FORREST’S HONEST SEEDS 
57 
FARM AND FIELD SEEDS 
We fully appreciate the importance to the farmer of good field crops, and if we could only meet 
every one, and talk over the great vital question to the farmer, “Field Seeds and Forage Crops,” 
how we would enjoy it. We are constantly trying something new, trying to get a hundred blades 
of grass to grow where only one grew before. With what strides we are going forward, we take 
pride in this branch of our trade. We have a new three-story building where we can handle and 
clean our seeds with the best possible results. Our seed grain is grown especially for seed, and we 
send it out knowing that it will give you perfect satisfaction. We have made the lowest price that 
good pure seed can be sold at, and earnestly request you to give us a trial. 
WHOLESALE PRICES 
Let us send you samples and prices of any field seeds that you intend buying, and, 
if there is any inside, we will cheerfully give it to you. We are able to give you very 
low prices on some varieties this year. 
All seeds under this head are to be delivered to the express or railroad at Cortland, 
purchaser paying transportation charges, unless otherwise ordered. We make no 
charge for bags or cartage. 
CLOVERS 
White—Valuable to mix with lawn grass. Should be in every mixture for permanent pasture, 
100 tbs. $25. Pound by mail, 35c. 
Scarlet or Crimson—Most valuable crop for green manuring, soiling, hay, pasture, and 
ensilage. It is an annual, and must be sown every year. Improves worn-out and poor soils, 
and is the cheapest and best fertilizer. Being a winter crop, it shold be sown in August and 
September. Sow 10 to 15 tbs. per acre. By mail, one tb. 25c. By express or freight, pk. $1.75. 
Alsike or Swedish—Thrives on rich, moist soil; does not succeed on high, dry lands. Six 
pounds to the acre. One pound by mail 30c. 
Alfalfa or Lucerne—Where this succeeds, it is the most valuable of all clovers. Requires a 
very fine, mellow, deep soil. One pound by mail 30c. 
Mammoth or Pea Vine Clover—Very hard to obtain nowadays. We have a nice lot of State 
grown. Write for prices. 
Red Medium—This is the common Red Clover so largely grown. We shall be pleased to 
quote prices at any time. 
. GRASSES 
Timothy—By far the most popular and valuable hay grass in the United States, best, and 
most highly used of all the native grasses; too well known to need a description. We will give you 
very close prices; write for samples and prices. Pound, postpaid, 18c. 
Orchard Grass—Is one of the best pasture grasses, and is becoming more popular every year. 
To cut for hay, needs cutting early, when just in bloom; if left to stand it becomes woody and 
tough; if cut early, it is exceedingly palatable to stock, and will stand hard cropping as a pasture 
—will grow in sun and shade. One-and-one-half to two bushels per acre. Per bushel of 14 lbs. 
$2.00. Honest pkt. 5c, lb. 20c, postpaid. 
Meadow Fescue or English Blue Grass—This should be very much more largely used than 
at present. It makes a most excellent hay and pasturage grass, and is particularly valuable for 
fall and winter pasturage, as it remains green throughout the winter. It is also a splendid spring 
and summer grass, and usually makes more and thicker leafage than any other grass we have ever 
grown. Lb. 25c, postpaid. By express or freight, bu. of 22 lbs. $2.50.
