GRASSES AND CLOVERS 
The ideal time for sowing Grass and Clover Seeds is from March to May in 
the Spring and from September to November in the Fall, except where noted. 
As a rule, most people are far too careless with regard to the quality of the grass and clover seeds which they buy. It 
requires an experienced eye to detect the various grades of these seeds, and, indeed, it is no uncommon thing for us to meet 
persons who are entirely ignorant that different grades exist. To them clover is clover, whether it be old or new, pure or 
full of noxious weeds. Like everything else, grasses and clovers may be had to order! at any price, but the farmer who 
thinks that he has saved money by buying cheap seeds needs feel no surprise if he fails in getting a stand, or if his fields are 
covered the next season with weeds previously unknown. 
We desire to call especial attention to the fact that grass and clover seeds are usually offered for sale in three grades of 
quality—prime, choice, fancy—according to purity, germination and weight, and that the price of the best grade is consider¬ 
ably higher than the ordinary grade, and is always worth the difference. We handle only the very highest grade. The purity 
and freshness of our grasses and clovers may be relied upon with the same confidence that is universally felt with regard 
to the garden seed sent out by us. 
The market prices of these seeds are constantly changing; quotations by mail or wire furnished upon applica¬ 
tion. They are sold strictly net cash, “F. O. B. Norfolk,” quotations subject to change without notice.
