Grass Seed and Clover 
TIMOTHY. The most popular grass to sow for hay. 
RED TOP. Succeeds in almost any situation. Fine for lawns or to sow 
with timothy for hay. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. One of the best grasses for pastures 
and lawns. 
ORCHARD GRASS. A valuable grass for pasture and also for hay. 
RED CLOVER. Used both in mixtures for hay and for pasture. 
ALSIKE CLOVER. More hardy than red clover and succeeding well 
where the ground is low and moist. 
WHITE CLOVER. Used largely for lawns and in pasture mixtures. 
ALFALFA. We offer the Grimm’s Alfalfa as the variety best adapted 
to New England. 
Red Top Grass. 
Early English Dwarf Essex Rape 
Superior to any other variety offered. A forage plant of great 
merit, easily grown in any locality, and one of the most satis- 
factory quick growing crops, especially for sheep. As a fattening 
food for sheep, cattle, calves or pigs, it is without a rival in point 
of cheapness, is hardy, withstands drought, and will produce a 
crop in any soil. The seed may be sown from May to July, 10 
to 12 pounds to an acre. Per lb., 20c; per 100 lbs., #18.00. 
Vetches or Tares 
Spring Vetches. Highly valuable for sowing or for green manur¬ 
ing. Sometimes grown for oats, for mowing and feeding to stock. 
Use 120 to 180 pounds to the acre broadcast, or 60 to 120 lbs. 
in drills. 
Winter Vetches. Also called Sand Vetch or Hairy Vetch. Rec¬ 
ommended for fall sowing, with rye, which serves as a support. 
It is perfectly hardy in all parts of the country, can be harvested 
or plowed under and the ground used for the usual spring crop. 
Sow 60 lbs. of seed per acre, together with one-half bushel of rye. 
Soja Beans 
Sow one-half bushel to the acre. 
Produce an enormous crop of both vines and pods. Valuable 
as a forage crop and fertilizing the soil, also pasturing, feeding 
as green fodder and for silo purposes. 
It is a heavy yielder, with stiff straw, thin hull, and stands dry 
weather well. 
Rye 
ROSEN RYE (Winter). Produces a strong, vigorous straw and 
stools to remarkable degree. The grain is large, plump, heavy 
and of a beautiful color, commanding a premium on the mar¬ 
ket over other grains. Owing to its vigorous stooling property 
less seed is required, the practice being about one and one-half 
bushels to an acre. At the State Experimental Farms in Michi¬ 
gan for a number of years the average yield has been 41.3 
bushels per acre of an exceptionally high quality of grain, and 
46 bushels per acre is not an unusual yield. 
RYE (Spring). For a catch crop this is best for sowing in the 
Spring, as a crop may be obtained by later sowing than any 
other grain, although it does not yield as heavy as the winter rye. 
Soja Beans. 
Early English Dwarf Essex Rape. 
Cow Peas 
Sow at the rate of one and one-half bushels per acre. 
Cow peas are one of the best, largest yielding and most nu¬ 
tritious of the farm crops; they provide the most inexpensive 
methods of bringing soil back to a stage of fertility. They grow 
in the poorest kind of soil, leaving it very rich in ammonia. 
Wheat 
MARQUIS WHEAT (Spring). In appearance Marquis Wheat is 
similar to Red Fife, but the heads as a rule are heavier and the 
stalks shorter, making it less likely to lodge. The kernel is 
flinty, and a little darker red and more plump than Fife. It is 
a beardless, having smooth yellow chaff, but its most valuable 
feature lies in its earliness, as it matures a week or ten days earlier 
than the Red Fife. Threshing reports from the northwest indi¬ 
cate yields of 40 to 50 bushels per acre; weight, 64 to 66 lbs. per 
measured bushel, and they report it to be of the highest milling 
quality. 
Ceresan 
For Seed Treatment of Small Grains 
For extra profit treat oats, barley and 
wheat with New Improved Ceresan. Unu¬ 
sually effective in controlling smut. Applied 
by dusting on seed, only 2 ounces for wheat 
or rye, 3 ounces for barley and oats. Often 
increases yield one to five bushels per acre. 
Price: 1 lb., 75c; 5 lbs., #3.00; 25 lbs., 
#12.50; 100 lbs., #49.00; 300 lbs., #144.00.
