GRASSES. 
Special attention is called to the fact that by advan¬ 
tageous arrangements with the parties who grow the dif¬ 
ferent seeds for us, we are enabled to make a large 
reduction i?i the prices of Permanent Pasture and other 
Grass Mixtures, without impairing the very high stand¬ 
ard of purity and germination that we have always 
maintained . 
“And he gave it for his opinion that whoever would 
make two ears of corn or two blades of grass to grow 
upon a spot of ground where only one grew before would 
deserve better of mankind\ and do more essential service 
to his country, than the whole race of politicians put 
together .”— Swift. 
We desire to call special attention to the following 
list of Agricultural Grasses, which will, we think, 
be found very comprehensive, both as to varieties and 
descriptions. We are devoting a great deal of time 
to this most important subject, and the department has 
already become an extensive one with us. 
Having learned by experience that the so-called 
imported grasses which are offered by those making 
a specialty of them in this country are very far from 
reliable, both as regards purity and quality, we have 
found it necessary to import all our seeds of this 
character direct. We have accordingly made arrange¬ 
ments for our stocks with one of the most prominent 
growers of Agricultural Grasses on the Continent, 
who, by virtue of many years* experience in growing 
seeds of this peculiar character, has become the rec¬ 
ognized headquarters for same. This will enable us
