeds on to 
you at our usual small margin of profit, you get the Alsike 
you need in your seeding Mixture at a little above the 
regular Timothy Price, and then by adding the required 
amount of our D. B. Medium and Mammoth Clovers, you 
have an ideal Mixture and save money on every acre you 
seed down. 
This is briefly the story of the Natural Mixture. Now 
these Mixtures are good, bad, and indifferent, and no one 
should buy a Mixture of any kind without a positive 
guarantee from a responsible seller as to the purity and 
also the percentage of each variety of seed in the Mixture. 
We sell just one grade—the best—and give, on our 
guarantee tag attached to each bag, the purity, germina¬ 
tion, and percentage of Alsike and Timothy in this par¬ 
ticular Mixture. The quantity of the two principal seeds 
may vary in different lots, but in all cases you will find 
“less than one per cent of weed seeds.” 
We are the largest handlers of this grade of seeds in 
America, shipping direct to the consumer, and can furnish 
it to you, we believe, for less money than you can purchase 
it from any other source.
