CLOVER 
Special Quotations for Large 
Quantities 
For many years we have made Grasses and Clover 
a careful study. Our slocks are free from weeds and 
of the highest germinating quality, and we offer them 
with the assurance that, if favored with your orders, 
they will be fdled promptly and with stock that can¬ 
not be excelled. Red Clover, Alfalfa and Kentucky 
Blue Grass arc again extremely scarce,— that is for 
good samples and early orders arc advisable. 
;“KING BRAND” 
of Clover and Timothy 
King brand appears upon our highest grades of both 
Timothy and Clover, and indicates that the seed is 
pure, fresh, and of the highest vitality. 
A-i brand is used upon grades 
which are perfectly pure, but not 
as handsome appearing. 
The Timothy especially is a 
greater part of it hulled, owing to 
the fact that it is fully ripened, 
and the hull separates from the 
seed in the cleaning process, but 
this does not in any way injure 
the vitality, as matured seed will 
always grow.

The Ideal Oat for the American Farm. 
This superb variety has already proven its 
superiority, and is undoubtedly the heaviest 
cropping white Oat ever offered, having yielded 
over 100 bushels to the acre and ordinary crops 
going sixty bushels and over. It is practically 
immune from rust, is the earliest and most 
bountiful cropper of the heavy growing sorts. 
Being a very deep rooter it resists drought 
more easily than others. The grains are abso¬ 
lutely white, thick and plump and very thinly 
hulled', making them most valuable as a feed¬ 
ing Oat. Although succeeding best on clay 
soils it has yielded generous amounts under 
all conditions. The straw is long and stout, 
and consequently stands up well, and does 
not lodge nor twist. Sow three bushels per 
acre. 
Pound, 25 cents; three lbs., 60 cents; 
peck, 50 cents ; bushel, $1.85. 
VicR’s Improved American 
Banner. When we introduced t*be Amer¬ 
ican Banner Oat we knew it was a good thing, and 
it still retains its place with the leaders, in fact its 
fame is higher and more secure than ever before. 
An average of eighty pounds have been raised from 
one pound of seed, and xoo bushels from an acre. 
The grain is white, large, and plump, ripens early; 
straw stiff and of good length. Postpaid, pound, 
20 cents ; three lbs., 50 cents. Peck, 50 cents; 
bushel, $1.35. 
BARLEY 
Hulless. Hulless, like wheat, when threshed. Ripens 
early' and yields about ten bushels more per acre 
than other barley. Pound, 25 cents ; peck, 75 
cents ; bushel, $2.25. 
Early Russian Six-Rowed. Formalting it has no 
equal; and the yield, as compared with other va¬ 
rieties, is enormous. Peck, 60 cents ; bu., $2.00. 
Champion Beardless. Early and prolific. Peck, 1 
75 cents ; bushel, $2.25. 
Manshurey. The most productive six-rowed var¬ 
iety. Ripens early, with strong, stiff straw. Peck, j 
60 cents ; bushel, $2.00. 
BUCKWHEAT 
Japanese. The yield of this variety is largely in 1 
excess of the old sorts. The straw is heavier and I 
more branching, kernels twice the size of the old I 
kinds, and ripening a week earlier. Pound, 20 
cents; peck, 50 cents; bushel, $1.75. 
Silver Hull. The best for flouring purposes. Kernels? 
smaller than Japanese, silvery gray in color.! 
Pound, 20 cents : peck, 50 cents ; bushel, $1.75.
