Grasses, 
Special aiientioft is called to the fact that by advantageous arrangements 7uith the parties 7uho 
gro7u the different seeds for us, 7ve are enabled to make a large reduction in the prices of Perma¬ 
nent Pasture and other Grass Mixtures, 7uithout impairing the very high standard of purity and 
germination that 7 ve have ahuays maintained.

grass to graiu upon a spot of ground 7 vhere only one gre 7 u before 7 vould deserve better of mankind, 
and do more essential service to his country, than the 7 uhole race of politicians put togetherP _ 
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 arrangements for our stocks with one of the most ])rominent 
growers of Agricultural Gra.sses on the Continent, who, by virtue of many years’ experience in 
growing seeds of this peculiar character, has become the recognized headquarters for same. 
This will enable us to furnish our customers with the very best, and that which we know to be 
free from all adulteration.
