GRASS SEED 
It is of the greatest importance to the progressive 
farmer that the utmost care be exercised in the selection 
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 im¬ 
mensely more lucrative than those gained from cheap 
seed of inferior quality. We have had long ex¬ 
perience in the handling of high-grade Grass seeds, and 
it is gratifying 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.

as a pasture Grass and generally used in Lawn
