FROM OUR SEED FARMS DIRECT TO THE PLANTER 31 
GRASS SEED 
It is of the greatest importance to the progressive farmer that the utmost care be exercised in the selec¬ 
tion of suitable Grasses for hay or permanent pasture, and satisfactory results can be obtained only by the use 
of first-class seed—pure and clean. The initial cost may be a little higher, but the returns are immensely 
more lucrative than those gained from cheap seed of inferior quality. We have had long experience in the 
handling of high-grade Grass seeds, and it is grati¬ 
fying to know that we have succeeded in giving 
satisfaction to an ever increasing circle of customers. 
We offer below choice, recleaned seed—practically 
free from chaff or other foreign matter. As the 
Grass seed market fluctuates greatly, we are unable 
to fix permanent prices, but will be pleased to 
quote figures upon application.
